:wave: Magic,

I am really excited...I will be arriving Aug 14th. Can you give me (if you remember) and idea as to what day one will be like? As I may arrive a day later...

I know so many questions...

Is it necessary for us to open an account (checking or saving) there? Are the payroll checks direct deposted? One more question...

What are the hotels for family members? My mother will be drving me down and would need a place to stay overnight.....

Ok two more questions

When she makes her hotel reservations is there a discount? And do we need ot give them our applicant number in order to get a discounted room?

No more questions....

Thanks kindly.

Answers are inserted to your questions

:wave: Magic,

Day one is usually check in and paperwork, then moving into your apartment. Some people will have a few afternoon sessions such as a vista presentation and/or a presentation from Price Management (rules and such).

I know so many questions...

Is it necessary for us to open an account (checking or saving) there? Are the payroll checks direct deposted? One more question...

Not necessary to open an account with Vista, but you can if you like. You have an option of having your pay check direct deposited to any bank with a valid routing number and account number or you can pick up a paper check on Thursdays.

What are the hotels for family members? My mother will be drving me down and would need a place to stay overnight.....

All Disney hotels are available to cast members and their families. Other local hotels also offer discounts for Cast Members, such as the Celebration Hotel and most Good Neighbor Hotels.

Ok two more questions

When she makes her hotel reservations is there a discount? And do we need ot give them our applicant number in order to get a discounted room?

You need to have a valid Cast Member ID with a PA number on it to receive your discount. You will book the reservation online through the Cast Portal once you have access.

No more questions....

Thanks kindly.[/quote]

From what I've heard, their actually is NO TV with the apartment, you and your roommates have to provide one. I bet if you all pooled 20-40$, you could get a cheap one at Walmart. Also, you say how many roommates you would prefer to have, and they try to accommodate you.

Yes, bring a computer, the ones in the labs suck

You can choose a roomate if you both sign-in together and have both agreed to it, though it's not guarunteed.

Bring your own TV or buy one from the cast portal for less than dirt. Bathrooms are as such. 1 bedroom 1bathroom 2 CMs. 2 bedroom 2 bathroom 4 CMs. 3 Bedroom 3 bathroom 6 CMs. 4 bedroom 2 showers and 2 toilets, 4 sinks 8CMs.

I was told we can have little refrig in our apartment,,,is that correct? Kitchen,,is that one in each apartments? I know I have so many questions..

Full kitchen with full size refrig is in every apartment. All pots and pans and such too.

Thanks you for answering them...I just need to make sure I have everything I need before arriving....[/quote]

c-nyce, Im a florida resident thats arriving on august 14th...

I've been through a few hurricanes, tropical depressions, what-not.

The thing about hurricanes is that they can mostly be predicted. So if there is one, we will have enough time to prepare for it. Im sure witha big corporation like Disney, they will have some plan for us if one comes at us.

:drevil: <-Turn that frown upside down?
