Is this for discount for annual passholders only? We will be there during this time and would like to take advantage of it, if possible?

The discounted room rate and 35% off merchandise is for annual passholders only.

It's not at the theme parks only, it's just poor exclusionary wording in the terms. Unless you have seen something I haven't, it's valid on the exact same products at the 40% off (and there aren't many exclusions).

The 50% cast member discount through Nov. 16th is only at the parks. I made the mistake of going to World of Disney to do some Christmas shopping and the discount was 40%, yet when I made a purchase at the Studios it was 50%.

"50% discount - Sunday, October 26 - Sunday, November 16, 2008 (only at Theme Parks; offer not valid at Downtown Disney® Area, Resort or Off-site locations)"

I'm an idiot, you're right. I reread the exclusions, which say "...Downtown Disney, resort hotels..." I didn't see the comma between the two, I thought it was saying "Downtown Disney resort hotels", meaning those non-Disney hotels in the DtD area. Thanks, good call!
