starting the CRP in December for the Germany Pavilion and I am watching vlogs in preparation and distraction so I won‘t get the urge to start packing now 😋 Which Hotel did you stay at before moving into FCV? And any tips on what should be done before move in day (like US Phone Number, does shopping for some stuff make sense before?)
how was the weather ? im going near the end of november.
It was fine! A jacket was needed for the evenings. Quite overcast. It’s not hot by any measure but it wasn’t freezing! It was like jeans and light jacket
When in November did you go??
Would be interested to know how a Brit on the program sorts out Bank account, mobile SIM card etc
Hi! Disney sort a bank card for us, but I went to Partners Federal Credit Union which is a bank with Disney and set up a proper account with them. I then just ordered a sim online to be delivered to me and put it in and paid monthly to have data etc out there.
@@StephensJournal great, very helpful - did you take cash out there to cover your first couple of weeks or rely on your UK cards?
@@dennishajdukiewicz7851 I used a Revolut card! And some cash
my fiance and I are doing the program and may and requested a 2x2 were terrified were gonna be on opposite sides of the apartment.
Great vlog, I’ve laughed so much😊
Do they have a printer i can use?
Hello there my name is angelina and I just applied for the dcp program and still waiting for phone interview. But I just wanted to know how did u get the 4x2? I heard the ppl who has a disability most likely get more. I don't know if I have a disability or not but just wanted to know I really want 4x2 or 4x4
Do u bring ur own pillows and quilt or they prepare them for u?
You can bring them. None are provided. I went to Walmart and bought all my bedding
This campus looks awesome. I'm not sure why some people say it isn't worth the money, that gym alone has better equipment than the one I pay $150+ a year for. I can't wait to start my CP in January.
Great video! Lot’s of great information. Just to be clear it is shared accommodation right?
Thank you! All accommodation holds 4 people. But you can either share a bedroom, or have your own bedroom shared bathroom with 1 other, or own bedroom and bathroom (based on availability). But regardless, all apartments will have 4 occupants.
@@StephensJournal thats great info thanks
Great video, loved the way you decorated the room too! Club Level there looks amazing. You guys party in style!
Cool ❤
Hi! Thank you so so much for your video! I'm doing Spring advantage 2024 and this video helped me so much. It was the best and most detailed tour I've seen! I have 2 questions for you, how far are East and West from each other? It's hard for me to understand lol. Second, how did you guys deal with the horrible Florida water? Water bottles or a Brita or something? Thanks so much again!
Aw thank you so much Olivia and congrats on Spring Advantage! So East/West is about a 15 minute walk. It's like an L shape walk between the two, and all buses will run between the two as well. In the beginning, we bought Walgreen's multi-packs of water bottles like 12/24 packs, but then invested in a Brita that we kept in the fridge filled at all times!
males and females share the same units? wow
Yup! You can opt in to have mixed gender. I did, but ended up as 4 males in the apartment every time. But yes, mixed, if you choose so!
LOVE ale and compass for breakfast 😍
What exactly is Disney university? Is it just training or actual classes? And Is it required for everyone to participate?
Hi! Disney Univeristy is just utilised for some training classes. You may never even go on your program, if they schedule you it, it might just be one day of training where you just sit and listen, but sometimes they opt to have this class held at flamingo crossings housing instead. (Short answer: yes its just training!) there are some options throughout the year to enrole in a class (not like school. like 'learning the disney magic') that seems to be 1 class over 6-8 weeks. But thats optional!
Do you choose to do classes online when you’ve done the program ? Or did you take time off of school ? What is that process like ? Thanks in advance ❤
I was on the Cultural Representative Program, so I wasn't enrolled in school! If you search 'Disney College Program' you'll find much more relating to your question! :)
Another great video! I was so excited when I saw the new upload yesterday and saved it as something to watch and look forward to tonight. Your videos are always fun to watch and easy to relax to; they make you feel like you're there as well! Looking forward to the next one 😊🏰🌐
Aww yay thank you Mollie, I'm so glad to be back and getting some videos up!!
Do they give you a apt for rent?
yes! its called 'Flamingo Crossings Village' - i also have a video tour of the complex! rent comes out of your weekly pay every thursday :)
oh my gosh where did you get that little art print of your costume? its so cute i need one
search 'believersdreamersandyou' on instagram!! shes also from the UK, the artwork is amazing!
Did you request this type of room ?
You guys are so much fun! I booked club level for my birthday, which is how I came across your video. Thanks for posting this!
I love the raw footage
I'm so excited! My arrival date is in October!
