They have Disney World, Disney Cruise, Why Not Disney Island?

Man...they sure do have a lot of money.  I guess when you charge almost $200 a ticket these days, you would right?

Just read this on MSN.com  that Disney is now buying a private island.

Now you can vacation with Mickey on a private island.   It's known as Lighthouse Point, the 751-acre resort expected to open in late 2022 or early 2023, and will be on the island of Eleuthera.

Plans show bungalow-style suites, palm trees, trails for exploring, and long stretches of white sandy beaches.   The cost of opening the resort, including land purchase and construction, could fall between $250 million to $400 million.

This is Disney's second island resort. The first, Castaway Cay, opened in 1998.

I wonder how much that will cost a family?

Here is the video for Cataway Cay:
