Built
in 1988, Vista Way is the oldest of the complexes. It is considered to have more of a “party”
atmosphere than the other 2 complexes, but since this building is older it does
have the cheapest rent. It is also right
near a Walgreens and other various stores/fast food venues. There is also a bus stop located here to take
you to all the theme parks, as well as a shopping center.
Chatham
Square is the “middle” complex. It’s not
the oldest, but not the youngest; not the cleanest, but not the dirtiest; not
the loudest, but not the quietest. Since
Chatham was built in 2000, it is still fairly new. One really nice aspect of Chatham is that it is
located across the street from Mickey’s Retreat, which is a recreation complex
for Cast Members (sand volleyball courts, pools, hammocks, tennis courts,
grills, table tennis, tether ball). Like
Vista Way, there is a bus stop here too.
Patterson
Court is the newest and the nicest of all three complexes. It was built in 2008 and is still in
excellent condition. Because Patterson
is in such great condition it is the most expensive, but not by much (I believe the rent is $1
more than that for Chatham). One
downside is that there is no bus stop, so you will have to walk to the one in
Chatham.
My roommates and I have discussed which housing complex we would like to live in and have decided on Chatham. We chose this complex because the rooms are in good condition and it has a bus stop. None of us are too worried about security, but if I’m arriving from work at 3 am I would rather be dropped off near my apartment.
One
additional note about policies. Drugs
and other illegal substances are forbidden.
Alcohol is not allowed in the “wellness” apartments, which are for
participants under 21. If you are over
21, then you can opt into a wellness apartment by signing a contract agreement.
There is also a security team at each
complex; this means that a valid property ID is required to access your complex
and no visitors can stay later than 1 am.
If any of these are breached, they could result in termination. Always keep a sharp eye and make sure this doesn't happen to you!
Since I
don’t drink or like to party, I'd rather live in a wellness apartment. I don’t mind if others around me like to
party occasionally, but I don’t want to have to deal with alcohol problems in
my apartment. My roommates and I will
hopefully make it to check-in early enough so we can get exactly what we
want: A 3-bedroom apartment in Chatham
Square. Can't wait for June 11th!
Well,
that’s all for tonight. I promise I will
post my packing list soon and will begin a Countdown to Disney – starting tomorrow! Yes, you should be completely excited to
learn even more about my Disney favorites.
Have a magical night!
