Announcing STORYLIVING BY DISNEY | New Business To Develop Residential Communities 

Got that right.

What’s that?

The 1% is killing regular people with real estate. A war is coming when they start to come for our basic needs . I’m sick of this evil world. Why can’t these people just be satisfied with their billions they already got.

@@maddalonefarms a TV show

Hey! What are you doing here! 😂😂😂

We been knew this. Anyone living in SoCal sees the ridiculous people prancing around on their Disney-themed dates, their mouse ears, their Tinder bios saying that they are annual passholders....this is a lifestyle for some people.

Really is.

@@slickburrito Soo true!

disney is such a crappy company, it's not worthy of a capital letter. Eschew disney like a bad case of yeast.

They have basically evolved into a whole government at this point.

big city retired people would welcome a change, maybe as a vacation home, not sure forever home

@@sidcapote2170 that’s not what Disney execs would tell you… 👀🥲👀🤷‍♂️🤫

@@MikeBrady68 Ah yes, being watched and controlled by a company in your own home truly sounds like a dream come true.

Like focusing on their parks, making it a good experience for families and stop increasing prices for less and less. Shameful.

EXACTLY!!!

Disney magic is DEAD ☠️ 🤮

They should make laws to keep business and hedgfunds from residential real estate. The rich is killing regular people with real estate. A war is coming when they start to come for our basic needs . I’m sick of this evil world. Why can’t these people just be satisfied with their billions they already got.

My dad has done work for Disney and the way he looks at it. You’re getting your money’s worth for Disney. If you go to Six Flags Magic Mountain you’ll see all the paint is all chipped and not refurbished. Disney refurbishes there stuff every couple of weeks. Six Flags only refurbishes it whenever they want to.

It’s dead to you guys because your letting it die 😂 us fans who still like Disney are not letting it die

Current dystopia. We're living in a dystopia.

@@half9o Watch less news. You'll feel better.

Honestly, the soullessness in their perfectly formatted sales pitch is terrifying.

Disney is becoming the real life Buy N' Large from WALL-E. It is incredibly ironic honestly.

You got the metaverse too from facebook feels so.. hollow.

Only if we are lucky.

They tried this over 20 years ago and it failed.

@@songohan3321 Really? Where can I read more about this?

It's so exciting to watch it flop!!

Oh, come now. Did you not SEE the appropriately ethnic (but not TOO ethnic), blissfully happy Maid? -> 1:04

Cosmic Rewind over at Epcot is opening first before Tron.

The Disney Company- "write that down, write that down!!"

They will 100% charge you for parking

When visiting a loved one, don't forget to edit through the gift shop

While Josh was talking about all the things you could do in the community it actually said at the bottom additional fee required 😅

You don’t even need genie + to ride the rides lol just do stand by

Why does that wanna make me live there even more?

And then they will erase the memories of everyone who lives there and convince them that the rest of humanity is extinct and the outside world is overrun by giant man eating animatronics called the Tita- oh wait......

15 minute city...Disney style..

Hey, I’m a Disney shareholder/fan. Let me say, every time they make an announcement like this, their stock drops. They need to realize their company became big because they appealed to EVERYBODY, not just the rich. Genie Plus is awful, and this looks really dumb. Decision after decision to boost their net revenue and in the long term it WON’T WORK. The problem is that they don’t realize how time dead they are becoming. Walt would be disappointed. I hope they replace the executives responsible for these terrible and short-sighted decisions.

Do you think 🧐 It would be more popular if every room was themed like the MineTrainSuite or the JungleCruiseSuite over at Disneyland

disney is such a crappy company, it's not worthy of a capital letter. Eschew disney like a bad case of yeast.

That's what it's always been about. You're talking about company here. The profit motive is the only motive under capitalism.

Update: starcruiser is now closing cause nobody could afford it. Who would of known!

Celebration didn't work mostly because if people live in a town, the legally get a say in how it's managed, and if the town is part of the park, they get a say in the management of the park. That's why WDW no longer has any permanent residents

That's awful

How long did they keep them?

