I am waiting to book a trip through a friend who is a CM. Did the discount come out yet?

The regular CM discounts for 2015 are out. We got ours for 40% off from our CM family member for early January.

I thought there was a special holiday one.

Holiday book is not out yet. Should be out soon though.

Yes, that is what I am talking about. Do you know what you get in that book?

The cm will get some tickets for free popcorn and soda and 3 tickets they can exchange for extra food discounts (30%, 40% and 50%). There is also an extra main gate that has an admission for the cm and 3 guests to Disney quest, one of the water parks and an extra park hopper. The rest is basically rules to the automatic discounts which are the room discounts (up to 60% if cast is staying and up to 50% if it is just friends and family) as well as the cast's 40# off merchandise discount. The merchandise and dinning discounts have to have the CM there to use and the merchandise discount can only be used when the cast member pays.

We are currently booked at SSR Dec 7-14 with my daughter who is in DCP at 50% off. We were hoping to add the dining plan at a discount. How likely is that and when would we usually hear about the discount? If its not discounted and we are all at the same table service, does her dining discount apply?

Dinning plan discounts should be with the packet as soon as they go out.

As long as the CM is at the table you can use the discount (standard 20% with auto 18% tip) or if she already has her booklet she can redeem one of the 3 coupons as long as they aren't blacked out and are valid for that meal. She does not have to be the one paying she just has to have her ID.

Also have her check the hub as they sometime release a list of places having extra CM discounts. My friend just treated up this weekend to Captains Grill because it was the last day for 40% off there.

Also just an FYI some CMs feel like they get less than adequate service if their server knows before hand they are a CM. The best tactic is to wait to the end to mention your CM discount that way the server has no clue they are auto getting an 18% tip.
