I have already booked direct with Disney hotel, for 22 nights in Aug 2008.
I recently read a thread whereby AAA discounts can be applied by being a member of AA / ARC Europe.
Well today I phoned Disney reservations direct, quoting my reservation number and asking what discounts would be offered as I am a member of the AA
The sales person – who was extremely helpful – made lengthy enquiries both within Disney USA and Disney UK, and regretfully advised me that Disney did not offer a Discount for UK – AA members.
Looking on AA website http://www.theaa.com/membersclub/benefits/arc.html
This makes no mention of Disney discounts ( but it does mention Hard Rock.

Anyone else had the same problem………or better still……any mention of British AA discounts shown on OFFICAL Disney websites.
 
Yes, the AAA discount is available for UK AA members. You can call the AA and ask them to send you the ARC/AAA information pack. It contains a cardboard AAA card for use when you vacation in the USA. However, the normal AA membership card is perfectly valid because of the ARC logo on the back.

Did you phone Disney in the USA or the UK? If you called the UK reservations line then they will not help at all. You need to call CRO and ask if there are any "triple A rates" available. It's best it you do not mention the AA at all, as it will only confuse them!

You'll need to have booked your room-only reservation direct with Disney in the USA using $USD rates.

We used the AAA rate whilst AA members a number of times. Every time we just showed our AA card at check-in and it was fine. You don't need the membership number or anything to make the reservation.
 
Just ask for any"tripple a" discount.they get confused if you say AA or AAA,When you check in if they ask for proof of AAA membership,show them the back of your card.were there is a small arc logo,blue and red with some white in middle,thats all they need to see
Its the ARC which is affiliated with AAA,and the AA is afilliated with ARC.
so in turn any offers offered by AAA can be got by any firm affiliated ARC which ARC is QED:thumbsup2
So all you need to do when you phone is to Ask
" I have a booking (ref number) am enqureing if there is any tripple A discounts that could be aplyed to it,(wait for answer)if so could i please have it

Yes like paulh says, you must ask tor triple A rates , once you mention AA they do not know what you want and probably just say no they are not available.
I would call back and ask for triple A discounts, Not sure if Disney operates the same as Universal resorts, but they have only so many rooms available at Triple A rate.

What he said! :thumbsup2 :lmao:
 
I did phone Disney USA direcr, since I booked room only reservation by telephone direct.
When I asked about triple 'A' discounts, I am not sure if it was my broad Midlands accents, but the lady asked if I was a member. It was then, that I explained that I was a UK visitor, being a member of the UK association
I will try again tomorrow, calling 407-828-3232 and repost the outcome.

Thanks for your replies
 
I have called CRO quoting my reservation number and the cost was reduced by approx 8% with AAA discount applied, but was asked for the card number to add to the reservation :confused:

You can call the AA and ask them to send you the ARC/AAA information pack. It contains a cardboard AAA card for use when you vacation in the USA.

Does this AAA card have a contain a membership number, since I have not contacted AA for one yet :confused3

Have called the AA today and the assistant was not aware of any ARC/AAA info pack :confused3

Does this cardboard AAA have a serial number, since Disney are willing to offer a AAA discount, providing that I can supply a AAA number to add to my booking reference
 
they dont send out a AAA paper card any more,Just quote your AA number as that shoud do:thumbsup2
