If you are a CM (disney employee), what kinds of discounts for resort rooms and theme park tickets do you receive? What kinds of resort rooms and theme park ticket discounts are you able to provide your friends/family per calendar year? I'm interested in becoming a CM and would love to know
I'm not a CM but my brother, sister-in-law, and my uncle all are. I was talking to my brother the other day and learned some of this and already knew some because of my uncle.
CMs get discounts varying from 25% to 40% on resorts depending on resort, time of year, and crowds. For the trip my family is taking next month my brother was able to get us a 40% discount at PO:RS.
CMs can get up to three people in a day (all at the same time). At first they can do so many times in, I believe, a six month period and eventually they can get three in a day with no usage limit (AFAIK). There are certain days that are blacked out for these passes (New Years for instance). They also get free tickets every so often, my brother told me yesterday that at the beginning of next month they will be mailing out to CMs 2 free tickets to use as they please except selling.
CMs get discounts on tickets to the waterparks and DisneyQuest. They also get discounts on merchandise, I can't remember the starting discount but eventually it gets to 35%. They can also get discounts on tours (brother is getting me a 50% discount for the Steam Trains tour).
I do not know about buying park tickets. I do not believe it is much as my aunt is buying a pass through
AAA for the fourth member of our party.
I too dream of working for Disney. Once I'm out of school I plan to move down there and get a job. There is a lot of room for advancement there as you name a job there is probably a position for that job at WDW. My uncle started out as a dishwasher at King Stefan's Table (now Cinderella's Royal Table) in highschool and now, many years later, he is a head engineer. I've heard of a number of people who's done similar things.
