It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow: Cast Member Discounts

I know I have a post on here in my general F.A.Q. that covers some of the discounts that Cast Members happen to get but I thought I would make a separate post as well so it was easier to find. I will state right now these are for Disney Cast Members, and third party operating participants are different depending on their contract with Disney. Also as a note these are subject to change, but here are some of the discounts.
  • Free parking at all theme parks when you show your Blue ID
  • 20% of Disney merchandise (10% for videos and DVDs), and this goes to 40% off during the holiday season
    • Includes Alex and Ani, Pandora, Vera Bradley, and Dooney and Burke
  • 50% of water park tickets during the peak season (it is free during a certain period, and if you work at a water park it is free year round for both Typhoon and Blizzard)
  • 20-40% of certain dining locations (although to be clear they add an automatic 20% for gratuity) 
    • You can view all of the locations that offer the discount on the hub
    • I also posted some below at the end of the blog
  • Cruise line discounts up to 50% sometimes (although you have to be a Cast Member for 90 days prior to getting the discount)
  • Resort discounts at Walt Disney World and Disneyland 40% off without a CM on the reservation, and 50% off with the CM on the reservation. 
    • This discount can also go up to 60% off during the holiday season as well, so keep an eye out for that. 
  • Some apartments off discounts for Cast Members such as 10% off rent, waiving the application fee, and etc. so always ask if you are looking!
  • Some local business give discounts or some sort of Cast Memer perk, so just ask especially n the Orlando area. As a note these are subject to change at anytime, but I will try to keep these updated.

**These are updated discounts as of May 25, 2016 from the Hub





























***Dining Discounts from the Hub as of 2016



These ticket prices are updated as of May 2016 from the Hub


There is probably a lot more discounts I missed, but obviously Disney has a lot if you had not noticed. So always take full advantage of them especially if you are only staying with the company temporarily.


Also I will be adding more once I know all the new locations at Disney Springs that will include a Cast Member discount.
