Disney College Program: Disneyland housing

One of the perks of the program is that housing is provided during your program. Unlike Disney World, Disneyland just has one complex.

Rent includes

Fully furnished apartment

Kitchen appliances, utensils, and dishes (more detail in packing blog)

All utilities, including water, electricity, and waste disposal

Maintenance of the apartments

High-speed internet access in all apartments

Cable ready  

Carnegie Plaza
180 W. Center Street Promenade

Anaheim, CA 92805

As of Spring 2017 the rent is $149.50. Carnegie offers Studio, one, and two-bedroom housing units and may accommodate up to 2-5 participants per bedroom, but mainly the bedrooms are 2,3, or 5 people pre bedroom. Due to California law Disney cannot make an automatic housing deduction from your pay check like how it is done in Disney World, so you will receive the entire amount in full every Thursday and then housing does an automatic withdraw on Fridays from your bank account for the weekly rent.

Like Disney World the bedroom may come with bunk beds, but you can take them apart if you want, but you have to put them back together after your program finishes. This is differently nice for Disneyland Bunk beds as for Disney World you can't take them apart.
