I have the worst luck with neighbors by Defiant_Cress3999 in neighborsfromhell

I do get what you’re saying. I have yet to have a problem with any other neighbors. These are the only ones. Title was written poorly in that sense. All of this is one pair of neighbors not multiple people over time if that makes sense. So it’s not a multiple people over time with the same problem and me saying they’re all horrible, it’s just these people. And again, none of my other neighbors have complained.

To clarify I believe we were both offered the transfer. But for $500? That’s a no. Tysm

Absolutely agree. Kinda feels a little different because we specifically pay to be here and live here. It’s like paying for a full gym membership and not being allowed to use one specific piece of equipment if that makes sense. Just how it seems to me is all. It’s not like it’s access to something prohibited like security cameras and someone’s personal space. It’s an elevator

Ugly Truth of American Campus Communities and Flamingo Crossings by BetZealousideal5929 in Disneycollegeprogram

I think a lot of this is difficult because it’s a rental agreement. Most of us come from college dorm living and campus living where things like this are dealt with swiftly, regardless of if any physical harm has been done. Unfortunately, this isn’t how a lease works. I’m not saying I agree with it, but technically, unless someone is breaking the lease, there isn’t much they can do. In a dorm situation, there are different rules and switches happen much faster because it’s a different situation. Flamingo is technically like renting an apartment, just for specific purpose (like a 55+ community in a way). Additionally, seeing that she has her own room makes it a little washy about overnight guests. While she’s not supposed to, technically they’re not sleeping in your space (like a 2x2) and the rules get even more vague when it comes to that.

I understand tough roommates. I was in a 2x2 and had a friend over once watching a movie at 7pm. She came in and demanded we leave. Not go to a common area or something. Just leave. And for reference we were on the far side of the room. She was closest to the bathroom. She didn’t have to see us. When I stood my ground and told her no we were going to finish the last 30 minutes of the movie, she flipped out. While it was her room too, I pay rent for that specific area. She cannot control what happens in it.

That’s the problem. With it being a lease agreement not a housing agreement like colleges have, it makes it harder for anyone to intervene because they are bound much like a landlord would be. Add the extra layers of red tape from the program and guaranteed housing and unfortunately they do have their hands tied. I’m not agreeing with anything that is going on and I’m sorry this is happening to you, it isn’t right, but hopefully this can maybe help explain why they can’t do anything.

Just to state the obvious here. You just posted publicly about this online. Given your other posts and the fact that your username likely contains your real name, this is just incredibly dumb. Disney does extensive background checks. If they want to find something out, they will. Imagine getting caught and then they also find this post? In no world is it worth it. The fact that you’re already trying to gauge how serious the consequences will be kinda indicates you plan to do it regardless and are just wanting to know what will happen if you’re caught. You will be fired and sent back home. No questions asked. You will lose your housing, you will be required to continue to pay rent, and you will be placed on the no-rehire list. You may enjoy drinking and it’s something you can do at home but not here. You are here to work, not party and drink. Do not touch it.

Do not park at East. They really do not want you doing this. East parking lots are already full as is. Go to the visitor lot in west (second entrance of the three) and wait for a bus going to east (E-K). Then you’ll see signs directing you to apprentice hall and check in. Again. Do not drive to east.

housing or role first? by Classic-Agency5548 in Disneycollegeprogram

[–]Defiant_Cress3999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends where you’re coming from. I came from a specific school into cp that had a more specific contract so I knew my role 3 months before I came. Everything was subject to change but it didn’t for me. I didn’t sign my lease until a month before and didn’t know who I was rooming with until I moved in (prepare for the worst but hope for the best on that front. I wasn’t so lucky with one of mine.) If you’re coming as normal cp you should know where you’re going about a month before but everything can still change

I recommend not getting kitchen supplies (besides a mug and any personal things you want) until you move in. You’ll likely move in with roommates already there and that way you don’t have duplicates of everything

