Where do WDW employees live?

[Nanuzabi]

This may sound like a very dumb question, but I was just wondering if WDW employees from all over the world are offered a place in a residence or what the case was. Are there apartment complexes, residences, or are they just responsible to find their own place?

Thanks. :wave:

where they live

unless they are college programmers or part of the international program (yay for Epcot people!)...

the cast members are folks like you and me

hence, they live where ever they choose to...and can afford.

Hope this helps!

The people in ICP have their own housing, like with regular CP housing.

CP's, ICP's (isn't that a crappy rap band?), IP's, and AI's generally live in one of 3 Disney owned apartment complexes. Disney deducts their rent from their paychecks. There are a few (VERY few) exceptions to this rule. Some AI's can seek their own housing, as well as CP's that were recruited from a local university/have family locally. Also, married CP's can sometimes live off site with their spouse.

Every other CM lives in a house, apartment, trailer, condo, or any other unit of housing available in the Central Florida/Tampa Bay housing market.

I used to like ICP - "Who's going chicken huntin? We's goin chicken huntin!"

But i digress... Anywhere along I-4 you're likely to find Disney CM's.

What is all this "where do cast members live" talk? You're ruining the magic for me! Next you'll be telling us that the people from Canada don't live in Canada, and Cindy doesn't really live in her castle! :lol:

if any cp's know of the lovely vista way, {says under his breath} crap. it is a lovely place. the only reason i like it was that i could take a bus from vista to MK and not have to drive myself. even though i was told that chatum people were watched more closely than vista people but i wouldnt mind getting watched that much if i got the nice dishwashers and ovens and more tv channels than the other cps

Three cheers for Chatham!! Hip! Hip! My roommate left socks in the soup kettle and there's a weekold spaghetti dinner splattered on the balcony!

Ahh, memories...

Its funny because my dad and I were recently discussing this topic. I made a picture outlining Chatham and the Commons.

They are Southeast of WDW. To the west of the picture is the intersection of I-4 and S. Apopka Vineland Road.

go anywhere in Orlando and you can bet a castmember lives close by. I had some CM friends that had to live in these ghetto apartments (lot of these in Orlando) their salary is something not to be desired. no offense to any CM's.

I love the websites devoted to vista way and the interesting goings on there. Fun reading!
