Discount for police?

[WDWSuperFan]

I am trying to help a friend and family plan a trip to WDW. He is a policeman and I was wondering is there a discount that I can let him know about?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Don't believe there is one for police. There is the pay for 4 and get 3 free deal.

Nope. But government employees and nurses get a discount at the Swan and Dolphin resorts.

Thank you for the replies! I did not remember seeing anything about it on the boards, but I thought I would check. They are wanting to go in December, so we will just keep watching and hoping for good deals!

The only discount for police (government employees) are at the Swan or Dolphin.

AH, not so fast!!!!!
TRUST me. If you are a Police Officer or Firefighter ALWAYS when you book "ask" for a discount.
Sometimes, you get what you ask for....it all depends on the person at the other end.
In my experience...i get a little discount or a free upgrade 50% of the time.
Its not talked about but discounts CAN be had.

thanks edwardfire,
I will tell him to ask, when they call to book. Maybe they will have a great cm on the other end that can help.

I stayed at the Swan in 2008 and received a police discount. Swan and Dolphin openly give a law enforcement discount. We are going again in 2010 but would like to try a moderate Disney resort and if you hear of any police discounts at these type resorts please let me know.

Thank you.

Swan and Dolphin offer a government discount. Which as a police officer...you can receive. As police officers are federal, state, or local governement employees.

I would definitely check the Swan/Dolphin rates if I were them. When I look up rates in September there are rooms as low as $129 a night with the teacher/nurse/government employee discount. My DH is a firefighter and a nurse and I'm a nurse...we got a great deal through a TA for the Poly, but I'm hoping to get a one night stay at the Swan/Dolphin under a discount when they put their rates up for October.

Otherwise check and see what other deals are going on. As some people have mentioned the 4/3 deal is going on and there is talk of free dining happening sometime in August and September.

Just know the Swan/Dolphin doesn't allow you to be on the dining plan and there are extra fees such as parking your car and a $10 resort fee for water, use of the gym, etc.

HTH!

Ya know...for all the business you probably give to them there should be a discount! How many couples have chosen Disney as their honeymoon?? Just a thought.

On the subject of police officers and firemen getting discounts...In my opinion anyone who puts their life on the line for me and would run into a fire to save me should stay FREE..never mind a discount.
