2009 AAA Diamond Parking Pass Walt Disney World

[JoeCathyAngelina]

If anyone has a 2009 AAA Diamond Parking Pass Walt Disney World that they won't be using during the week of April 18th - April 25th; me my wife and daughter would be grateful if we could borrow it. I promise to return it or pass it along.
Thanks,
Joe

I am going in Feb, I would like to borrow it too, I could pass it on to you afterwards, via mail....................................!! I am going to go to AAA's office and see if I can get one, since we do a lot of buisness with them, maybe they will give me one, even though I didn't book through them. Has anyone ever gotten one without booking through AAA for Disney but being a current AAA member?

While I understand that some guests do give their parking passes to others, AAA has it written, on each parking pass, that it is 'non-transferrable, and not for sale'. So.....we aren't going to discuss any 'borrowing' of AAA parking passes. Other boards/forums may have other ways of dealing with this but this is how Transportation handles it. We act according to what AAA says.
Thanks for understanding.

 

[lisaanddenny]

is that your final answer?

We borrowed one from a friend when we went...returned it to them and they gave it to someone else so one pass was used at least 3 times. If this is the worse Disney sin we did that is fine...I think the worse ones are using reusable mugs, line cutting , seat saving, rude behavior, etc.

We were there at an off peak time and found several times we didn't even need it.


If I had one I would have no issue sharing.....

I was JUST coming onto to forums to discuss this and lo and behold, it's near the top of the forum list! I'm picking up a Preferred Pass from AAA that they set aside for me in a couple of hours, for our WDW trip that starts in 48 hours (01/17 - 01/24). Question: Can someone tell me if these AAA Preferred Parking spots fill quickly, and if so, any idea what time we'd need to arrive to take advantage?
Thanks to all!

AAA lot at Magic Kingdon does not fill up very fast. At epcot it does fill up quicker. If going in the afternoon you will probably be parking with the CM's. They have about 4 rows for AAA and disney dinning experience. Animal Kingdom has overflow AAA spots. they have ones that are marked and when they fill up they move it into the lot right before it. Hollywood Studios also has enough room. It all depends on the time you are going and how busy they will be. When we were there in March, they had no AAA parking because they were using it for handicap parking. the later you go in the day the harder it is to find a spot at Epcot and Hollywood studios.

Thank you! I'll go on the assumptiont that it's likely that there will be spots available. Thanks again for the info!

They are NONTRANSFERABLE and VOID if sold. Sorry

Yep.

I thought the AAA diamond parking passes were date limited... Are they issued without expiration? If so, then I want one. We bought our passes through AAA so we should more than qualify...

Most are not really dated. If you feel you are entitled to one, go back to your AAA office. It may be that you have to purchase a package with them though....not just park passes. But, I can't be sure.

IIRC, they are year-specific, but the WDW folks may or may not care about the year if you are "close".

Remember that AAA isn't just "AAA"---it's a fairly loose consortium of a bunch of regional "clubs". Each "club" seems to have its own rules about when it hands these out and when it doesn't. My club (AAA-MI) hands them out only if you book a package with them. Some clubs may hand them out with something as modest as a ticket purchase. You have to contact your local office to see what their rules are.

We are AAA members. If we purchase tickets through AAA do they give parking pass in?

 

[Brian Noble]

At the risk of repeating myself...

You should be able to get the parking pass if you buy tickets from AAA:

According to the Disney website: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/tickets/magicYourWayPackagesPopUp?id=AAATicketsFAQPopUpPage

Q. Is there a AAA Benefit available when I purchase tickets from AAA; (In Canada, is there a CAA Benefit available when I purchase tickets from CAA)?
A. Yes. When you purchase selected Walt Disney World® Resort tickets from AAA/CAA Travel, either on aaa.com or at a participating AAA Travel office, you receive EXCLUSIVE AAA Diamond Parking.*

EXCLUSIVE AAA Diamond Parking allows you to park in special AAA spaces available at all four Walt Disney World® Resort Theme Parks. (based on availability, voucher required, block-out dates apply)*

As with many other things, the Disney web site is probably not correct on this point. When last I checked (which was admittedly several months ago), AAA-MI will not hand these out just for a ticket purchase. I asked several different branches, several different times. They all said the same thing: you need a package.

I would print that and take it in. If Disney says that is how you get the tickets and it says so right on the website and you have a printed copy of it - I think it would be hard for them to deny you.

I'd hate to be the cars behind a person who is trying to explain to the CM why they're entitled to use AAA parking without having the parking voucher.

A few offices give them out if a member walks in and asks. Some will give them out if you purchase tickets. Many (probably most) only give them out if you book a package, or at least rooms, through AAA.

Print out that section and show it to your AAA office. Maybe that will motivate them to give you the voucher.
