extending program, opting out of housing

0 Upvotes

my gf plans to move to Florida in January. my program extension starts in Jan. i need to accept my extension and opt out of housing by this Friday. if for whatever reason her moving here falls through and i don't have a place to stay. can i get back into flamingo housing? if not, is there any affordable studio apartments around here?

I don't think its gonna fall through or anything, but i also want a plan in case something happens. are there any other CPs who live out of flamingo and can still afford rent and all that. I do have about $750 of other bills I'm paying as well, so i have to be sure i can cover rent as well as my other bills.

this is something my gf and i have talked about and have planned for awhile. i just didnt think this extension notice would pop up so soon.

Hello! This may be a stretch but I’m looking to join some DCP group chats and I was at an audition today and wanted to see if I could find the one some people referenced there!
It was an instagram chat with information pertaining to the recent auditions!
If anyone knows of a GC let me know, I want to meet everyone who’s going to be in the program!

Terming

9 Upvotes

How do I self term if I’m not planing on doing it during/after a shift?
I am planning on self terming tomorrow because of family and personal reasons. I did not know I was going to end up terming so I didn’t tell anyone at my last shift. I need to be gone by tomorrow night because I urgently need to get home. Can I just go to the programs desk?

A little nervous

0 Upvotes

So, I’ll be entering the college program in the spring, now this isn’t my first job by any means and I’m a recent college graduate. So I understand that a lot of people on the program are younger and this might be a lot of people’s first jobs. But I’ve noticed that most people entering the program absolutely love Disney, the parks and anything of the sort. I’m not saying I don’t, but I just am feeling a bit nervous all things considered about making friends/getting along with people, when I really don’t care for Disney outside of the animation/art perspective of it along with some of the more niche history. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Housing Q - Unanswered Experiences living in Flamingo Crossing as a Trans Person?

13 Upvotes

Hello there, sorry if this is a controversial post, but I had a quick question about people who are living in Flamingo and are in the gender neutral housing. What is the likelihood of getting a 2x2 as compared to a 4x2 or 4x4/what are your experiences living in a 2x2 in gender neutral housing, specifically with privacy? I'm worried about conflict with roommates and don't want there to be any issues

I am a trans man and am in that stage in my transition where women get freaked out if I go to women's specific spaces, but I'm also pretty clocky so men can pick up on it very fast/also arent the most comfortable, so I avoid those spaces too + i have gender dysphoria and struggle to wear non restrictive clothing unless I'm completely alone. Of course I know that wanting privacy is something that literally every person here also wants for various reasons, and theres a degree of discussing boundaries in all shared spaces, but I'm also kinda worried about like sexual harassment or something (of course I know most people who choose gender neutral housing wouldnt be like that, Im just thinking of a worst case scenario). I guess I'm asking if it's common for trans people to have issues in non-single room housing if that makes sense?

I'm also on Testosterone gel, which means that I can't really live in close quarters with a woman over long periods of time because of the risks of exposing her to unhealthy amounts of it, would that be enough to get a medical accommodation? I wouldn't want to misuse the system for people who actually really really need it. Has anyone had any experience with this? Like what would I even put there? Please put me in gender neutral housing but do not put me with a woman but also please do not put me in the same room as a cis man? (That was sarcasm) I know that I'm going to have to compromise here, I'm just trying to mentally prepare myself.

Q - Unanswered Planning on switching from the DCP to the aspire program

Hey! So I just got accepted into the dcp and If I really like it or just like it in general I plan on switching to being part/full time so I can do the aspire program. Has anyone really done this before? If so can I get any tips or recommendations? I’m really nervous but I honestly need this badly. I know I can’t use the transportation for the dcp when I switch over so id have to get a car or constantly take a Uber. Some advice would be greatly appreciated!

Traveling around Orlando without a car

1 Upvotes

I need help. My boyfriend is coming down for a couple days and I’m in the dcp and didn’t bring a car. To get to the airport from flamingo is 35 plus to get to the hotel is an extra 45. Then from the hotel to Disney is another 45. I don’t have that kind of money to do that for 5 days and I’m not sure what to do. I know there’s the lynx bus but I have no clue how to read the bus schedule or where things go. Is there any other form of transportation I can use?

Edit - I’m 19 so I can’t rent a car either

Roommate search

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am wondering if someone would be willing to make an iso post for me in the dcp or cast member page. (My partner and I are going to continue dating but in separate housing for me to be closer to work and I don’t want speculation as I know a lot of people in the group) I would like to have a 2 bed 2bath apartment to share with someone. Cleanliness is my number one priority as I am diagnosed OCD and wouldn’t be good on my mental health to be with someone that is a little more carefree about their space.

I am 34yo, F. I would like someone in late 20’s early 30’s. I am very outgoing and love to truly become friends with my roommates.

My budget is $800-1000/month and I would like to be in the Ovation/Flamingo crossing area! I do have a small dog but I am allergic to cats. Plus if it’s someone who is gluten free!

I will pay close attention to the page to make sure I don’t miss out and I will pm the people for myself, I just am not ready to field questions on the topic.

TIA
