Where do DCP's live...

Disney College Program participants have the option to live in housing complexes near Walt Disney World Resort

Some amenities that are included in the apartments: 

  • Fully furnished apartment
  • Kitchen appliances, utensils, and dishes
  • All utilities, including water, electricity, and waste disposal
  • Maintenance of the apartments
  • Computer labs 
  • High-speed internet access, and cable ready set up in all apartments
There are three different locations DCP's can live; Vista Way, Chatham Square, and Patterson Court.

Vista Way
Vista Way is about a five minute drive from the other DCP housing. Vista Way is walking distance from a Walgreens, Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's, Starbucks, and many more. There is one mail room where students can pick up their mail and they can send out mail in a mail kiosk outside of the fitness center. There are laundry machines in every building and they are card operated machines, which means you must purchase a laundry card for $5 with a $1 non-refundable fee. These cards are only used at Vista Way. Vista Way also has two pools, a fitness center, sand volleyball court, outdoor pool table, tennis court, basketball court, and two hot tubs. The transportation head quarters is also located at Vista Way. Vista Way is the oldest complex, however it is also known as the "party" housing. There are always people around but if you don't like the party scene it's very easy to avoid as well.
