Teacher Discounts?

[commdoc]

I noticed in another post someone referred to a "teacher discount". I've never heard of this. Is it always available? For all resorts? What if you are a professor at a college -- still a teacher, right?

Swan and Dolphin only - on Disney property but not owned by Disney. And yes, you're a teacher.

Thanks. You are fast! I appreciate it. One other question then - I see the Swan has it's own dining package - I assume then you can't get the disney dining packages if you stay there?

You're correct. You also cannot use ME to get to/from the airport.
