Resort Discounts

[Kim Styles]

As I read these board I keep seeing different rates and discounts mentioned. How do you get these? What does D C discount mean and where do you find these rates.

Clueless!

DC = Disney Club. This is Disney's loyalty scheme, whereby club members get a discount on certain things. To be a member you have to pay ($60?) so you would need to work out whether the savings are sufficient to cover the cost of joining the Disney Club.

A good place to start for WDW discounts is www.mousesavers.com This lists a number of discounts that are available to ease the cost of holidaying at WDW. The website is US-focused so not all the info is relevant, but some is. Other good places are right here on this board, and wdwig.com where you will find normal rates for WDW hotel rooms, DC prices and lots of other info.

The discounts on room rates that you have seen appear from time to time when WDW is trying to fill its vacant rooms. To take advantage of these your reservation must be direct with the WDW Central Reservations Office (CRO). You will not be able to access these discounts if you book a package with a UK tour operator.

Hope this helps.

If you would like help from a US travel agency so that you don't have to make long distance calls of book expensive packages in the Uk. Try www.ourlaughingplace.com

They can book for anyone anywhere.
