Right now we already have decided that we will need:

• TV
• Iron/ironing board
• DVD player
• Coffee Maker
• Wireless Router

WE need some help, haha...

Also, how did you split costs of items with your roommates? And did one roommate take an item when you left or did you sell those items? Sorry for all the questions!

Oh wow!

I feel like everyday I'm hit with this bomb (a good bomb, mind you!) that I am going to be living in Florida and working for WDW! I'm sooo excited! I cannot wait to have all these new experiences! And while I know there will be some difficult moments and long hours, it'll all be completely worth it!
And even though I've seen Cinderella's Castle too many times to count, I know that even when I'm a CP and I see the castle AT LEAST once a week, this'll always be my expression.

Roommate Survey!

Alrighty I posted my roommate survey up onto my tumblr, so just click here  if you'd like to see it!

By the way...

I made this blog on tumblr as well! So if you prefer tumblr, click here! It'll basically be the same blog, just different formats!

Roommates!

So I thought I should go over my personal 'Finding a Roommate' experience! Basically what a lot of people have been doing is posting roommates survey's on the fb (facebook) group, so I did the same! I got responses and found two great girls!

 

Now we are looking for 3 more! I will say this about the whole roommate survey thing. A lot of people may comment saying something like, "OMG!!!!!! We have sooo much in common I love this and this too"! Then you think awesome! I found someone who is like me. Then you look at their survey and you think yeah we do have two things in common, but nothing else... So beware! Make sure you look at their survey as well!
Just some info on the whole roommate situation. If you find roommates ahead of time* you will need to make sure you all arrive on the same day. I found one of the sweetest girls ever, but she checked in a day before my roommates and I. She tried to change her date but it was already full :(. So don't get your hopes up until you know that they have the same arrival date and preferences for building, # of roommates, (non)wellness, etc., as you do. Also on the arrival day you need to stand by all of your roommates when you are checking in! Then they will take you by each pair (make sure that it's by room pairings) and everyone needs to say that you want to live together in the same building/room type! If not, you may only end up with your one roommate instead of all the others. Anyways that's all I can think of to say right now! I'll let y'all know if something new and exciting happens!

*You do not have to pick your roommates beforehand!!! That is completely up to you! A lot of people have said they just arrived and got randomly placed and loved the turnout! So don't worry if you don't have/find a roommate.

Finding Roommates...

Right now, I'm having a bit of a moment. It's extremely ridiculous, but oh well! I have decided my dates for when I will be participating in the DCP, and now I need to find a roommate (queue dramatic horror movie music)!
There should be absolutely no reason for my freak-out as I only got accepted yesterday. However, it seems as though everyone on facebook is connecting with different people, and I'm over here in my little corner like...

But it is only the first day and it'll all work out, hopefully... ;)

Deciding Dates

Right now I am trying to decide the dates that I will be participating in the program. Its all pretty cut and dry, but I want to make sure that I have a date that works best for me! There are so many elements in picking dates! There is the: cost of airline tickets, making sure that you find someone you like (roommate wise) and shares the same check-in date as you, availability of room combo's at the apartment complexes, and just making sure I am comfortable with the overall dates! Well I have a couple of days to decide, so now it's just research and waiting.

Revision: It's official! I will be arriving January 8th, 2013 and leaving May 31! I am so excited!