Why is it so empty? Lol, I'd figure it would be more busy with all the great facilitates being used.
I was doing this during the day and a lot of people would have been at work, it does get busy! This was right at the start too before all the Cultural Representatives where invited back to the states, so now, a year on, it has doubled in occupancy!
The party stories I have from working there 😅😂😂
I was a framing superintendent on that job, east and West. Largest job we framed. It's nice to see the finished product...
You are not more at the Disney program ? Cause I would like to ask you after the program it’s finish how it’s the best option to find a apartment close to Disney if the cast member decide to work from Disney if you can please give me some tips thanks ❤❤❤
Brilliant trip guys!!!
fun- just subscribed!
Fantastic vlog!
The lady behind Sam dancing 😂 she is not impressed what so ever
Also I’m 18 and graduated and my buddy is is gonna graduate next year would we be able to get in the same room?
If you have the exact same arrival date, yes you can!
How much would rent cost?
Around $200 a week
@@Agonized_Soul is that good in budgeting? Considering only 30-40 hours?
@@HalfBIind it’s aight, considering you will be making at least 500 a week
Awesome video! I enjoyed every second of it and how detailed and thorough you were. Soo excited now to be there soon! :)
Another fab Vlog, I like the mix of content, talking and walking around the parks etc. We always go to Raglan every trip!
What a fab Christmas you guys had the food looked AMAZING!!! I love how tidy you all are too! I am sure Malcolm was blown away with that Villa compared to the VAN at the ROCK!!! Looking forward to the next video. J 🙂
Omg, love the video and this is soo well explained 😊 I will move there in 1 week 🥳 also got the same option as you and also at west, ready to begin my CRP ❤
Just applied for CRP a couple of days ago and now i’m sat watching all your videos and i’m obsessed! Loving seeing your journey and it’s so nice to see someone else from NI completing the programme!
Does the kitchen come with pots and pans etc??
Hello, thanks for sharing! Just a question: is it mandatory to live in the complex? or to live there full time? I am asking cause I have family in Orlando and could stay with them
Amazing housing! I applied for the food and beverage program and basically ready to book my flights. However I'm still uncertain whether starting my career instead. How is work and the atmosphere over there? Any feed back on that?
Club level looks so good. We’re now thinking to have a night club level on our next trip, thank for the insight!
I hope Disney compensated you for this video because it’s a great tour! Also, my home (US) was built in 1890 and sometimes it feels like I have three total outlets within a two-story house so all this technology/port/charging access is making me jealous, along with all the storage. And I like the Sally Generic brand shampoo in the shower - love a guy who knows quality at a good price haha
So men and women can be mixed in the same apartment?
I LOVED this!! Can't wait to dive into your vloggs!! I am an ex-ICP (Patterson Court) and thinking of applying for the year programme in Jan 23! The new accomodation looks AMAZE! Do they still have the free busses to take you to walmart and work etc? Hope you are all settled in and loving Disney Life!! X
I highly recommend you do!! It's been great so far, and the accommodation has really helped. I was Vista Way and Chatham Square last time, and the difference is insane! They do still have free buses to all parks/resorts and a Super Target now Sunday - Wednesday!
I really would like to do the representative program when I’m 18, this complex looks so cool. If you want to go to any parks during days off do you pay, or get discount or is it free?
Hi, you really should! Its free for all Disney Parks and Water Parks on your day off, and you get a certain amount of passes for Friends & Family to enter for free too!
Hi great video I'm asking for my son who is interested in something like this when he reaches the age we love going to disney world we have just got back from another amazing trip what sort of qualification are required to be accepted?
Hello! For the Cultural Representative Program, you do not need any qualifications. People are accepted from any background, with some doing this instead of university, or some doing it after, with a wide range of degrees. It is just recommended to have either Food & Beverage or Merchandise/Retail experience depending what role you apply for! (Other than that, you need to be a passport holder of the country you are applying for, with good written/spoken English).
@@StephensJournal that's fantastic thankyou when you say country your applying for would that be a passport from the United Kingdom.
Watching this after I just got my CRP offer for March and after doing 2 programs in Vista this has be so excited to not have to worry about old housing anymore 😅
I'm going to be part of the program January 9th! Is the gym usually empty? And are you sure its a 24hr gym?
It is indeed a 24/7 Gym. After a certain time of the evening you just have to scan your Flamingo Crossings card to enter the Community Centre, then everything in there (except the service desk) is 24 hour. (Vending machines, bathrooms, mail room, gym etc.). The gym is so big that usually seems quite empty, there is plenty of space for every thing!
