    Default $10 Million or WDW?

    If somebody offered you $10 million dollars but you couldn't ever visit WDW or any other Disney theme park again for the rest of your life!

    I'd have to take the $10 million, but my days would probably be filled with sadness knowing I would never get back to the happiest place on earth again!

    Sorry Moderators! I just figured out how to make a poll, I think. Feel free to delete the other post.

    My life experiences are worth more than money. Not that I couldn't use the money, but it would make me heartsick to not go back to WDW. I choose WDW.

    I'd take the money. Lots of bills to pay off. Then I could vacation anywhere else in the world.

    It is a tough thing to agree not to go to WDW, but $10million would mean probably never working again and there are millions of places around the world to visit. I'd owe it to my kids to take the money, assuming that the ban only applied to me, perhaps someday they could go with their families.

    What good is money if you can't got to WDW? I dont know about the rest of you, but I work hard so that I can have enough money to go to WDW every other year. It makes work worth doing when it had such noble ends.

    I'm taking WDW. What's the use of having the money when I can't enjoy it.

    Now how about 5 millon AND I can go to WDW!

    It'd be Disney for me too. I couldn't imagine a world without Disney World. I'd probably go insane.

    Can't really answer this. Right now, WDW is the stress relief for my working life. $10M would allow me to quit my job, so no stress. BUT, I really don't think I could live without the magic, now that I've found it.

    Split the difference - $5M AND WDW once per year and I''l be in 'hog heaven.'

    I would love to have ten million dollars! But, I don't. I am still perfectly happy. I have a great life. And, I go to WDW yearly. This trip (or trips) is the high light of our year (usually). I don't think any amount of money could buy the memories we have made at WDW or will make in the future!

    Hands down, I would pick WDW, I didn't even have to think about that one. Could we use the money? Absolutely! But I couldn't even imagine not being able to plan and go to WDW, even if it were only every 5 yrs! Now my DH wouldn't think twice about the money. As a matter of fact, he said he was tired of WDW, and he hadn't been there in 4 yrs! I just don't get it!

    10 mil won't buy much of an attraction, those things are very expensive!

    I'd have to say I would take the money and let my parents take my girls to WDW.

    As much as I love WDW, I think I'd have to take the $10 million (assuming it's tax-free!)

    $10 million would be great BUT . . . . . . . . . .
    what happens to the DVC membership - that would all go down the tubes. I guess I could pay it off for the family but never being at WDW with or without the family - I COULDN'T DO IT!

    SHOW ME THE MONEY!!1

    I'd take a cool ten million, any day. That would absolutely change not only my life, but it would change my daughter, and possbly even my future grandchildren and great grandchldren's lives.

    With 10 million, I could easily pay off all debts, live in a paid off house, and invest $1 million to live off. I could easily live off the interest on $1 million year after year, never touching the princpal.

    Say it took another million to pay off all my debts, which it wouldn't, but that leaves another $8 million to invest and grow. If I left that $8 million alone, didn't add to it, at the end of 30 years I've got over $150 million.

    I'd say I could live comfortably for the rest of my life and leave a very vast inheritance to my daughter for that.

    And hey, I could vacation in Hawaii or the Carribean any time - hopefully my daughter could stlll go to Disney.

    Well, I answered this once when it was still on page 1, but must have not hit "submit".

    We love Disney, and look forward to our Dec. trips, BUT, $10 million would feed, house, treat, and educate an awful lot of children in third world countries.

    I'd give up any future vacations and give the $$ to a charity. There are several terrific ones out there.
