flamingo crossings - disney housing | detailed complex tour and 4x2 apartment | fcv west dcp/crp '22

[@kyradenisealston2796]

This is an awesome video! I love the detail behind it. Really captured the vibe of flamingo, and this is literally the only place you can find a full tour. Great video idea 💡

[@StephensJournal]

Thank you! So glad you found it helpful!

@@StephensJournallove your video, great work!

[@hayleymorris]

I’m actually dying at how much better FCV is than Vista, it’s actually sending me 😂😂The fact we just had a little service desk to get parcels/ do anything

[@kittymaya4615]

I hope Disney compensated you for this video because it’s a great tour! Also, my home (US) was built in 1890 and sometimes it feels like I have three total outlets within a two-story house so all this technology/port/charging access is making me jealous, along with all the storage. And I like the Sally Generic brand shampoo in the shower - love a guy who knows quality at a good price haha

[@EnriqueAguilarKeko]

The most complete video about FCV I've seen. Thank you! I'll be there for October to do thw CRP! I hope I can see you there

[@-strick996]

I was a framing superintendent on that job, east and West. Largest job we framed. It's nice to see the finished product...

[@molliecole]

I’m going to save this video to watch as something to look forward to! I just saw the length as well and, sitting in my room at 11:20pm, did a fist pump and said yeeesss out loud! Can’t wait to watch it!

[@happyblackwoman6154]

I live(d) in east. West is more newer and a little quieter. East is busier. If you live at east, you won't be moving into an empty apartment. People will already be there when you move in.

[@LoFrench]

Watching this after I just got my CRP offer for March and after doing 2 programs in Vista this has be so excited to not have to worry about old housing anymore 😅

[@-Bert-]

This campus looks awesome. I'm not sure why some people say it isn't worth the money, that gym alone has better equipment than the one I pay $150+ a year for. I can't wait to start my CP in January.

[@jilllong4457]

The accommodation is amazing it’s just like hotel !

[@ashleighleeming819]

love it! so glad you're back doing the crp, i've missed your videos!!

[@gillowsdodisney7472]

Such a good video! Wow, we can't believe how amazing this housing is. Is there no shop like they used to have at The Commons? Will you show us the Flamingo Crossing Shopping bit, is that new too? can you walk there or do you need to get a bus? Keep the videos coming we love them! Ashley & Tom x

[@kyradenisealston2796]

There is a walking path to the stores across the street, I walk there at least once a week and it’s about 10-15 min walk. It has a baby target, 5 below, Starbucks, pieology, five guys, and few other things coming later

[@dallasgordon3100]

I agreed when I lived in the commons having nothing too close was a pain. Thank goodness I had my car then I got as not stuck waiting for transit.

[@sarahdorans1561]

Looks fab, such a good community vibe for any downtime you have. Love how you’s have made your rooms more homely, makes such a difference when it feels more like yours. Hope your training week goes well and looking forward to the next vidoe

[@MrTama93]

Can you request the TV sound to be silent at the pool? I see the constant noise while trying to read or something to be very annoying haha...

[@JackiePrado]

Omg, love the video and this is soo well explained 😊 I will move there in 1 week 🥳 also got the same option as you and also at west, ready to begin my CRP ❤

[@odvota]

Hi! Thank you so so much for your video! I'm doing Spring advantage 2024 and this video helped me so much. It was the best and most detailed tour I've seen! I have 2 questions for you, how far are East and West from each other? It's hard for me to understand lol. Second, how did you guys deal with the horrible Florida water? Water bottles or a Brita or something? Thanks so much again!

[@StephensJournal]

Aw thank you so much Olivia and congrats on Spring Advantage! So East/West is about a 15 minute walk. It's like an L shape walk between the two, and all buses will run between the two as well. In the beginning, we bought Walgreen's multi-packs of water bottles like 12/24 packs, but then invested in a Brita that we kept in the fridge filled at all times!

[@izzy8267]

I love the raw footage

[@davidedamico3975]

Great video! The most complete and detailed i’ve seen about the Flamingo Campus! It’s very helpful!! Can i just ask you how much do you pay for the rent?

[@Babiibuzz17]

Awesome video! I enjoyed every second of it and how detailed and thorough you were. Soo excited now to be there soon! :)

[@emilyjs1561]

Really enjoying following along with these :)

[@LostBoyGem]

I'm so excited! My arrival date is in October!

[@brendanvieira4132]

Love the new place! Way better than Vista :D Next time I'm down we'll have to meet up!

[@StephensJournal]

for sure!!! lolll yes it is much nicer than what we had isnt it lol!

[@oliviawestrol]

oh my gosh where did you get that little art print of your costume? its so cute i need one

[@StephensJournal]

search 'believersdreamersandyou' on instagram!! shes also from the UK, the artwork is amazing!

