Disney College Program Packing re-announced



I decided to remake a list in detail for people coming around the seasons of January.. things may range from when you're starting the program to how long you plan to stay. As for me, my program began around early January and ends May 19th. However, I might have plans to extend but as of right now. Heres what I feel most important about packing. Oh yeaaa, also keep in mind that I may choose my items differently from people who will be driving there. I have limited amount of space only!
I also want to go over things that I did not happen to need.

Going back to my old list as posted earlier. I still do recommend packing in advance, repacking, packing and repacking. That may not make sense but that's what I did. First I dumped everything I wanted to bring with me in a corner.. then slowly I started to arrange them as my pile got bigger. The hardest part will be arranging them into the big luggage but take your time to weigh it and look through everything again. DONT WORRY I went through my luggages many times!!!

First and most importantly.. BRING YOUR LAPTOP!!! and charger (even though the internet sucks here!
You also should bring a modem. OR put in money together with the amount of roommates you have to purchase one... Because If you do not have one~ You will NOT HAVE WIRELESS!! yea.. that's mee being trapped infront of the desk outside and connected by wire. ( this works too! if you only have 1 roommate like myself, we just sit by the desk together) Either way.. You wont be on the internet MUCH.. But you will need it.~! for school work, the HUB, FACEBOOK!!!
-Phone/charger - Obvious one but I forgot my charger on the way to the car ( luckily my sister reminded me)
-Camera, charger, usb blah blah.. I cant LIVE WITHOUT MY CAMERA!!
- Skin care, lotion (face, feet, body)
- Nail products (polish/filers/clipper)
- Beach towel - For the beach that I have no access to because I have no car and the buses dont take you everywhere.
- Bathing suits - Yay pool parties and free pizza
- Professional attire (pants, shirts) - You will need to wear them for your traditions, and if you're taking classes at Disney like myself. You are also required to wear them for training days so just be prepared
- Warm clothes for January/February - I did not bring enough! Bring hoodies! jeans. It's usually cold in the mornings and at late night
- Socks ( full black and whites ones ) - At old key west. We were required to wear white shoes but you can find them at walmart for cheap.. ( it feels like they know we will need them!!) Some places require you to wear the same color socks as your shoes, however I am free to wear whatver color I wanted.
- Slippers for the house - YES YOU NEED SLIPPERS FOR YOUR Apartment unless you want to step on the first carpets that no one wants to vaccum cuz the front desk closes so early and no one want to carry it to the 2nd floor.....
- Professional dress shoes - BRING FLATS. comfy shoes. I also have a heel with me that I plan to wear to class
- Sandals - for convenience!!
- Comfortable shoes (sneakers, flats) Bring some sneakers if you plan to jog or work out in the gym!
- Bring 1 full set of Dishes ( fork, knife, spoon, bowl and cup)= I bought my own set of bowl and cups. The ones in my apartment was in ok condition.. i ended up boiling some of them and using it. Always good to sanitize!
- 1 roll of toliet paper - No need you will probably have fun to go to walmart after the whole meeting.
- little Toothpaste, tooth brush ( for the first few nights)
- shower curtains ( or buy them there)
- Towel ( bath, face, hand)
- Bring some extra towels for your kitchen, bathroom to clean and wipe.
- Blanket,pillows linens, sheets
- Medicines
- health insurance information
- Writing utensils ( papers, envelops, folders, staplers, pencil, pens, highlighters)
- master lock
- laundry bag and basket
- Personal information
- hair clips, pins, rubberbands, combs, etc
- Hair dryer!! I highly recommend for girls.. especially when you dont want to wait for your hair to dry and you have work tomorrow!!

OVERALL I FEEL that EVERYONE SHOULD MAKE ROOM FOR CLOTHING.. that's one thing I do regret not bringing enough of.. You really dont have time to go shopping and even if you wanted to. The shopping mall bus comes once a week and you might not even have that day off from work.

Many items can be bought at Walmart. HOWEVER, carrying the items back to your place is the problem. You want to leave the space to carry food. YES STOCK Up on food with you get to walmart because Florida makes you eat.

Heres my advice CLOTHES, SHOES, ANYTHING YOU CANT FIND AT WALMART! Everything else you might consider just shopping out at walmart or walgreens or Publix.
GOOD NIGHT and Have a magical DAY
