You can do one of two things: select a roomate yourself (either through the roomate notification system, or on your own), or wait until you arrive and get a random roomate

So, if you know who you want to room with, how do you go about getting them in your room? Because there are 6 of us, though potentially 8, that want to room together, but we were under the impression that we wouldn't be able to request each other until we got there. So how do we go about requesting each other before we get there?

You can choose one person (your actual roommate in your room with you) but your best bet if you have a group that you want to room with is to literally stand in line together at check-in.

So I'm guessing if you put in a request ahead of time for your actual roommate, they have to arrive on the same day as you? If the person I am hoping to room with has not even had her phone interview yet, therefore she won't be choosing a move-in day for a while, would I be able to change my move-in day if she can't get the same one as me?

Read these articles about roommate matching
https://disneyprogramsblog.com/?s=roommate+matching Yes. You can change your check in day. Prob a cap on number of times, though. |

I'm really nervous to have roommates. Do you guys know which is the best place to live in?

Also the bus apparently picks up right in front of Chatham and you have to walk to Chatham if you live in a different one to catch a bus I think... |

Oh definitely! If you go on youtube and search for Chatham Square, or any of the DCP apartments, you can see some tours people have given, and they're not too small!! Bigger than my dorm now, anyways... (Although I do have my own bedroom here)

I found all my roommates through Facebook! There are TONS of groups on there for the DCP - groups by arrival date, role, application status, park, etc. etc. etc...
It's an easy way to find potential roomies, as well as just friends
