The Disney College Program and Professional Internship programs are on indefinite hold as well- in Florida they've been removing furniture from their DCP housing facilities. Unsure of what they're doing with Carnegie in Anaheim. I just feel bad for my friends who were accepted this fall, and for those who were hoping to do the program and won't have the opportunity to while in school.
Wonderful insight, SuddenStorm, thank you so much for sharing! And yes, things are getting more and more dire by the day in Anaheim.
I quoted the part about the college intern program above, and Carnegie Plaza apartments in downtown Anaheim. Disneyland's college program had leased several hundred apartments long-term for the past decade in downtown Anaheim. Each apartment had four to six college kids in it, working at Disneyland with disposable income. It was a major driver of the renaissance of downtown Anaheim with the Packing District, Promenade, etc.,
But that's all gone now. All of those apartments sit empty, with no known way to repopulate them except for dumping them onto the market for non-Disney renters.
I have unexpectedly ended up out in Rancho Mirage for the weekend to help a friend, but there's a little party (actually a HUGE party) here this weekend where two people who will be in attendance have solid working knowledge of the OC rental market and commercial real estate. I will definitely hit them up for their thoughts on Anaheim. If they have any juicy info, I will share it here later this weekend.
