I recently posted we were waiting to book our trip because my cousin is doing the internship starting in Aug...so far this is what she told us...
free parking........
40 percent discount if she purchases for us and 3 or 4 park tickets per season...another friend her sister did it at
Disneyland and she said it's black out dates and she said she could just walk her family in the park without using tickets....so is there anything else?
PP posters are correct on
tickets, just to verify that you must have tickets, you can not be walked in without them. It's possible the friend didn't understand that the CM sister was scanning them in with her main gate passes. Note the CM must go in with you at the gate, they can not hand you tickets to go on your own so be sure they are scheduled with work to go with you through the gate. Consider the black out dates before you book if you are dependent on tickets. They can purchase tickets but discount is minimal and I did better using ticket broker.
Free parking comes with staying at a Disney Resort OR riding with the CM. If you are staying offsite, unless she is with you then you can not get free parking.
40% - not sure you are talking resorts or buying things since you are saying "purchases."
- Yes
rooms can be booked for you at 40% off but it's not an across the board any resort you want at any time. The discount is to fill rooms so once you have dates she can check which resorts have rooms and how much the total price will be. My DD has been there 9 mos and in 5 trips not once was a room open that I wanted or wanted to spend the money on. It was almost all deluxe. She has used her discount when friends visited a couple times.
- If you are talking
purchases then the normal discount is 20% and she has to pay for it. Can not use your credit card. There will be holiday discounts of 40% off for a time before and after xmas to allow for fall and spring DCP to get the discount. DD window shopped all fall then made purchases during the 40% off.
Dining is 20% on food. Of course CM has to be there but they will let anyone pay. There are periodically 40% discounts on eating that will be published monthly I think. It is a handful of locations, usually at resorts and often does not include dinner. And sometimes other specials like DD got a great rate at HDDR for late show. We had 40% lunch at Grand Floridian Cafe, Captain Grille, Olivias...
