Cast Members discount question

[dadadisney]

Ok. Just give me a rough estimate on what I might expect for any discount on lodging for the first week of April for deluxe lodging with a cast members discount??? One of my parents work there(4 years) and we are coming down for the first time to visit/disney and this is an option we are just starting to look into.

I look forward to spending some time looking at this forum!!

Any tips with cast member discounts and what to look for etc...??

My best friend is a CM and with her staying with me, I got a 50% discount. I'm here right now and am staying BWI CL. I stayed GF RPC 4th of July week with the same discount.

If she doesn't stay with me, the discount would have been 40%.

The last time I took part in this program this was how it worked above.

And note - this is a discount on the room only.

Yup, this! Although sometimes there are special deals where the CM can get Friends and Family 50-60% off. Ask your parent to check the HUB online for those special deals.

Is the free dining discount available to cast members family when the cast member makes a hotel reservation?

In most months, they can buy reduced DDP plan.

Dadadisney I realize you've been here a while now, but Welcome to the Dis! Our dd was a CM for many years and the discounts rule. We especially loved the discounts on merch. Some discounts seem to be fluid though. Sometimes we didn't know what the % off was until we bought something and looked at the receipt. Have fun with CMs in the family
