I can't understand why I have no interest in one of these. Even after spending an entire week in Disney World, I still don't desire to possess one. :-) I just spent about the same sum on a Conchess Ambassador on eBay, and that seems to be more satisfying to me. I must have missed the one that sold for "practically nothing" as that price seems about right for the Magic Castle. I certainly did enjoy Disney World, though.
