A peaceful Sunday at Disney’s most exclusive residential community was disrupted when authorities responded to a report of criminal mischief. The incident at Disney Golden Oak—where multimillion-dollar homes sit less than four miles from Magic Kingdom Park—was an unexpected disturbance in the meticulously designed neighborhood reserved for Disney’s wealthiest fans.

Details about the incident remain scarce. Authorities haven’t disclosed whether the alleged criminal mischief occurred inside a resident’s home, at the community clubhouse, or elsewhere within Disney Golden Oak. Emergency scanners track calls to centralized addresses at Walt Disney World Resort rather than pinpointing exact locations, leaving the specific site of the incident unknown.
Local law enforcement hasn’t released additional information about what happened Sunday or whether any arrests were made.
Living the Disney Dream at Golden Oak
For those who can afford it, Disney Golden Oak is the ultimate Disney Parks lifestyle. Walt Disney Imagineers design each home in the exclusive community, which Golden Oak Realty markets as “resort-style” living.
Purchasing a home in Disney Golden Oak unlocks extraordinary perks beyond standard homeownership. Residents receive private transportation to Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. The community provides Disney concierges, hosts exclusive events, and offers round-the-clock security. Homeowners also enjoy lifetime access to all benefits typically reserved for guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels.
These luxuries command premium pricing. Properties in Disney Golden Oak range from approximately $5 million to $10 million. Buyers then face tens of thousands of dollars in annual HOA fees, plus mandatory membership to the Golden Oak Club.
