Where/how do you get discount codes

on on-site accomodations? I've seen on this board some of you have those. Are they because you belong to the DVC? Or for the Disney-visa card holders? Or are they available for just anyone?

Are discounts available for other things, like shopping? Or in Disney restaurants?

In peace,

Usually mousesavers.com is one of the first sites to announce codes. It seems that (no guarantees, not always, but it seems to me, lol) a code will come out for Disney Visa cardholders and then a week or so later, the same discount is available for the general public. At that time, you call WDW reservations and ask them to apply the discount to your reservation. You may have to choose a different resort, but that's never happened to me. They only offer a certain # of discounted rooms at each resort for any given date of stay.

I've never seen any discounts for shopping or anything else, but it would be nice!

That would be nice, Steph, thanks for the info!

This time we're off-site, but maybe next time ...

I'm glad you asked this question and I can't wait to see all the answers/suggestions. I always thought the codes were only for Visa holders and we don't have one, don't plan on getting one.

We've had our December trip (first-time family) booked since April and I'm very close to calling them and paying our balance. After seeing this, I went to Mousesavers and see there is a discount code that "could" work for me. So can I just call Disney and ask them if that code can apply to my reservation? Do the codes apply to reservations made with a travel agent or will it also work with Disney directly?

Even if the discount is only 10%, I'd be happy to save that much, ya know?

yes, you can just call and ask as long as a trave agent did not make your reservation for you! I paid my trip off and the very next day found a code that would work! I calle dthem, they looked it up, applies the cade! I saved enough tot not only upgrade my room, but still got back over $175!!!

Just keep looking! I found mine over on the disboards!!

Just wanted to add, that if you did book through a travel agent, the agent can have the code applied for you (if rooms are still available).

Woo hoo!!! I called last night and gave them the code I got from Mousesavers and it worked! We saved $261, which is awesome. That's a plane ticket for us :).
