This page is for non-changing discounts, although our main ones do change from time to time, b>my best advice is to show your ID everywhere

A VERY big thank you to Laurie S., Mary B. and all of the castmembers who volunteer information,
you have been a BIG help and without you this page would not exsist!

Remember this is NOT a Disney owned web site.
All discounts are subject to change and may not always be in affect at all times.

Also Disney is VERY strict when it comes to discounts, make sure you read the S.O.P.'s
and if you're not sure ask your manager.

These locations can be accessed ONLY with a valid Disney Castmember ID. Guests can not access
these areas. Some places allows you to take a guest with you. These places offer cast-exclusive
merchandise, discounted movie tickets, discounted local area attractions tickets
(including SeaWorld & Universal), notary public, postage, film processing and also other cast activity
info. Pick up a free copy of 'Donald's Deals' with off-site discounts. No additional discounts apply.

Team Disney

This is the only Co D I've been to and it is located across form Pleasure Island. It is in a big building
that one castmember describes as nuclear reactor. You must show your ID and sign in. I have
brought one person in with me but they can not buy anything. They request that you dress
accordingly as this is still a place of business. When you get inside and signed in walk off to
the left and follow the path beyond the Vista Credit Union. Co. D is at the end of the walkway.
1.407.828.3977

Disney University

Go through the main gate where you pay for parking. (parking is free with your ID) Get over to the
right and follow signs for the Contemporary. When you get to the Contemporary keep going on the same
road. It will say "service vehicles only". Keep going on that road past Space Mountain til it turns left over
some RR tracks. Then you come out to an intersection turn right. Follow the road to the guard shack and
on the right you will see the Disney U parking lot. Go into the building and the store is about 15 feet from
the main entrance. 1.407.824.4254

MGM Studios

Located at the Take 5 cafeteria. As soon as you come out of the Villains shop there will be a small walkway leaving to a privacy fence with the sign "Cast Members Only". When you get to the fence you turn right and there will be a very short street - about the width of a car. There is a building here and wgen you walk in the Company D is on the right. This is the Take 5 Cafeteria. It is a very small store. But you can still get some bargains. 1.407.560.4394

EPCOT

(Thanks Linda) The one in EPCOT is behind Mexico. There is an unmarked path to the right of the
Mexico building. Just keep walking and you will come to a wood privacy fence. Go behind it and
you will be backstage. The store is a little walk straight ahead. You will see all the cast members
going into a building. I don't remember if it has a name on the front, but you will know which one
it is. The store is on the left as you enter. You can also get to it by Germany. If you ride Test Track,
you should see it as you come to the major turn. 1.407.560.7070

Disney Reservation Center

Munincipal Drive 1.407.354.1891

Property Control

Open from 10am to 3:45 Monday thru Friday. Located at Reams Road employee entrance
(across from Disney U). Expect a big tent with a collection of new, discontinued items to damaged
merchandise. Unclaimed items from "lost & found" are also sold there for a nominal amount
(LOTS of strollers, camera cases & sunglasses). Newly opened is a store next to them, where things
are 40-60% off park prices but are still first quality.
CM ID required - may bring one non-CM adult, NO children allowed.

Disneyland

CoD at Disneyland is open 7 days a week 8am-6pm and is located in the cast member parking lot
on Katella. You may bring guests with you but you must show valid ID to buy. This place sells
over stock and discontinued merchandise.

There are 3 team Disney centers at Disneyland.
One in the Team Center building behind DL in the big yellow building.
One in Harbor house . Its behind the bank on main street through cast member only exit and
up the stairs by the lockers (DL cast only TDS cast not allowed )

I do believe that ABC follows the percentage somewhat similar to TDS. Please let me know if I am wrong.

WDW Resort Discounts

According to a CRO the discount policy is as follows:
  • Castmembers are allowed to make up to 5 reservations per year.
  • Each reservation can be for a maximum of 7 days.
  • You can only stay 7 consecutive days at each resort. (e.g. if you are going down for a
    10 day vacation, you must split the reservation. It can be 5 days at one resort and 5 days at a
    different resort, or 7 days at one resort and 3 days at a different resort, etc.)
  • You are allowed to book up to 3 (possibly 4) rooms per reservation. So, if you are
    taking other family or friends with you, you can book the room in your name and use your discount.
    You must be there to check them in. As long as your whole party is staying at the same resort,
    for the same length of time, it will be considered 1 reservation even if you have multiple rooms.
    If you all decide to stay at different resorts, then each will count as 1 reservation.
    (remember you can only make 5 per year.)
There are two types of discounts:
  1. You can book any resort as a CM and get a 25% discount (providing there is a room available).
    This discount does not have the 21 day prior to arrival restriction.
  2. To get the 50% discount, you must call 21 days prior to arrival (the 21-day window has opened
    earlier in the past - so do try before then). If you have already made a reservation with the 25%,
    you can not automatically change it to the 50% discount. You may NOT change existing 25%
    discount to a 50% discount. You must book a reservation with the 50% discount (if available)
    then cancel the 25% reservation.
You can use these #s to make reservations.
1-800-438-9876
1-800-458-2475
1-800-459-5432 (spanish)
1-800-492-6789

The best thing to do is ask everywhere.

As it stands now only sit down resturants and character breakfasts offer a 20% discount. Fast food
does not except for a 10% discount on pre-packaged food, soda, and coffee from the Gourmet Pantry.
I would still ask everywhere anyway. There isn't a discount on alchohol.

    TDS

    For part time and full time castmembers a total of four passports are given two times a year. They expire
    two years from issue date and are usually delivered to the castmember in June/July and December.

    Casuals are not given passports. Castmembers are also allowed to purchase up to 20 tickets through
    EARS at a discounted price. These prices are now just under what a MKC discount is. You are allowed
    to use them for your family and friends.

    I was also told that a casual cast member can get in with a driver's license and their temporary ID for free.

    As of the middle of February,2000 we are allowed to use our ID's to get into the main parks.

    WDW

    They give company tickets once in summer and once at Christmas. The number received depends on the
    number of dependents you have. These tickets have no expiration date. In addition, at Christmas
    they also get Christmas tickets. These are also based on the number of dependents you have and
    are only valid during the cast holiday celebration. Lastly, they also have a maingate pass which
    allows you 12 visits per calendar year. Each visit allows you to get in 3 guests (if you have more
    than 3 dependents, the number increases).

    Car Rentals

    National car rental offers a discount to castmembers but it isn't always the cheapest rate.
    The castmember needs to be the primary driver and I do believe that it is a 10% discount.
    My suggestion? (glad you asked) Call there first and tell the operator that you are a Disney
    employee (they aren't sure what a castmember is) and find out what the rate is and then
    shop around.

    National's phone # is: 1.800.CAR.RENT

    WDW Marathon

    in the children's dept. and are only available to WDW castmembers. (Note: They have a very strict
    refund policy. Unopened mdse even with a receipt only gives you a credit or exchange. Read
    the policy on back of receipt)

    Disney's West Side

    Several of the stores are owned by outside companies. They do however offer a cast discount. Ask when
    you go in as these may vary. I do know that the sunglasses place has a 15% discount for castmembers.
    These stores do not take the Disney credit card, as a matter of fact they don't even know what it is.

    Offers a 10% discount on Mondays.
