It all depends on the cast member..I HAVE received the same discount as aaa members would get, Im a professional firefighter but im NOT a member of aaa. Whenever i book my vacation and then check in i mention to the c.m. about my profession...SOMETIMES i get a discount and sometimes i dont. If i dont, i DO NOT argue. I just take it when they say YES

Do yourself a favor, Ask about a discount due to your profession. You may just get it. Like i said, sometimes they give it to me and sometimes they dont. It doesnt hurt to ask.
P.S. Intercot has a strick policy of NOT allowing "ways to beat or cheat" the system at Disney. Im NOT suggesting either, Im just saying asking for a discount certainly doesnt hurt., Shawn
