Instead of the infamous move in day where everyone gets up at 3am, waits in line with their roommates, and then requests which apartment complex they will be living in Disney is now putting together a new plan.
10 days prior to arrival all Disney College Program participants will receive an email where you will be able to make roommate selections and choose your apartment complex. Of course Disney says that they do their best to accommodate, but that roommate selections and your choice of apartment complexes don't always work out--scary at first, but I think they say this in case something "odd" happens.
I was a bit freaked at first when one of my roommates texted me about this--I was worried we wouldn't be able to room together and that would have been depressing, but I think it will all work out.
Apparently if just one of your roommates goes on and makes their housing selection and their roommate choices, the roommates selected will get a confirmation email where they can accept being your roommate. Just have all of your roommates dorming numbers ready before you do it and make sure you all agree on your preferences when it comes to the apartment complexes.
I'm actually a bit bummed because I was excited to wake up really early and stand in line with my roommates and be able bond with all the other CP's, but alas our bonding time will be cut short. But hey that means more time hanging out late and getting (a little) time to sleep in. Also feeling more awake for fireworks at the Polynesian Resort!

I bet it will all work out for you and your roommates just fine
