During our last trip to Disney World, we stayed at Disney's BoardWalk Inn (first time) and fell in…read morelove with Disney's BoardWalk. Who knew that an entertainment district themed after turn-of-the-century Mid-Atlantic boardwalks (e.g., Coney Island, NY and Atlantic City, NJ) would have so much appeal? Well for us, it did. It's really charming and intimate, especially when compared to other parts of Disney World, like the relatively gargantuan Disney Springs. So, along with the fun and unique "seaside" period atmosphere, its size and the fact that this part of Disney isn't crowded had a lot to do with our enjoyment of Disney's BoardWalk. There's a black-and-white photo inside the BoardWalk Inn of the Three Stooges during an appearance at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City in 1938. To me, that photo encapsulates the time period and atmosphere that I think Disney aspired to recreate at the BoardWalk, and I think Disney was successful, for the most part. Aside from the Inn (and the Innkeeper's Club), highlights here include the Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, Screen Door General Store (for exclusive BoardWalk merch), and Atlantic Dance Hall (cool they have this art-deco music venue here). My wife and I would like to return and have dinner at restaurants Flying Fish (seafood) and Trattoria al Forno (Italian).

There is plenty of free parking, and everything is really organized with one-way streets and attendants directing traffic. When you enter, you also go through security, which I appreciate for the extra layer of protection. Once you're inside, the whole place is so nice! Everything feels larger than life, while still being clean, organized, and easy to navigate. It's really grown and built up over the years, but they've managed to keep some of the classics around too, like the hot air balloon and resort connections. There is truly something for everyone here, from activities and entertainment to restaurants and shopping. It's definitely worth a stop when visiting Orlando, whether you're spending time at Disney World, International Drive, CityWalk, or anywhere nearby. Looking for something active? Check out Level 99, with game rooms designed to challenge you physically, mentally, and with different skills. Looking for entertainment? You can catch a Cirque du Soleil show right at Disney Springs. Want more of an experience? The Coca-Cola Store has great views and a fun sampler package where you can try flavors from around the world. And of course, there is plenty of shopping! You'll find classic stores like Francesca's, lululemon, Zara, and more, along with plenty of Disney-specific shops. I especially suggest stopping into the M&M'S store. It's bright, colorful, and full of so much fun energy. Who knew M&M'S had so much personality?! You definitely don't want to miss Disney Springs while you're in Orlando. It's become so much more than just a place to shop and eat, and there really is something here for everyone!

I was indeed grateful to find a few items I couldn't find at other stores/supermarkets to take with me on my trip back home. Customer service is also great, was able to find a store representative to assist with locating one item that was hard to get. I did do a price check on some of the items purchased and others I did not and found some to be less expensive than in my home area yet others were a bit pricier. Overall great store.

I was recently visiting Orlando for a conference, and I joined a group to tour the Flamingo…read moreCrossings Village recently one morning. While I recognize that this Yelp page is most likely for the Flamingo Crossings Town Center, I was so impressed with my visit to the Flamingo Crossings Village that I wanted to write about that experience as it is still technically Flamingo Crossings. While the Town Center has a mix of restaurants, shopping, services, hotels, and more near Walt Disney World Resort, it is also home to the Flamingo Crossings Village just across the street split into the East and West Villages, which house approximately 10,000 Disney interns, cast members, and operating participants. It is managed and owned by American Campus Communities (ACC) and offers two- and four-bedroom apartments with private or shared bathrooms. There are also many amenities within each of the two villages for the community as a whole. This community layout is consistent with many colleges and universities across the country who currently partner with ACC or a similar public-private partnership. During my tour, I saw the Community Center with a 24/7 front desk offering customer service and support to all of the residents. There was a HUGE gym upstairs with a service center window downstairs offering sports equipment, cleaning supplies, wagons, utility carts, and a place to accept packages to place in a package room. There was a large pool, lounges, study spaces, and more. There are also daily movies at the pool (Disney-themed) along with a variety of events and activities each month from craft activities, larger-scale social events, free treat giveaways, and so much more. This is consistent with both villages. I was also impressed to see how much Disney was able to be viewed across the communities. Read more about these special communities at https://www.americancampus.com/student-apartments/fl/disney/flamingo-crossings-village. In addition to the villages, the actual Flamingo Crossings are has a lot to offer the residents of the villages and any Disney fan or Orlando-area resident happening by the area. The Town Center has over 40 familiar brands and unique-to-market offerings in a 200,000 square foot, open-air retail hub. It is open daily. They have 21 restaurants or gas stations with shops. Some national chains include 3Natives Açai Café, Dunkin', Firehouse Subs, Five Guys, Skyline Chili, SONIC, Starbucks, and Wendy's just to name a few. The five retails stores include AT&T, Fit2Run (The Runner's Superstore), Five Below, Target, and The UPS Store. The three services include an ER, Primary Care, and Nail Salon.

This is my second Disney College Program. I should have known better than to opt for Flamingo…read morehousing, and I'm looking into other options now. While Flamingo puts up a front that they take care of things for outsiders, they are not so timely or considerate for residents. Some work orders are answered promptly, others take months. Conflict with a roommate? Don't expect the Flamingo staff to help. We reached out as the three of us for a problematic new roommate, and the best Flamingo could offer was an email invite to a "roommate meeting" where the problematic roommate in question did not attend. Accommodations process is difficult and inconsiderate. The worst is assumed of you as a resident until proven otherwise. The cleaning procedures and maintenance intrusions are highly invasive. Even with an email in advance, they don't knock sometimes and come into your room without notice, at any point during business hours. Getting your own room with the rent prices is a steal, whereas sharing a bedroom with a roommate is a scam. It's the same rent price as other options where you are treated as a full adult with your own apartment, so take my advice and find a roommate to live off Flamingo's campus with. While it may be a nicer experience than the DCP's previous housing options, it is still "dorm style" enough that I am policed like a student, and not a full time working adult. The last cherry on top, I was informed that Flamingo stopped offering roommate matches (requesting/choosing your roommate before move-in), and that they stopped pairing people with similar living styles (they don't offer a questionnaire at all anymore about how clean you keep things, whether you're a morning person or not, etc). All of this to say that roommates are randomly assigned, and if you don't match well, good luck. There's little you can do, even while paying the same rent price as an outsider would pay for their own room. Previous problematic roommate would leave raw meat out on the counter for hours and in the fridge with no protective covering. The amenities are nice, but I do caution you to fully research other CPs' experience, whether on Reddit or other forums, before you commit to the housing lease with your program. Once you sign, you are basically trapped within the one housing option, as a breach of your lease (moving out) would mean losing your job at Disney. I want to move out somewhere else so bad, but I'm afraid I will lose my role at Magic Kingdom. Good luck to you. Hopefully you have a better experience than mine.

A couple of years ago Disney D-Tech Me moved into Darth's Mall with a very creative offering. They will take a 3D image of your face and then transfer it to an action figure. They have several offerings to choose from such as a Stormtrooper, Rebel Pilot and 3D image yourself frozen in cabonite a la Han Solo from Empire Strikes back. Whether you are looking for hard to find toys, collectables, art or even decals for your vehicle Darth's Mall has it and if you time it right it's fun to get it.
