Living at Disney World
Apartment Inspections
If you are living in a Disney Apartment, Property Management will inspect the apartment on a monthly basis. They will look at everything in the unit. You must keep the entire unit Spic and Span in order to get the White Glove. The White Glove is a reward for a clean apartment. If you pass your inspections, Property Management will reward you with a treat. If you fail you inspection, every tenant in the unit will pay a 25.00 fine that goes towards hiring a cleaning person to clean the apartment. A fail is considered if the apartment is totally unkempt. Sometimes Property Management may randomly choose a complex and do a Surprise Inspection while everyone is at work for the day. These inspections will catch people off guard if the unit is not clean.
How to Pass?
All beds are made
Microwave, stove top, oven, counters clean and garbage taken outside daily.
The floors swept, rugs vacuumed, and furniture dusted.
The Goal is to keep everything neat and tidy.
Is it a Good Idea to party all night at a Disney Apartment all Night?
Guests in other Buildings
It is a bad idea to party at any Disney owned apartment because they have a curfew that you must abide by. You are free to visit any apartment building during the daytime anytime until 9:00 PM. If you are visitng a complex after 9:00 PM you must be signed in and out. Every tenant is only permitted to have three guests in the building between 9:00 PM - 1:00 AM. All guests from other buildings must vacate and return home at 1:00 AM or sooner. If Security catches any visitors in the complex after 1:00 AM your job at Disney World could be put at risk. Every resident who lives in the complex must carry their housing ID at all times.
Underage Drinking
If you are underage and attending The Disney College Program, you job will be terminated very quick if you drink alcohol underage. All underage students will be housed in a Wellness Apartment. A Wellness Apartment is an alcohol free apartment for people who do not consume alcohol or underage. If alocholic beverages are found in a Wellness Apartment in a common area, all the tenants are sent home quickly. Underage Drinking is Strongly discouraged during your Disney College Semester
Drugs
If you are caught with drugs in your unit, you could lose that dream job very quick. A loss of job can happen even if you not at fault. Zero Tolerance for Drugs and Underage Drinking.
The Disney Point
Why do Disney Cast Members have a special Point?
You will learn the Disney Point at your Traditions Workshop. The Disney Point is a two-fingered point. The Single Finger point is considered a rude gesture according to Disney World.
The Demerit Point System
As a Disney College Program Cast Member, you will get Demerit Points if you break the simple rules. If you accumulate enough Demerit Points, your time at Disney is finished.
Point Distribution
1/2 point is awarded for arriving at work late
1 point is awarded for arriving at work 2 hours late or later or Calling in Sick / Personal. You will get penalized for those sick or mental health days. Do not think about visiting a park on if you take a Mental Health Day.
Points are awarded for various mistakes you make at work like mishandling cash, inappropriate language, unsafe conduct, etc.
The Reprimands
3 Points = 1 Reprimand within 30 days
3.5 points = 1 Reprimand and an extra Demerit Point within 30 Days
6 Points = 1 Reprimand within 60 days
9 Points = 1 Reprimand within 90 days
If you accumulate enough Reprimands, you time at Disney is over. You could get termed in seconds if you use your discount cards or visit a park on your sick day / mental health days.
Wrap Up
There are a whole bunch of rules to abide by when you take the Disney College Program. If you decide to take the program, it is advised that you do not party the night away because of the long days when you are working. If you are thinking of doing the Disney College Program, please review the Disney Look and the guidelines prior to application.