I sympathise with the animal. If it is barking, it's likely lonely or neglected or at the least has been poorly trained by its master. THAT'S on the owner. I intensely dislike irresponsible, lazy and undisciplined dog owners, having lived in apartments most of my short adult life and have dealt with idiots whose dogs bark non-stop, lung at fellow tenants or are just TOO BIG, too numerous, or again, too aggressive for apartment living. That being said, what kind of agreement would you have to sign that allows theft-removal of nuisances? "Hey, that dog at that house over there is barking. Let's take him without the owner's express approval now because he or she signed some legally dubious agreement when they moved in." It seems to me that you ought not to be able to legally require anyone to sign off on approval of such chicaneries nor can you legally give approval for the same? HOA means HomeOwner's Association, right? I thought the whole point of owning a home in The States was that within the limits of the law, you were "King-or Queen-of your Castle"? Serious question, I'm French and have lived in apartments mostly, though I grew up in my parents' house, and tenants' rights are pretty strong over here. Just because you sign the HOA Agreement, just "disappearing" the dog doesn't seem right. Can they put in a clause that says they'll break into your house when you go on vacation and live there while you're gone? "It's in the HOA Agreement!"

@June Bug he lying

The rich is killing regular people with real estate. A war is coming when they start to come for our basic needs . I’m sick of this evil world. Why can’t these people just be satisfied with their billions they already got.

@@ronjon8322 the final version of this 'entertain the rich' is them watching us fight to the death over water in about 40 years. Why do you think all the smart money is buying up water companies?

This💙

so you dont live in santa monica

Disney is an evil mega corporation. Profits over people.

I agree

I'd rather them put more money into the parks as well

You think this corporation cares about you? Lol.

@@beerdragon4583 They do but only if you are throwing wads of cash at them and keeping your mouth shut.

Repainting happens every 5 years

You can if you buy a “day pass” 😂😂

Lightning lane is for rich people? It’s like $20 and under

Basically, all modern Disney cares about are their whales.

@@ZEKROM7685 over a 100 dollar ticket + parking or hotel or trasport (that now is not included)

@@donquixote2072 Whales have longer lives than humans (big money versus middle money) but they still die, this is another of Disneys short term cash grabs under a CEO who doesn’t likely care about twenty years from now. Just ask Starwars fans…

Not really 1984ish, more Blade Runner esque or Judge Dread

Or for that matter, *18*84-esque. It smacks of the mining company towns of the 19th-century --which is funny, because that was what detractors (unfairly, I say) criticized the original EPCOT for.

If we're going to compare with fiction, at this point Disney's fixation on the 1% more closely resembles Elysium. At some point, they will totally build a space station for the sole purposes of price/crowd control.

@@FLABrowncoat scary stuff.

i think he tries, but he's just doing what he's told 🤷‍♀

Josh is good looking so people forgive him easily 😁. You should have seen the women wearing shirts with Josh's face on it during the 50th anniversary kickoff.

No He is Iger 2.0 Either way...

This guy is not CEO. His boss is telling everyone below him what to do. There’s no creative executive in charge anymore, just a former Heinz accountant. Imagine thinking Josh has any say or control whatsoever. He’s gotta be on his best behavior or he’ll be tossed out the door.

@@ronaldmcdonald4757 You do know that Josh is the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, right? He’s not some intern that brings Chapek his coffee 🤦🏻‍♂️

I can agree with 75-80% of what you said. I think a more plausible -- but absolutely not a more morally sound -- motive is the devaluation of fiat currency. We've been slowly building up to this since we broke from the gold standard and began the inflation spiral. It's only natural for corporations both here and abroad to rush to park their funds in something that won't lose it's value as rapidly as the USD, like real estate. That's why making an offer on an ordinary house in Canada is inevitably beaten out by Chinese investors. It's still really scummy, of course, but it makes sense.

@@FLABrowncoat Very, Very True.

Probably another huge price tag pricing out most middle class. Disney is no longer in sync with most Americans. Parks are in need of fixing networks, WiFi, rides, higher more staff, improve customer service and restore the restaurants, entertainment, and services cut. We all notice it. People may try coming once for the Anniversary but many are jumping ship to Universal. Fix what is broken in the current world of Disney, including issues with Websites, DVC Member Services etc…. Disney customer service is lacking. We have high expectations of Disney Customer service due to past experiences and Disney is failing miserably. The cash grabs are not helping your situation. I have made many trips over the years often times with large groups. We can’t do that anymore due to the high price points.

I agree, but this is definitely not the first private city owned by a company there have been several before now

@@moukidelmar I completely agree, however I sense that with Disney doing this will bring this to light to many more people.

