important dorms pre-arrival steps
Congratulations on being accepted to a Disney Program! You’re probably asking yourself: “so what do I do next?”
Prior to your arrival, we encourage you to monitor your email inbox for next steps. It is imperative that each step be completed in the pre-arrival process for a successful start to your program.
There are multiple steps you will be required to take on DORMS, specifically, to ensure you are able to arrive for your program and that your check-in goes smoothly. This page outlines those steps so you can know what to expect next.
Accepting your offer on DORMS
First thing's first: you need to accept your offer! To accept your offer, follow the instructions in your acceptance email and log into DORMS to create a profile.
