Can I book AAA rate directly through Disney?

[jalaine]

Our travel dates are 4/26/13-5/5/13 and I have our package booked directly with Disney. Not being sure if any discounts will be released for those dates, I called Disney yesterday and asked if I could get a AAA discount applied to our package since we have a AAA card, but WITHOUT booking through AAA. I've read some things on here that make me think people have done this???

But the CM I spoke with said in order to get a AAA discount, I would have to cancel my res. w/ Disney and have a AAA agent book it instead and then I would lose control over my res. directly which I do NOT want to do. Was she right???? She definitely seemed like she was trying to discourage me from moving my res. to AAA, saying that the price w/ AAA discount would essentially be the same and emphasizing that I wouldn't be able to have control over my res. then...

Was she right or should I call back to get another CM? She was lovely though and said discounts for 2013 should start coming out very soon...fall 2012 ish.
