[Joanna71985]

Any idea if we can ship our stuff down to the Disney houses ahead of arrival? If so, does anybody know the address for the Chatham mail room?

Thanks!

No unfortunately

No.

If you aren't a registered resident in their system when a package arrives, Price Management (the Operating Participant which operates Florida-Site DI&P Housing) will have it Returned to Sender or will dispose of it.

Hi, I have a question. Do we get a Florida resident discount to Universal if we have our DCP ID? I've heard that we do, but then someone else said that might not be true.

On occasion, Universal Orlando Resort Team Members will accept WDW Cast IDs as Proof of Florida Residency for discounts and the like. However, they're not supposed to, and it's sorta a "wink and a nod" thing. As such, you can't always count on it happening.

Alright. I've got a quick question.

I know the College Program main gate pass can get 3 people in up to 6 times during their program. How about the Career Start program? Is it the same thing, or....is it like 3 people - up to 4 times during the program?

Whoever answers this. Thanks in advance.

All Florida-Site Disney Internships and Programs Participants receive the same type of Blue Main Entrance Pass: 6 entries per calendar each year for up to 3 people each time.

Oh, ok. I thought so. Thank you.

You would stay longer I'm not sure of the months but for fall advantage some people got there as early as may and are staying until January unlike the rest of us who go in the fall and stay until then.

I don't think we all need Tony Chachere's though... I had to look that up, I had no idea what it was - Creole seasoning? Hahaha.

Its a all purpose seasoning. The person must be from Louisiana.

Keep in mind unless you have friends that dont have cell phones you wont use your house phone that much. I dont even think you could undo the phone on the wall. I wouldnt bring a coordless phone.

Tupper ware is something everyone forgets! But I would buy that when you get here.

i've heard that some people also buy plastic utensils and paper plates for the apartments..i guess my question is do we need to maybe buy those things?

because i thought i read on the college program site that they have plates, bowls, etc for us we just have to provide like the dishwashing soap

 

[ihearrtsushi]

Also add a wireless router and cordless phone if you need either of them.

So wait, the complexes don't have wireless internet already?

Nope you and your room mates have to have a router...they are wireless "ready" but not wireless

CP Housing does contain utensils and stuff. However, using disposable paper/plastic is probably a way to avoid the issues of someone not cleaning up after themself or loading/unloading the dishwasher.

Not very green, though.

ohh gotcha thank you for clearing that up :]
