Left partially unfinished, the resort-like mansion is headed to auction on Friday with starting bids expected up to $8 million.

Your kids can eat for free at Florida's Walt Disney World next year—here's how
Miami's full of amazing museums, parks and playgrounds at which to entertain your kids, but if you're looking for an extra magical experience for the youngins, you can't beat a trip to Walt Disney World. And next time you decide to take that quick (er, four-hour) jaunt up to Orlando for a Disney-fied day, your kids might just be able to eat for free, based on new dining plans that the Orlando resort is rolling out next year. Yes, beginning next year, visitors to Walt Disney World will be able to get a free dining plan for kids ages 3 to 9 years old when they purchase a Walt Disney Travel Company package for you and your children that includes a room at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel and a dining plan for each Guest ages 10 and up. That means if you're a couple with two kids under ten, you'll only have to cover the parents' meals and snacks. There's an option of two different dining plans as part of the kid-friendly deal: the Disney Dining Plan and the Quick-Service Dining Plan. The former spans both Quick-Service and Table-Service restaurants—including character dining locations—and includes one Quick-Service Meal per night, one Table-Service Meal per night, one snack or nonalcoholic beverage per night and a refillable resort drink mug. The latter is a more fast and easy option for on-the-go families: think two Quick-Service meals per night, one snack or nonalcoholic beverage per night and the refillable resort mug. Interested in taking advantage of the free dining deal? You can book your 2026 Disney vacation on Disney World's official website —and as with most things Disney-related, reservations need to be made in advance for most restaurants throughout the theme park. A full day of Disney fun plus a whole lot of free food? That should keep the kiddos properly tuckered out during that post-park drive back to Miami.