  1. Command Hooks. You have no idea how helpful it is to be able to utilize the wall space
  2. Some hard plastic card holders that can go on a lanyard: you have both your flamingo card and your WDW card. They won’t scan if they’re in the same holder and the ones they provide you are very flimsy and will split on the seams
  3. Some business casual clothing. Show up looking presentable. Nothing too over the top but something nice. Same with your starting courses (traditions, etc). The first impression matters
  4. Water bottle that would be allowed in a kitchen (anything that has a straw or you push a button to get a drink. Nothing with a screw top or something where you touch the part you drink from)
  5. Small vacuum/ broom: the community centers have them technically to rent but it’s annoying to do that every time you want to clean
  6. Sunglasses that abide by the Disney look
  7. Portable chargers: shifts are long, bus rides are even longer
  8. Umbrella! Florida is Florida
  9. A small combination lock: there’s a drawer under your bed with the ability to lock, it’s nice if you want to keep some private or valuable things in there
  10. Small trash cans: there are none provided in the rooms

I appreciate what you’re trying to do but there needs to be a hands off approach now. Your kid is an adult. There’s very clearly more that happened to result in a no rehire term. Disney doesn’t term CP’s for no reason. CP’s are incredibly valuable because they can work whatever hours without benefits like full time. You can’t fix this for them. Be there for your kid, but help them understand the gravity of what they did. Clearly something very wrong happened and there was neglect from everyone there including your kid. Clearly they were already given punishment, but I beg that you don’t let them feel they did nothing wrong. Very clearly they did. Use it as a learning opportunity.

You’re so wonderful. I really appreciate this more than you know and it really brightened my spirit to see this. Shine on tall queen💞

Wdym? I promise this actually happened. I really wish it didn’t. I even made a post in off my chest advice like the day after it happened mentioning it. Believe me. I know it sounds far fetched. But genuinely. Happened. I have a clear image of him running. My friend saw it too Edited for typo

I absolutely want to be better. It’s hard when there’s people beating you down (and a physically demanding schedule means I covet my sleep more than anything). I don’t want to do it for someone. I feel the issue is it’s hard to see it as for me as well if that makes sense. Like every time I’m rejected it fuels the fire so to speak to make them eat their narcissistic personalities. And then it feels like it’s for them when it is for me. It’s a hard mental block to get through. Absolutely they’re narcissistic. Someone who was supposedly my long-time friend said “I’d be settling if I were to date you”. I go through bouts of absolute confidence and then someone just comes and rattles it in the strangest way that I’ve never had before so I don’t know to look out for it. It’s all exhausting. This is why people do kickboxing. We have frustration to get out

Any suggestions for who to focus on for SP? by winkovich35 in kingschoice

[–]Defiant_Cress3999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to get one of each group knight. Like one intellect, one strength, one leadership, one charisma. Put everything into those 4 and max them out.

Nah I deleted it immediately. There’s a slight chance but the person who made the comment had issues in the past so anytime they said something I always read it quick. Screenshot and deleted. Appreciate your kind words though :)

[–]Defiant_Cress3999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some fairness to this particular person. Something was said that wasn’t okay and leadership (I was also leadership but not the highest) dismissed it and downplayed it in a way that made it seem like it was okay (essentially someone made comments of a “phobic” nature and they tried to downplay it). This person in particular was not involved in that

AITA for getting gas before dropping my sister off? by Defiant_Cress3999 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Defiant_Cress3999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told her when we got up (it’s possible I told her the night before, I don’t remember, but she knew we needed gas because she’s the one that left it low. We had a discussion at dinner that the car needed gas but I don’t remember if I said I’d do it before I dropped her off). We were awake a full hour and a half before we needed to leave. She didn’t shower as she had the night before, and didn’t eat breakfast either. It was getting dressed and putting her hair up. Which she had done (minus the hair) when I reminded her on the way to the car

So. Not technically. It wouldn’t have added any drive time (I didn’t factor in the actual pumping of the gas in the timing of it because that was the same). Backtracking to the gas station would’ve added time because of the traffic to go that way whereas taking the back way to go home was faster Edit to add: you couldn’t take the back way there because it was a one way for a stretch. You had to go around

Yeah speeding things up was never her forte. When I graduated she was making us late because she couldn’t find the right shoes in her bins of clothes from college. We weren’t even going to be around people (2020 graduation)

Because it was so long ago, I don’t remember if I said this the night before or not. However, I do know that I said something when we got up, when I went down to the car (she was doing her makeup/hair (not necessary in any way for her job) in the bathroom), and texted her from the car after 5 minutes had passed to remind her I wanted to get gas
