Aarp Discounts?

[dr28326]

Thought I saw some talk about Disney working with AARP for some senior discounts. Anyone hear anything else about this?

Occasionally people post asking about the discount. However I doubt anyone has heard of that discount being offered by WDW. That would be news to many I think.

there was an article in last months AARP's bulletin about them working with disney for packages for their members.

you can read more about it, as it is still in the planning stage, on their web site.

it sounded like a deal in the making when i read it.

If you are a member of the American Association of Retired Persons, Walt Disney World is in the process of offering you exclusive discounts and benefits.

The AARP has announced it will work with Walt Disney World during the next few months to find ways to attract older adults.

News 13 asked a few local seniors in Lake Mary what might get them out to Disney World.

"If Disney wants to get the locals out, I guess you all might have to consider some lower cost opportunities for us," said Sandra Ogrean, of College Park.

"Maybe put together a day for the seniors where -- you know, we're already on Social Security -- if we could go over there and be able to spend a day, or maybe a half day at Disney," suggested Angelica Velilla, of Sanford.

Here is what might happen for AARP members:

You could get discounts on merchandise from disneyshopping.com.
Unique experiences at Epcot's Food and Wine Festival, and Flower and Garden Festival.
Special initiatives for grandparents.
The only thing that has been confirmed is this new relationship between AARP and Walt Disney World.

Once the offers and discounts are finalized, they hope it will be the way to bring grandparents and their grandkids together.
