CM discounts..

[DNA]

So what are the discounts CMs get? I just got hired and was told we get discounts on a huuuuuuge variety of things besides food and merch in the park. So what's up? What cool discounts are we privy to?

Re: CM discounts..

You get 20% on all foods and merchandise, except ODV.

Re: CM discounts..

You get 20% at all foods and merchandise locations with a cash register in either park (Matra?) (assuming you're in DLR).

No need to specify that ODV is out, since that detail is already included with this description.

Re: CM discounts..

up to 50% off hotels in WDW free admission to WDW and your sign in card is not used aginst you out there. 15% off booking on the Disney Cruise line. Discounts in Downtown disney, The Dennys on state college and some other local businesses

The Dennys on state college and some other local businesses

Remember, not the one on harbor, across from the park, they hate Disney, or Disneyland CMs, so I've been told.

Because we are THAT cool.

ODV has Matra at DCA, but we still don't do discounts, we don't what the mess with any coins smaller than quarters.

Re: CM discounts..

You will get 20% off on merch and food and 10% off on videos. Free entry into either of the parks everyday except for 4th of July and Xmas I believe. You also get free parking at the structure and if your NOT seasonal will receive a main gate pass.

Disneyworld hotel rooms are super cheap compared to normal prices and there a bunch of other discounts as well. Check out the hub portal to see exaclty how many you are eligible for. I know if you have Verizon Wireless you can get a 20% discount on your bills, phones, etc just to name one. There's discounts on restaurants (outside of Dland) and stores etc. Just check out the hub for all of them.

Yes, if your a CM don't EVER visit the jabroni's at Denny's across from Disneyland. The one on State College treats the CM's much better...plus you get a discount!

Re: CM discounts..

You also get a discount at the Denny's on Katella.

And wow, I didn't know ODV in DCA had Matra...

Re: CM discounts..

You can also pick up a booklet at the Team Center which lists all the discounts and locations.

Actually you're ID will get you into both parks for free anyday of the year. Unless specially posted, ie. Pirates Premiere. It takes a really special event to block CM's ids.

[Dan - Tasmic!]

Re: CM discounts..

I don't think so. I believe that the CM ID have blockout days as well.

[almandot]

Re: CM discounts..

what are the blockout days for signins in the winter?

[Dan - Tasmic!]

Re: CM discounts..

I believe from Dec 14 to the end of the year.

[fantoongal]

Re: CM discounts..

CM ID's are only blocked on specially posted days. Like the Pirates Premiere, the 50th kickoff & the actual 50th birthday.

In the 4.5 years I've been a CM, I've been in the park on all the major holidays. The only time I've ever had to buy a ticket for myself was to be in park on the 50th.

There are blackout days for the main gate pass, but not on the ID.

It sucks, never works, and i hate it, but yup, we have it. We have it on one cart at the big DL, also.

[Duffy]

Re: CM discounts..

yeah, ODV carts that use matra take credit cards though...

though not that much people use it... rather pay cash instead...

[surfbillab0ng]

Re: CM discounts..

credit cards take too long.
cash and the old ibm's were way better.
We tend to freeze the computer a lot.

Re: CM discounts..

I've managed to crash MATRA three times, and I've seen a register blue screen once.

[DLDCALVR]

Re: CM discounts..

Although, i have taken to having fun with matra, and just pushing random places on the screen. Doesnt do anything, and the guests think that ringing something up is a lot harder than it actually is.

It gets lonely out on the carts, i find ways to entertain myself.