I bet they will build a basic version of the first one. Enough to get people to start moving in. It will then crash and burn and never reach what they are promising and no new developments will ever start.

Not crashed yet, maybe 2 more years?

The difference with this new project is they're focus on a specific age group and mostly wealthy.

It’s different it seems they are licensing the Disney name for Money and some guy is doing the development. Don’t know if that’s better !

Im pretty sure it would fund the world.

Walt had this idea already, it was called EPCOT

Disney literally would've wanted this.

This was Disney’s idea, being in the illuminati and all.

Millionaire isn't good enough. You got to have 100 million to be able to afford such a thing. Otherwise, the HOA fees alone will kill you.

Plebs already have 5 Disneylands and 6 other parks yet continue to hate

once they build the florida version of this town the poor can move to the undeveloped swamp land next to it and call it Shrekland or something

@@mahzsom1 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

And there will be upsells. You’ll have to buy passes to go anywhere. It’s the new Disney scam

Does this mean our southern border will finally be secure??? Or is this going to be another stop along the way for illegals

@@TJ-Travler wait... What??

Not to Mention their HOA fees yikes!!

Ya think? They're not developing these communities for cast members or the middle class. It's for the rich only.

As a stockholder, it IS a better idea

@@drookard1525 I'm not a stock holder. Short term your right there would be no advantage for you. Long term though is where this would be great way to reduce turnover. Imagine your going to quit your job. Now you would have to take into consideration moving and all the expenses that go with that to a new location that if done right would cost more. It doesn't have to be a fancy place just a cheap place to call home. An apartment building for new employees. After a certain time of employment you could buy into 55+ style community. All in Anaheim CA and Lake Buena Vista FL. I get it that Disney is a corporation not a charity. As I said earlier I'm not a stock holder so I don't know what the turnover rate for employees at Disney is. If it's low than I will take back what I said about this being a better idea. But overall this would be a great way to reduce turnover and if done right long term it wouldn't cost anything extra

That would be a horrible idea. It would mean that your boss wouldn't just be able to fire you on a whim, they could evict you in the same stroke. Good luck finding a new job while not having a place to live.

i love how all the other people that replied to this comment don't realize that this is a joke

Or a better idea, shut down because you guys are running out of ideas and losing money

Coming from a cast member. They don't really care. They see us machines and money. I think they can get better. But I'm slowly losing hope. They will not however go out of business. With the MCU being big. But I could be wrong.

The homeless will be kept out by the Mouseketeers, ofc.

@@luvdisneyv I’m sorry you’re going through that. The fact how cast members are living in their cars and Disney is making neighborhoods for elderly(and possibly kids judging by this) is absolutely sickening.

Yes say it again bc its hard to afford Disneyland now.

Sounds fairly likely.

They mentioned "addordable", so probably starting around $750K. That would be to live around the outer edges. If you want to live anywhere near the water, plan on $1M+.

I do agree with you. When you look at the attention to detail put into each park at Walt Disney World including the cultural and environmental influences, this seems very out of touch.

This is the comment I was looking for!

They also recently completed Golden Oaks. I don''t understand why they are now advertising this as if its something new for them?

Everything has been fixed. The town is magical.

It’s a poor choice on Disney’s part. But I think we all know that.

It wasn't that it didn't work out, it's just that residents of Reedy Creek Improvement District would get a vote. If they got a vote, they could interfere with the operation of the rest of the property.

Thinking HOA on steroids

I came back to this vid after watching it!!

Only finally i am not only one thinking it.

In California too

I don’t think Walt’s vision for EPCOT was $10 million homes.

The rich is killing regular people with real estate. A war is coming when they start to come for our basic needs . I’m sick of this evil world. Why can’t these people just be satisfied with their billions they already got.

Making it the prefect place to build $1.5M homes 😍

I grew up in the Coachella Valley. It has become such an overpriced rich dystopian area that I'm convinced it's main goal is to push out the poor people. I hate what that place has become.

I don't think Josh even knows how hot it gets in the desert any time past the White Party weekend into Summer!

1:37 talks about 55+ communities

Disney is in the business of making money, not giving people affordable housing. Since it's in the middle of nowhere, they can make them as expensive as they want. They are not required to make any of it "affordable".

Thanks, Mark. I was thinking the same thing. These kinds of "communities" cater to the elite. We need solutions for the masses, not more gated housing for the rich.

