What are teacher discounts?

[Soupermom]

I keep hearing/reading about discounts for teachers. Can anyone fill me in on this or lead me to a resource? My husband and I are both school teachers and are interested in any discount we have coming our way! Thanks!

I know that there are discounts at both the Swan and Dolphin for teachers, but I don't know of any that are actual WDW resorts (as opposed to Disney hotels). I have learned over the last several years that most hotel chains give teachers the government rate if you ask when making reservations. Oftentimes for us, it is much less than the AAA rate. Holiday Inn does for sure, but I have asked at other hotels and gotten it as well.
