Living

**NOTE: If/when you are accepted, there is a two week period in which you must either decline or accept the invitation to come to Disney, and you must submit a $75 dollar fee within those two weeks as well, if you plan to accept. The fee is broken down into three parts: $50 for the Program Assessment fee, $23 for the Activities fee, and $2 for a service charge.

There are three apartment complexes, and you can choose One-to-four bedroom apartments.
Each room has two people living in them. So in other words, say you have a one bedroom apartment, there will be two people living in that apartment. If you have a four bedroom, there will be eight people. There is a weekly deduction of about $73-92 dollars to pay for your apartment and the amenities that are included there-with. Ultimately it is cheaper to have more room mates.

So amenities include:

• Fully furnished apartment
• Kitchen utensils and appliances
• Local phone service and one central phone
• Maintenance, including pest control
• All utilities, including water, electricity and waste disposal
• Computer-lab access
• High-speed Internet access in all apartments
• Fitness centers
• Basketball, volleyball and racquetball courts
• Laundry facilities
• Pools and hot tubs
• 24-hour security
• Cable hook up
  

Okay, so I'm going to go through and try to give as much information as possible. Of course when I get there, I can post pictures, and maybe video!


Fully Furnished apartment: This basically means couch, bed, and I don't know what else. You supply your own linen (bedding, towels, ect).

Kitchen Utensils and Appliances: There is a fully furnished kitchen with dishes, silverware, dishwasher, refrigerator, and such. You supply your own food.

The apartments are separated into wellness and non-wellness. All participants are separated into these apartments by age. The wellness apartments are for participants 21 and younger (you can assume why). All apartments are non-smoking.

You are allowed to pick your own suite mate if you and your friend apply for the same program season, and you schedule to arrive at the same time. But even then you might not have the same bedroom. When you arrive you check in between 9AM and 1PM you are given your room assignment and you pick your room. Now say you have a four bedroom apartment, and four people have already arrive, each taking one of the bedrooms. You and your friend would have the same apartment but not the same room. Make sense? I certainly hope so… if not, let me know. You become pre-matched with your room mates by signing up for a Roommate Notification once you receive you invitation to join the program and you get your log-in information.

The apartments are distributed my the following guidelines:

• Arrival and departure dates
• Work location
• Gender
• Age
• Program Season
  

You are welcome to bring a car. There is a shuttle to take you anywhere on Disney property, to the local mall, to the grocery store, and to the post office. But many people (including me) want their car. The parking is free.


NO PETS ALLOWED!

Be sure to bring proper forms of identifications to show that you are who you say you are and proof that you are eligible to work.

Visitation is a tad strict, but it is realy safe. No one under 18 years of age are permited in the apartment. Visitors must leave by midnight and are allowed back in at 9AM I believe.
