I'm using the Teacher discount for my upcoming trip and I was wondering if any of teh budget board peeps would know this... Would I need to bring my teaching certificate or a recent payroll stub.

I just need to know so that I can make a copy of my teaching certificate.

Thanks!!!!:cool1:
 
I read this when I looked at the law enforcement discount...but I am retired

Next we look at Discount Seasons and 2007 pricing rates for each specific Discounts time frame .(Special note the dates below are not the actual available discount dates just the parameter for what the actual pricing during each time frame will be for the available dates that fall in the different season dates.) Example January 2 falls in the time frame of value season January 1- 10. The only date within that time frame that a discount for AAA, AARP, AP or Entertainment is January 2. No other dates are available.

Yeah, I've looked but the problem is I've heard mixed answers so I just wanted to get a feel for what people are having to show recently.

Thanks for the help!!
 

I have done the teachers discount in the past. They did ask me for proof of being a teacher. I showed my ID card and that was enough.

How much of a discount to teachers get? (I sub).
I got a $169 a night rate. My dates are being quoted without discount at $289, don't know the percentage but that's nice!!

We don't get ID cards. Just pay stubs and my certificate. I guess i"ll take my pay stub from last week. Thanks!!
 
That sounds good. Just bring something that has your name and a school name. I think paystub would work great. You could black out any pay information if you wanted.

hmmm...let us know how checkin goes:wizard:

DIL called Swan as to eligibility DS has teaching certificate & school ID (although he's currently not teaching but; only coaching)...they said all he'd need is the ID...no paystub required.:confused3

wonder if you only need the certificate if you don't have an ID?:confused:

middle DS just got hired as police officer, so he'd need his ID/card & a paystub when checking in (no paystub)???

Anyone know how many rooms you are eligible to book @ these rates (so they could take another couple with them)? Was wondering if they allowed 1 or 2 additional as the cruiselines sometimes do?

I think you can book several rooms at the rate. When I called to make the reservation she asked me how many rooms I would need. I guess that would mean I could get more than one room at the discounted rate. :)
 
thanks, DS was wondering if he could invite some buds along.:thumbsup2
 
I just called and was told a teacher discount was not offered. Is there a code for this or something I am missing?
 
We stayed at the Dolphin for 3 nights this summer on my teacher discount.
I wasn't even with DH at check-in...I was outside with the valet.
DH wasn't asked to show proof of ANYTHING.
 
We went last March with teacher's discount. I brought my check stub and ID, but they didn't ask for anything. I loved the Dolphin! The pool area is awesome.
 
A teacher friend of mine who had lived in Florida told me last year when I was planning a trip to check into the teacher discounts that Disney offers. I think I emailed Disney to ask how to find out about teacher discounts and I was informed there were no special discounts for teachers.

It is just myself and my DD11, so we stayed at the All Star Movies which was very reasonable. We will probably stay at Pop this go around. Just for two of us, there is plenty of room. But, there is an offchance that a friend and son will be joining us and we might want to look at a bigger room.

Are there only specific hotels that offer the discount for teachers? Where would I need to call and verify the information?

Thanks for any help!
 
Swan/Dolphin (not being owned by Disney) are the only ones in WDW offering a teacher discount. They may not offer it on all dates or the dates you want may be sold out of teacher discounts. This is much like the AP rates and Fl res. rates which can go quickly. Check their website for specific dates avail. or here on the Swan/Dolphin thread on the resorts board -- which lists the dates discounts are available and I believe some kind Disser updates it.

I showed my school ID at check in when we stayed at the Swan. I had my paystub with me too, but they did not ask for anything more.

You have to call the Swan or Dolphin directly, you won't get it through Disney ressies.

If you called Disney ressies you would not have gotten the discount. you have to call the actual hotel directly.

I just came back from using the discount and was not asked for anything.
