I'd Rather Be in Golden Oak Florida: An Overview and Tour of Walt Disney World's New Residential and Resort Community


Book Description

Have you ever visited Walt Disney World? Have you ever wondered what it is like to live there? This book is about Golden Oak, Florida, which is a residential and resort community within the property of Walt Disney World. The book has two parts: the first part is a description of what Golden Oak is, and the author's experience (including both the author's stay at the Four Seasons Orlando on opening day, and the author's tour of the residential development) there. The second part is a photographic (there are 130 images of the homes in the book) and descriptive tour of the residential community of Golden Oak.This book is continuously updated by the author as Golden Oak evolves; as new homes are built, new images (and descriptions of those images) are placed in the book. As the Golden Oak community progresses, those events are described in the book. As the author learns more about Golden Oak, that information is added to the book.One of the newest updates is the addition of the names of the residences in all of the neighborhoods. For example, in the Kimball Trace neighborhood, the name of the residence of Lot 20 is Casa Felice, the name of the residence of Lot 21 is Bella Vita, etc. Furthermore, the translation of these names are added as well; for example, Casa Felice means "happy home'" in Italian, Bella Vita means "good life" in Italian, etc. Another update is the names and meanings of the Marceline, Kingswell, Silverbrook, Carolwood, and Four Seasons Private Residences neighborhood homes are being added. The images of homes are being added to the Four Seasons Private Residences chapter, and the builders corresponding to all homes are being updated.An addition to the book is that interesting facts about each home are being added. For example, a significant number of the homes have bedrooms that are themed in the manner of Disney characters, movies, etc. Because each home has a unique architectural style, each style being explained in the book is in progress.The newest neighborhood, Symphony Grove, has been added in a new chapter in the book.

Secrets of the Oak Woodlands


Book Description

A Californian may vacation in Yosemite, Big Sur, or Death Valley, but many of us come home to an oak woodland. Yet, while common, oak woodlands are anything but ordinary. In a book rich in illustration and suffused with wonder, author Kate Marianchild combines extensive research and years of personal experience to explore some of the marvelous plants and animals that the oak woodlands nurture. Acorn woodpeckers unite in marriages of up to ten mates and raise their young cooperatively. Ground squirrels roll in rattlesnake skins to hide their scent from hungry snakes. Manzanita's rust-colored, paper-thin bark peels away in time for the summer solstice, exposing sinuous contours that are cool to the touch even on the hottest day. Conveying up-to-the-minute scientific findings with a storyteller's skill, Marianchild introduces us to a host of remarkable creatures in a world close by, a world that "rustles, hums, and sings with the sounds of wild things."
