DORMS Arrival Reminder

Recently on the evening of Friday night while completing a few tasks at the Marriott at Pensacola Beach hotel, I was checking my e-mail messages. With the new DORMS arrival system for housing, there are a few new changes to the check-in process detailed in the following e-mail:

Congratulations on your upcoming arrival [Arrival Date]! 

Your check-in will begin at Vista Way Welcome Center, 13501 Meadow Creek Drive, Orlando, 32821. Please arrive on [Arrival Date] during the arrival window of 8:00 – 10:00 AM.  Housing quiet hours are from 1:00 AM to 7:00 AM; please do not arrive prior to your arrival window or anytime during quiet hours.

Please be sure to bring your boarding pass and all forms printed and hand signed below the electronic signature to speed up your arrival process.   Please print each page on a separate sheet of paper as these forms will be scanned into DORMS after arrival and we are unable to scan double-sided printing at this time.

All on-site arrivals should bring the following forms, printed and signed:

1.       Boarding Pass

2.       Community Codes (please hand sign under printed name)

3.       Payroll Authorization (please hand sign under printed name)

4.       Alcohol Policy* (please hand sign under printed name)

*Only those participants under the age of 21 or that opted into an alcohol prohibited unit will have this form.

All off-site arrivals (opt out of housing) should bring the following forms, printed and signed:

1.       Boarding Pass

2.       Code of Conduct (please hand sign under printed name)

Please bring all of your luggage and belongings with you to the Welcome Center during the arrival process. You may store them in your personal vehicle or the luggage storage area. Please note we are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Please note that all arrivals will be taking a photo upon arrival for your housing ID and you will need to be in ‘Disney Look’ from the shoulders up!  

Please log into http://DORMS.disney.com as soon as possible to print and hand sign your forms if you have not already done so.  If you no longer remember your password, please select the ‘Forgot Password’ link on the page and enter the email address that you used on your online application.  This will send a new temporary password to that email address so that you may return to the site to print your forms. 

If you have any questions or any issues printing your forms or are no longer planning to arrive on [your arrival date], please contact us at wdw.housing.DORMS@disney.com so that we may update our records. 

Thank you,
Disney Housing Operations

This means that all new arrivals beginning May 13, 2013 are required to print out every form that they fill out on the DORMS site, and hand sign them all. Definitely a big change in the check-in system for the Disney College Program housing, but hopefully for the better.
