Any Perks at WDW for Disney Shareholders?

Good luck with that.
Most shares (millions) are owned by huge retirement plans. It was several of them that got together to force Eisner out. On the plus side the company has been doing well and the share prices/value has been increasing.

Hardly any perks to being as passholder as well. And what perks they have are being reduced.

No perks. But I suppose you can feel like you own a little bit of the parks.

I have nearly 9 shares and I've always wondered this! I told my mom I'd sell them for barely a night at the GF but she wouldn't let me

There used to be. It was called Magic Kingdom club it was also available to large corporations who paid into it. You got some the same perks as a Passholder. That disappeared about 10 years ago or more.

I wish! My husband owns several hundred (the result of reinvesting since he was a child in the 1970s.). And my kids have tons more in their college IRAs. I only own a few, but would love some perks, but I guess I'll have to settle for being more than happy with the results of the investment.
They do a rockin job with that perk.
ETA- that's neat about IBM. I literally just looked at their stock. I've always wished Apple offered a discount to shareholders, but once again I'm stuck with just the 'results' perk (which with Apple isn't too shabby! )
ETA-(again!). I think they should offer 'I come here so often to protect my investment' buttons to the shareholders. :-D. Because clearly that makes totally logical financial sense. Maybe then my friends would stop teasing me.

Don't think Disney's gonna comp a room at GF, Contemp or Poly any time soon... with a total of 6 shares, you're not considered a heavy player.

This is very true. Hardly worth buying the annual if you don't got 4X a year.

You are eligible to attend the shareholders meeting each year (if you can find it). And receive any applicable dividends. That's about it. You might get punch and cookies at the meeting though....

I LIKED John Carter! I feel like I'm the only one...

I am a little late on this thread but I am a new member and found this while running a search. We purchased Disney stock because we were Disney fans. Once we got the shareholder info we learned of the perks. During "off" season you could get discounts of 40% at places like the Contemporary and Polynesian and 25% at the Grand Floridian. A book was published by, I believe, Birnbaum that advised people to buy "one" share of stock and save bundles at WDW. Soon after the prize goose had a stroke and golden eggs were not even good for omelets.
