Can anyone tell me about their experience booking a room through the AAA website? Do you have control of your reservation or does TA? I appreciate any advice you would be willing to share.

I do not want to use a TA, I want to have control of my reservation. I liked the price I was seeing on the AAA hotel box and wondered what kind of experience I would have booking it through the computer. I am trying to find a way to cut costs. If I have done my research correctly on the DIS then I should be be able to get a discount on my room if I make a room only reservation. If I buy my tickets seperately through AAA then I should be able to get a discount on those as well right? If I don't cut costs then there is no hope of going in 2009. I NEED to get to WDW!
I just joined AAA last week so that I could get there discount. When I called CRO to book room only ressies, I'm only saving $4/night. I'm going in June, which might have something to do with it, but come ON! It's almost not even worth it. My AAA office said that if I buy my hopper passes at their office I can save $11/adult ticket. I have heard of people having problems with packages purchased thru AAA and then when they want to change anything, they have a hard time doing so. Just do it yourself and then you don't have the middle man. I've always been very pleased dealing with Disney Reservations directly.
What price changes are you talking about? AAA discounts or room? The room rates for 2009 are already out. We are staying at POR and I definately booked the room myself. I have yet to book a complete package. I find it a better deal if I just pay for things a little at a time. And you're right, if I want to change or cancel my trip, as long as I do it 5 days before, there's no fee.
Thanks for responding.
I stand corrected....looking at my reservation from both September and August it talks about the 2009 rates being subject to change. I realize now they did come out....it's the codes that won't be out until Nov/Dec for January dates. Sometimes I really should sleep instead of write, lol. Sorry for the confusion.
AAA discounts/codes for June won't be out yet.....just the basic "rack rate" discount that AAA offers, so keep an eye out for POSSIBLE additional savings.
Does anyone have the phone number for making a room only reservation?
