Finding Your DCP Roommates
Alternately Titled: How I Inadvertently Became A Founding Member of The Disney Wine Mom Club
For Disney housing, there is no actual guarantee that you will get any particular apartment or roommates. If you find roommates ahead of time, you can request something together to increase your chances of getting what you want. So while you can go in blind, most people look for roommates beforehand. The best way to do this is fill out the roommate survey below, and share it on tumblr, in the facebook groups, and/or record a video of yourself for youtube. The most important thing to know is that you can only room with someone who has the same arrival date as you, so make sure you look for that when going through surveys.
I shared mine in the three DCP facebook groups I was in, and within a couple of hours I had a reply from one girl. We bonded over a favorite tv show and then I noticed another girl’s survey, so we added her to our chat. Then we found another girl’s roommate survey who meshed well with us so she and her best friend joined our group. In the last couple of weeks we found our last girl when she posted a survey after us.
Finding new roommates is very very awkward. Like dating. You have to be completely honest and true to your personality in your survey. You’re going to live with these people for months. Find other people whose lifestyle fits yours. i.e. Partier/Non-partier, smoker/nonsmoker, cold/hot temperature, needs music to sleep, whatever the issue important to you is.
Just message a bunch of people who you think you could fit well with. A lot of people will ignore you. A lot of people will message you twice and then never reply. Don’t get discouraged! You’re going to find your people. People will be getting accepted for months so you have time. Our group is already so excited to meet each other. We gave out group the little name “Disney Wine Mom Club”. I can’t wait until I meet these girls!
Good luck on your roommate search!
