![]() I think they are high for what they are and where they are.” Randy Shirey, a Realtor for Charles Rutenberg Realty, noted the new apartments “are more like a furnished vacation rental. Many former College Program cast members have noted the differences and upgrades available at the new complex that align with the price increase. In comparison to other Disney College Program housing, Flamingo Crossings Village is on the higher end of the rent spectrum, due to the new amenities, furnishings, privacy and single-bedroom options. American Campus Communities have an agreement with Walt Disney World to offer the apartments to cast members only. The new cast member-exclusive apartments at Flamingo Crossings Village are developed, owned and managed by American Campus Communities, a company that manages many college student apartment complexes across the country. Cast members usually find affordable housing in the area through mediums such as Zillow, 407 Apartments or by word-of-mouth and house-sharing with fellow cast members. Those participating in the College Program earn $11 an hour.Ī common housing option for cast members is renting, either apartments or rooms in houses, due to housing prices being so high in Orange County, where the majority of Central Florida’s attractions are located. The current starting pay for an hourly Walt Disney World cast member is $13 for part-time employees and $14 for full-time employees. There are also ‘flex’ floor plans available, which consist of one shared bedroom and one private bedroom. Something to note when choosing a floor plan is that the rents around the $500 mark are shared bedrooms, rents marked between $600 and $700 are private bedrooms with shared bathrooms, while rents marked around $999 are for private bedroom and private bathroom floor plans. To do this, they would pay rent per bed space, per room for the whole unit. While there are no single-bedroom units in the complex, a family could rent and occupy all rooms in one unit, availability permitting. Similarly, in a shared bedroom, two bedroom unit, if there are only three residents instead of four, the residents would not be responsible for paying for the remaining bed space. Would definitely recommend.Leases are per individual resident in each bed space, meaning that if only one bedroom is occupied in a two-bedroom private apartment, the resident would not need to pick up the missing rent. Finally the staff were all super friendly & were quick to deal with any requests/questions we had. The onsite restaurant had a good choice of food & then it's across the street from a Target, Walgreens & various food outlets. Plenty of options at the end of the day as well to keep you occupied- the pool is massive, the gym is good for a hotel & there's an arcade, table tennis table & cornhole boards available. Room was big enough for 3 adults to not feel like we were constantly stepping over each other (twin room & utilised the sofa bed), complementary breakfast covered whatever option we fancied for the day (cereal, eggs/sausage, Mickey waffles etc) & was always well stocked meaning you could get whatever you wanted, & the location was perfect for the theme parks- 10mins drive to any of the Disney Parks (they also offer daily shuttles which were easy to book & use on the odd occasion when we didn't need the flexibility of timing) & then 30mins to Universal Studios. ![]()
