Actually...it's not the sort of thing you should ask during the interview. Maybe when you get the job...
I think, certain hotels & certain airlines have mutual agreements-the airline employees get a discount because they house in-flight staffs during layovers. In exchange for the sheer volume of business the airline gives them, they give the airlines' workers a discount. As a purely hypothetical example, maybe United Airlines employees get a discount at Sheraton hotels and resorts, or maybe Continental has an agreement with Hyatt. But that's so the in-flight staffs--pilots, navigators, layovers, maybe air marshalls--can get rooms for a layover, no matter where in the country they are. And in exchange, maybe those hotel's employees get discount on airfare. But since Disney doesn't own hotels all over the country, I'd think it unlikely they'd extend that kind of discount, because, frankly, there's nothing in it for them.
But hey, maybe over on International Drive...

I would think that you would not receive any discounts on airfare. Discounts/preferred rates are usually reserved for airline employees and travel agents who are actually selling and promoting the product. I would not bring up this subject in your interview, it is considered poor form.

Disney is alittle conservative with their interline discounts. You may get something with cruiselines and hotels though. A friend got a really good discount on a cruise and he works for UPS as a truckdriver. Since UPS is also a registered airline he was eligible for interline rates. Hes not eligible for disney at this time but they do continuously add companies to the list of places where he can get a discount. Type interline discounts into google and do some research, you might be able to find a discount, probably not in disney though. Try the swan and dolphin too since they are not run by disney they might be applicable.

Most certainly....yes, it's not appropriate to ask this during the interview.
