Disney's Ultra-Exclusive Community: A Fairy Tale Come True
Cristie Anne's family found a way to make every day feel like a fairy tale by owning a storybook-inspired home within the gates of Walt Disney World.
The gated enclave, designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, is composed of individually designed luxury homes, including Cristie Anne's cottage, which takes its cues from Belle's provincial home in the live-action 'Beauty and the Beast.'
The family's Golden Oak cottage was inspired by Belle's home in the film. Exposed wood beams and rustic finishes continue the fairy-tale aesthetic inside the home.
Cristie Anne's parents purchased the four-bedroom, 3,600-square-foot cottage in 2020 for an undisclosed sum. They were initially searching for a family beach house but fell in love with the Disney cottage after touring it via FaceTime with their children.
