It can be a nightmare trying to pack what seems like your entire life into the trunk of your car (or even worse suitcases for a plane) for the long haul down to Orlando to start your Disney College program. Along with you everyday regular items there are definitely a few things you should bring that nobody tells you too, but you will most definitely use.
- Space Bags
These will be your best friend when attempting to pack your life into just a few bags. Although to sue them on the way home you will need to rent (or bring) a vacuum. Sometimes the housing complexes have them to use, but not always.
- Command Strips
This is not a new one for anyone who has ever lived in a dorm or temporary housing before. You can’t make holes in the walls so to hang decorations up opt for some command strips and hooks.
- A winter Jacket
Contrary to popular belief it does get cold in Orlando (sometimes) in December in January. You will be thankful you have a heavier coat when it does.
- A Lock
Every Apartment comes with a personal locker in the closet. If you have anything extremely valuable or are unsure about your roommate bring a lock to put on it.
- An Umbrella and Raincoat
It rains -a lot- in Florida. So if you happen to be going to work or the parks, or maybe you just need to go grocery shopping you’ll be happy you have this. Besides being showing up to work soaking wet isn’t Disney Look.
- External Phone Charger
Great to have for those days that you go straight from the park to work or vice versa.
- Black Sunglasses
If you have an outdoor location having sunglasses is a very smart idea.
- Black Socks
Again not always necessary, but technically Black Socks is Disney Look. if you don’t wear black socks with your costume though most people won’t notice.
- Pasta Strainer
Okay Let's be real, we are all College Students and Live off of Carbs. This one very important thing they do not provide you with at the apartments.
- Lunchbox, Tupperware, Reusable Water Bottle
You will be working very long shifts sometimes and will need food. Buying food adds up quickly so it's best to bring your lunch (or dinner).
- Power Strips
Necessary to charge everything with the few outlets you’ll have to share a room.
- Going Out Dress and heels (or flats)
You will likely use these items at least once on your Program (whether your 21 or not). Some bars and clubs let under 21s in. But otherwise, you will probably use it for Formal -in Fall- or for some other event like Dapper Day. Better to have it with you.
- Coat Hanger
Storage Space is limited, especially drawer space. You’ll have a total of three drawers provided. But there's always lots of closet space!