Why would a company on their own volition use a lottery system when that implies they could simply raise prices

@@zeroeffortmemes My mention of "lottery" has nothing to with the price; just an example of how to choose from the inevitable demand over supply. You can use the lesson WDW just learned with "Figment-gate" as an example. Seeing the overwhelming demand - and abuse by scalpers - Disney is using their app and mobile ordering, combined with per-person limits, to more fairly distribute a limited product with greater demand without raising prices. It can be done. A "lottery" system isn't the only option. Thanks for the feedback! 🙂

@@marklodi99 selling tickets and homes are not the same. No reason to use a lottery system when there are people willing to pay over asking price.

@@zeroeffortmemes Sigh... You're obviously missing the point, but it's all good sir. Have a great day. 🙂

I know the area where it's being built because my husband works in Rancho mirage. It's a massive 'blank' spot with very, very few shrubs. Mainly nothing but sand. Pretty barren.

Walt dreamed big and look where his company has came to, not willing to dream past money

I doubt it

I wanna be the new CEO And i want to green light a new theme park that brings back old attractions that people remember from the past I call it Disney’s nostalgia kingdom

@@skunkman9815 sounds great! I think Disney just is lacking emotion, story and meaning throughout all its rides and parks. It should all be redone so that three is more money going into theme parks and bring back the Disney we know and love before it’s ruined due to its greed for money

Walt's vision for EPCOT was to have cutting edge technology in all the homes, which would be provided free of charge by the companies that made them since the residents would act as focus groups and guinea pigs. It was a completely untenable idea

@@moukidelmar Still didn't include homes and services targeted at the rich. My comment stands.

Walt cared about everyone. Disney company today only cares about the rich.

Golden Oak is technically not on Disney property, it's just over the line. The only things on Disney property that aren't Disney are the Swan, Dolphin, and Reflections (not sure if that's the name, but the new one right next to the Swan), which are leased to a seperate company

@@timetraveler9218 sadly I agree. That started when the grandkids left.

@@moukidelmar I thought Disney built a neighborhood. Maybe I’m mistaken

@@moukidelmar uh yes it is on property. Disney owns a lot of land. If you think I'm wrong do a simple Google search and it show you that it is in fact on Disney property

Someone commented “like the government”, but I think it was deleted somehow. Let me answer anyway. No, not like the government. I never made mention of that at all. Like a DESIGN FIRM is what I was saying. There have been books written on how Disney is probably the best at designing spaces made for people (and moving people).

@@brianscott9749 I think that's only going to happen if a person from a lower or middle class was put in the CEO spot. Otherwise? They don't care. That stings. I love Disney. But I'm not blind

Would be preferable. Although, Disney would never do this. Not at the moment that is. A shame.

Yes kind of. They built a city called Celebration. But running a city vs a neighborhood has different legal responsibilities. They abandoned Celebration because they didn’t feel like Disney should be involved in the politics of running the city.

@@jadonproductions I see. Thank you for the clarification.

No, it is more like Disney's Golden Oak community at WDW

yeah, you don't know what a company town is. a company town is built for workers, this isn't built for workers. why are people acting like integrated resort communities are new?

THOSE are your concerns?

Yes, those are some of my concerns. If you have others, you’re free to share them.

While suburban in character, it will probably be less car-centric than any suburban community. It will have more nature, and probably more pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. Also not everything should be a dense hellhole like NYC or boring and grayish like Amsterdam. At most, maybe some mixed development in a downtown area.

I mean, as long as it's totes cute. And has a lot of night life, clubs, bars, etc., and like, plenty of exclusive boutiques. Seriously though, what you said but to add to that that they should provide some quality options for Disney employees. And if the employee doesn't make enough working at Disney to afford said Disney accommodations-even the "economy" Disney accommodations-perhaps fix that first.

I agree that it's not necessary for everything to be as dense as NYC. There is room for different kinds of urbanism. However, I find it hilarious that you describe NYC as a "hellhole." I live in Manhattan. In my opinion, it's a beautiful and exciting place to live. I'm happy that it exists. If you don't like it, nobody's forcing you to live here. But it's definitely not a "hellhole."

Exactly

I thought the same thing! And can you imagine the costs of living there? The HOA fees alone to keep all this going will be astronomical!

Disney no longer controls Celebration.

This will be in California though. As if California is already expensive.😁

These aren't going to be their own cities, more like deluxe subdivisions.
