Ok. Before I moved to WDW for my first college program, I was very curious about the apartments. I wanted to know how big they were, what they looked like, how big the closets were and all that, so I’d know how much to bring. and all that. So below, I am going to post some pictures of my apartment, so you all might be able to get an idea of what to expect if you are moving down there. This is the layout of a two bedroom vista way apartment. I don't have any Chatham square apartment pictures to show you, but the layout there would be very different. I'll also point out the difference between the apartment shown below, and a 3 bedroom one (vista way only has 2 and 3 bedroom apartments).

This would be the living room area. The open door on the left side of the frame is the main (and only) entrance to the apartment. If you closed that door, right behind it (immediately to the left when you enter the apartment) is the door for bedroom one. There will be pictures of bedroom one below. Directly across for the door leading into bedroom one is the coat closet. I don’t have any pictures of it, but its not huge. Just a standard coat closet. On the right half of this picture you see the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen comes with a full size fridge, microwave, oven, dish washer, silver wear, glasses, mugs, bowls and plates, and maybe other things. I don’t know if they give you 6 chairs for the table in a 3 bedroom apt, but there are 4 chairs in my 2 bedroom one. So everything you see in this picture is consistent in a 3 bedroom apartment, except that the ceiling will be a lot lower, since 2 bedroom apts are on the 3rd (top) floor, and 3 bedroom apts are on the lower floors. This is all the "common space" for a two bedroom apartment. A 3 br apt will have a common hallway connecting bedrooms two and three to the living room, as well as bathroom two.

Here is a view of the same room, from the apartment entrance, near the door for bedroom one. In the far right corner of the room, you can see the doorway for bedroom two. if this were a 3 br apt, that would just be a hallway leading to the other two bedrooms. just to the left of that door, on the other side of the thermostat is another door. This is just a utility room, which should remain locked. only security and maintenance go in there. Just a water heater and furnace and stuff like that. Nothing thrilling.

View of the same area, from the kitchen. Here you can see how cool and impressive the double sinks and dishwasher are. ooooohhhhhhhhh. Also, on the right side, at the end of the counter, where the counter meets the wall, you can see a plastic hook on the wall. that is the designated area for hanging the mailbox key. Just around the corner from that on the wall (kitchen side) is where the phone is.

it shows a storage room between the two bathrooms, that would be the utility closet that i mentioned above.
and take that floor plan, and chop off bedroom three, give bedroom three's closet to bedroom two, and take away bedroom two's closet and you know have a two bedroom apt.
