I Got In!

[iDisney]

I've stayed at Patterson. I didn't like it that much. The apartments are smaller, and the buses don't stop at Patterson (so you have to walk to Chatham to catch a bus). The walk itself isn't that bad. But it's a pain late at night, in the rain, or after shopping.

I will have my car so the fact that the busses don't stop there doesn't bother me.

If they are smaller... are they cheaper? Also, how thick are the matresses? I'm looking into getting a memory foam mattress topper and wondered about the sheets fitting.

Also, what all should I bring? Ive seen Disney's list, but it doesn't seem like a very chomprehensive one. I've never lived on my own so this is all new territory!

No. In fact, last semester Patterson was the most expensive of the 3. As for the mattresses, they are really hard. So I recommend bringing a mattress pad.

A lot of stuff is included in the apartment. Some stuff to bring includes:
*a router
*warm-weather clothes
*a tv (if you use one- they aren't included)
*any special kitchen items (like a coffee machine, toaster, ect)
*calendar
*a good alarm clock
*a dry-erase board (this is great for writing messages, and everyone's schedules)

I figured they were the most expensive as they were the newest. How thick of a mattress topper do you think would fit a set of sheets? The deepest pockets I have been able to find are 15 inches, but I would like a good inch or two of memory foam as a topper. Are the mattresses fairly thin?

*Router: Check.
*Clothes: Check.
*TV: Check (Are there cable jacks in the bedrooms? The TV I have is a decent bedroom one, but would be too small to put in the main living room.
*Kitchen items: semi-check. I have a coffee maker that I have never used and a toaster oven. I'll have to pick up an actual toaster. Is it better to wait until I arrive for this kind of stuff in case another roommate has one? I would assume so.
*Alarm Clock: Check.
*Dry-Erase Board: I need to get one of these. And maybe a cork-board as well. Can you use nails to hang things?

Do you all which park you'll be working in? I work in the Magic Kingdom, and wouldn't trade what I do now for what I did before I left NJ for Fl.

CPs don't find out until Day 2 in FL. But I am hoping for the MK myself.
