You have finally made it to Florida or California for your Program. Your first few days are going to be busy, so instead of rushing, its best if you try and fly or drive in the day before check-in. This will allow you to rest up, get familiar with the area, and plan for any late flights if you are flying.
For both Disney World and Disneyland make sure you have your important paperwork before you leave HOME!!!!
Walt Disney World
A few days before you arrive you will receive an itinerary from Disney letting you know what times you will have check-in, casting, and your housing meeting. Starting with the Spring 2017 programs you location will be included in the itinerary. If you are attractions you will find out your ride you are going to work at on your first day of on the job training. The earliest someone could check in is 7AM and go through at least noon. So like I said its best to arrive the day before, as you don't want to have to rebook flights if fly in during your check in time.
As of Fall 2016, check-in is a bit different. Instead of everyone going to Vista on their first day, you will report to the housing complex's clubhouse you will be staying at. So now before you get to Disney, you will know what complex you will be staying at. You must report to the complex at the time given. Security will NOT LET YOU IN EARLY! If you do arrive early you will be waiting until your check in time.
If you are bringing your car down, this is where you will get your decal and make sure your car info is correct. The decal is $50 if you get it before you check in and $75 at check in.
Complex address
Vista Way 13501 Meadow Creek Dr
Orlando, FL 32821
The Commons
8050 Gables Commons Dr
Orlando, FL 32821
Chatham 8161 Chatham Manor Blvd
Orlando, FL 32821
Patterson Court
8139 Patterson Woods Dr
Orlando, FL 32821
During check in you will go through some of the paper work you did before you arrived, go over the Disney Look, get pictures for your housing ID, and Keys for your apartment. They will also give you a housing guide and some FREE STUFF!!!
Parents are not allowed during check in or casting, but will be able to help you move in.
For your pictures you need to be in Disney Looks from the Neck up other then that you can and should ware whatever you want. My advice is to wear relaxed clothes as you will be hot and tired after the day is over. So you if you are person who like to wear a suit for check-in, Don't do it!
Next on the itinerary will be the time you will need to report to casting. You Must go to Vista or Chatham and get on the BUS. These buses do not go to the other complexes. The nice thing your casting bus will be coach buses and not TranStar. You can't drive as there is no parking at casting.
Once at casting you will finish up going over paperwork, do figures prints for your background check and get your WORK LOCATION!!!
Depending on your role you may need a drug test which will be done at casting as well. It may be separate from your casting time. If you are a life guard you will have your swim test scheduled for that day as well.
Next you will have your housing meeting witch may be the same day or scheduled for the next day. This will be held at The Commons and is MANDATORY that you GO. Since there is NOT a lot of parking at this complex it is best that you take one of the Transtar buses or walk to The Commons.
Everyone's check in process will be different, so don't freak out if yours isn't the same as your roommates. The next day you should have off before you have traditions. As that will be covered in another blog.