[@Hannahs_small_world]

Does the kitchen come with pots and pans etc??

[@hannahweaver4091]

I am coming down in January for the DCP and I was wondering if you find the beds comfortable or if you would recommend getting a foam mattress topper for the bed?

[@teyoncebess251]

When did you get accepted!?

[@kyradenisealston2796]

I’m in my DCP now and I bought a foam topper to go on top of the bed and it made it so much better.

[@benediktrichardwischgoll9448]

Amazing housing! I applied for the food and beverage program and basically ready to book my flights. However I'm still uncertain whether starting my career instead. How is work and the atmosphere over there? Any feed back on that?

[@crinnie45]

Just wow! It’s like a 5 star hotel, how do you drag yourself off to work.

[@weeblewobble22]

Do they have a printer i can use?

[@joannazhang8227]

Do u bring ur own pillows and quilt or they prepare them for u?

[@StephensJournal]

You can bring them. None are provided. I went to Walmart and bought all my bedding

[@angelinamartinez8501]

Hello there my name is angelina and I just applied for the dcp program and still waiting for phone interview. But I just wanted to know how did u get the 4x2? I heard the ppl who has a disability most likely get more. I don't know if I have a disability or not but just wanted to know I really want 4x2 or 4x4

[@nadiabell6985]

Do you choose to do classes online when you’ve done the program ? Or did you take time off of school ? What is that process like ? Thanks in advance ❤

[@StephensJournal]

I was on the Cultural Representative Program, so I wasn't enrolled in school! If you search 'Disney College Program' you'll find much more relating to your question! :)

[@Dh2z1961]

Would be interested to know how a Brit on the program sorts out Bank account, mobile SIM card etc

[@StephensJournal]

Hi! Disney sort a bank card for us, but I went to Partners Federal Credit Union which is a bank with Disney and set up a proper account with them. I then just ordered a sim online to be delivered to me and put it in and paid monthly to have data etc out there.

[@Dh2z1961]

@@StephensJournal great, very helpful - did you take cash out there to cover your first couple of weeks or rely on your UK cards?

[@StephensJournal]

@@Dh2z1961 I used a Revolut card! And some cash

[@disneyliaz]

Hey Stephen, i got a question for you. I want to do CRP (Germany) in 2023 and now im wondering if the old housing is still used or is everything new since the stop due covid?

[@StephensJournal]

hello! the old housing has been sold to private companies and are now used as family living/private condos. they are not affiliated to disney anymore! Its solely flamingo crossings east/west villages.

[@HalfBIind]

Also I’m 18 and graduated and my buddy is is gonna graduate next year would we be able to get in the same room?

[@StephensJournal]

If you have the exact same arrival date, yes you can!

[@Ameliarose-ws9eg]

I really would like to do the representative program when I’m 18, this complex looks so cool. If you want to go to any parks during days off do you pay, or get discount or is it free?

[@StephensJournal]

Hi, you really should! Its free for all Disney Parks and Water Parks on your day off, and you get a certain amount of passes for Friends & Family to enter for free too!

[@Kimluvsthetea]

Does this include the Disney college program or just for employment?I need to tell my daughter to apply

[@StephensJournal]

this is ONLY for disney college program participants and disney international programs! full time cast members cannot live here, so it's great for all of us doing programs!

[@CyberSonic157]

Why is it so empty? Lol, I'd figure it would be more busy with all the great facilitates being used.

[@StephensJournal]

I was doing this during the day and a lot of people would have been at work, it does get busy! This was right at the start too before all the Cultural Representatives where invited back to the states, so now, a year on, it has doubled in occupancy!

[@Zilla702Killa]

The party stories I have from working there 😅😂😂

[@myworld_Shelby]

I'm going to be part of the program January 9th! Is the gym usually empty? And are you sure its a 24hr gym?

[@StephensJournal]

It is indeed a 24/7 Gym. After a certain time of the evening you just have to scan your Flamingo Crossings card to enter the Community Centre, then everything in there (except the service desk) is 24 hour. (Vending machines, bathrooms, mail room, gym etc.). The gym is so big that usually seems quite empty, there is plenty of space for every thing!

[@margarethamilton3707]

definitely a LOT different than the old complexes😂

[@thibault5484]

It's great facility but at least in the commons you could have a balcony and buildings were only 1 floor up.

[@HalfBIind]

How much would rent cost?

[@Agonized_Soul]

Around $200 a week

[@HalfBIind]

@@Agonized_Soul is that good in budgeting? Considering only 30-40 hours?

[@Agonized_Soul]

@@HalfBIind it’s aight, considering you will be making at least 500 a week

[@Stewart.disney1]

Did you request this type of room ?
