My daughter has gotten CM discounts at CBR and POFQ. I think CBR comes up every time she checks availability for us. French Quarter not as often but she was able to get us a room for early June this year.
Just wondering how early CM room rates come out, and how fast do they fill up once they do come out?
I start my program in July and have people hoping to visit in late July or late August; would it even be possible to find a CM room at that time? if they are out right now what does the discount look like?
Sorry for asking so many questions, I just have no idea how this all works.
Thanks!
My daughter is starting her fall advantage program in June and we have a trip planned in July at POFQ. I have heard that the cast member discount can only be used at two moderate resorts, PORS and CS, can anyone confirm this, is there a difference in discounts at different resorts. I have AAA discount now at POFQ, but want to switch resorts ASAP so I get my room preference. Any help would be appreciated, I was also thinking of AKL, so wondering if that resort was also available for CM discount.
Thanks
There should be plenty of availability then...especially late August. This is just from personal experience as those are slower times and my daughter has gotten us great discounts then. The inventory comes and goes but there is usually a pretty good variety.

We are looking for 2 day Disney World for the end of this month. I have found 3 etickets on ebay. When I read the bottom of the ticket, it says that they are Complimentary CM tickets. 2 Questions--Is it wise for me to buy these?(will I be able to use them?) and Can I link them to my MagicBand before I arrive in Disney or do I have to wait until I cash them in at a ticket booth? Thanks for any help!!

My daughter starts DCP on May 19 and will stay through January 7. We are hoping to visit the week after Thanksgiving. Since she is going to be gone for so long, the entire family is planning on going which will end up being a total of 18 people needing 5 rooms. Is there anyway that she can get that many discounted rooms? If not, what is the limit. We also are used to doing the whole dining plan package thing- can you add the dining plan even if a F&F dining plan offer is not available and if so do you have to buy your park tickets through Disney or could we get them elsewhere?
She is allowed to make up to 5 reservations per calendar year (that she is a CM) for friends and family of which she is not a part of the reservation. So if she is staying in the room with you, she could potentially make reservations for 6 rooms. BUT then she is done unless she stays in the room on the future reservation. Does that make sense? And Keep in mind if the reservations are all at different resorts, she will have to go to each resort and show her CM ID before they can check in. She can do this up to 10 days prior to arrival.
