If you have trouble veiwing this page, please switch to IE. Some of you who are using Netscape can not see past CO D. while others of you can. Since it is not consistant I am having trouble figuring out why. Some information is not filled in simply because I either do not know it or I can not confirm it.
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,
Remember this is NOT a Disney owned web site.
Also Disney is VERY strict when it comes to discounts, make sure you read the S.O.P.'s

It is in a big buildingthat 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 UniversityGo through the main gate where you pay for parking. (parking is free with your ID) Get over to theright 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 StudiosLocated 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. 1.407.560.4394EPCOT(Thanks Linda) The one in EPCOT is behind Mexico. There is an unmarked path to the right of theMexico 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 CenterMunincipal Drive 1.407.354.1891Property ControlOpen from 10am to 3:45 Monday thru Friday.
