Disney College Program Building Inspection.

COOKIES!!!
Your inspection paper results...

It's TRUE!!! You cant just keep your room as dirty and as messy as you want. No.. not Really, You can but Just keep your eyes OPENED for your inspection days that will be posted near the entrance by the security or near bus stops.

Throughout your Disney College Program, your building will be inspected a few times. It seems I get an inspection every 37 days, my first one being February 22 and the upcoming one on April 1st. Since my inspection date is coming soon I thought I would share some detail with you on how to pass. If you do not pass Inspection.. you will be charged extra on your next paycheck, I believe 25 dollars extra taken out of your paycheck so that they can hire people to CLEAN YOUR APARTMENT FOR YOU.

sooooooo,.. I did not get "White glove" and the box of chocolate that comes with it, white glove is only given to rooms that are crystal clean! however I was reward with cookies, not just one but 2 bags of cookies that I was quite pleased with. My errors? well...I forgot to clean the inside of my microwave. I will surely am for it this time. It's much easier to keep a tidy room with just 2 people, imagine having to force all your roommates to clean up for inspection.. there will be alot of drama!!

Let's all try to get the white glove.. or passing with cookies is Okay tooo.

Here's how I do it... before every inspection date, I would arrange a day for me and my roommate to get together to visit the clubhouse, where we can borrow vacuum, mop, broom and other cleaning equipment that you might need. After tidying up the room, we would just vacuum and wash down, usually the day before inspection, HOWEVER, keep in mind that the clubhouse for chatham, patterson and the commons usually close at 5:00pm so if you're working that day and you dont get off till late, I suggest you do your cleaning a day where you can actually borrow the equipment ( I hate how early the clubhouse closes!) Somedays they will be opened later than usual, so just find out the time and set up your schedule to prepare for cleaning.

Make sure to clean your kitchen: the sink, the stove, fridge, microwave, and keep everything looking neat.. i mean EVEN Your fridge, dont think you can get away with just stuffing everything into your cabinets lol

Make sure to make your bed, just fold it nicely, keep it looking neat and clean.

Make sure you clean your bathroom, the floors should be washed, no hair, bathtubs cleaned and toliets... must be in the same condition as when you first arrived.

and lastly, do not forget to vacuum and dust.

After inspection takes place, they will leave you a piece of paper, saying what they have checked and what was wrong.

GOOD LUCK with white glove!

and Have a magical day.

My new View on Vista Way

Duffy and I ( randomness)

Sooooooooo.. it's been a while, Been busy with ALOT OF Class assignments, group work.. online assignments for my advisor back at college and working OF course. I finally found some time to put this wonderful writing together about how things can Change. Well.. Remember my post regarding Vista vs Chatham vs Patterson!

I noticed that I could not just make judgement without looking deeper into it. I absolutely Love the activeness of Vista Way. It's really not like what people say it is, It's not dangerous or wild, well it may be wild but in a good way and I haven't seen nothing but friendly people around there. I must say.. one thing though... WHY IS VISTA WAY THE ONLY HOUSING COMPLEX WITH A HOT TUBS AND A computer LAB with movies to rent/watch and opened till midnight?!?!?! I am soo in love with the hot tub.. People use to say many negatives to me about going to the Hot tub at Vista Way such as getting pregnant, people doing some inappropriate things in there but it's really NOT true, there is nothing going on there but all friendly people trying to get to know more people. Sometimes you get crazy people there but I mean crazy as in crazy happy people. There are two hot tubs located on Vista way. one at the front pool by the bus stop, that one is questionable so if you want to be safe, go to the one in the back. The hot tub closes by midnight, if you are not out by then, the security will kick you back to your apartments. There is a pool and a gym right next to it, NOTHING IS going to happen to you so just sit back relax and enjoy the relaxing bubbles.. HOT TUBS ARE SOO meant for a busy days after work.

Another thing I really love about Vista Way is the Midnight computer labs with fast internet and a large screen TV for DVDs. This is also the only place YOU CAN BORROW movies and books, 2 can be taken out at once with your Disney ID. The clubhouse/front desk for chatham, patterson, commons all close at 5:00 so by the time I get off work, I cant borrow anything like vaccum or sports stuff or even use the computer lab to print hw. I hate how Vista and Chatham are soo far apart, getting there can be a pain, it's annoying if I just want to go over there to borrow a dvd or return dvds, hottub and internet that I actually game with.,, and then having to travel all the way back to Chatham.. If Only i lived at Vista, I mean ALL THE buses take their breaks there so if your working bus takes you home around their breaks hours, like mine, you'll have to wait till they are finished their break to go back to Chatham which is like another 10- 15 longer.. You can take another bus but its common for all the buses to be taking the same breaks at the same time. BUT, If i lived at Vista I would be home earlier like all those people who get off at VISTA, damnit!! Vista is like the bus base and the main base for everything. As much as I am loving stuff about Vista, I alway hear people at vista complaining about their apartments how stuff is so worn out and breaking. I would not like that for living.

Oh yes and I love ALL the active, friendly, nice people I've met at Vista.

Chatham oh Chatham, when will you become the complex that I had hoped for?

ahaha

HAVE A MAGICAL DAY GUYS !

DPC: For those arriving earlier~ hotel Information

Since many of you know that the check in time starts from 9:00 Am and ends at 12:00

DO NOT BE LATE.

I'm suppose to be arriving the January of 17th however, the earliest flight is on 6:30 and it takes around 3 hours for arrival and i fear that I may not be able to get the room of my choice so for those of you who wants to get a room with your friends or a have a particular complex in mind, I believe it's safer to arrive earlier. I plan to live with my roommate Cherry for just 1 bedroom at Chatham and those run out fast! so, for that I will be arriving on the 16th of January and here are the Hotels I have found and recommended to be closest to the complex

The Holiday Inn Sunspree - the price ranging is really not too bad if you're considering that it's owned by the ICG however, it's walking distance from the Vista way check in

The Pineapple Hotel(Orlando Vista) which I am planning on staying because it's veryyyyy cuteeee and cheaper than the above. it's also walking distance from Vista way check in

( free continental breakfast)

And finally i was also recommended this hotel for its cheap price that my friend told me she stayed in that she thought was great! ( free continental breakfast)
