AAA and FASTPASS

[psimon]

We are taking a DL package through AAA. It actually came out a better deal than doing it myself (how odd is that!). Anyway, with it comes the AAA version of FASTPASS. According to what I read, you can get all the FASTPASSes you want all day long and stack them up, allowing you to go from ride to ride at will.

Has anyone use the AAA FASTPASS? How did it work for you? Did it work diferent that the regular FASTPASS? Thanks....

I had the AAA multi-Fastpass in Dec. 03. At that time, they were easier to get because you only had to buy your passes through AAA. I loved it! It works just the same as Fastpass does normally, except it's as though none of the rides are connected. If you pull a FastPass for one ride, you cannot pull another FastPass for that same ride until your time comes up; however, you can pull a FastPass for any other and all other rides offering FastPass. Therefore, at any given time, you can theoretically hold a FastPass for every ride offering FastPass. You cannot pile up FastPasses for the same ride though.

Depending upon when you are going, this can be a great perk. It looks like you are going in November. If you are going during a busy period (near Thanksgiving, or around Vet's Day, for example), you will really benefit from the multi-FastPass. I loved it so much that I made a point of booking my August trip at GC through AAA.

we used the aaa fastpasses in december when we stayed at the disneyland hotel and it worked great and saved us a bunch of time!

the way the fastpasses work (at least in dec) was you could get as many fastpasses as you want without waiting for the window that is printed on the fast pass (you know the statement on the fastpass that says next fast pass can be obtained at a certain time)- the only 2 down sides to this system is that 1.there has to be fast passes available which late in day can be problematic esp at the big rides like soaring and tower of terror 2. you have to abide by the time on the fast pass on when to return to ride

hope this helps

must you book everything thru AAA (hotel, airline transportation, tickets)
or can you just buy your tickets at 3A and get the fastpass option?
We already booked our airline, the hotel, but we don't have tickets as of
today - we will be in CA on July 26, leaving on the cruise July 30.
Family has never been to CA, and we are complete Disney fans, and know
it will be full at the parks....so I have this one question. Thanks. - Lucy

Does AAA offer this at WDW? What a perk!

You have to book a package & stay at 1 of 3 Disney hotels. The package does not have to include transportation & airline tickets, but it does have to inlcude the hotel.

No they don't. But I wish they would. I always book tickets & hotel seperatly when we go to WDW, but if they offered the fastpass option, I would consider a package.

We also booked our hotel/hopper tickets with AAA just so we can get all the fast passes at once. (DL hotel)We are going July 26-29 and wanted to be sure to see it all. It will be the first West Coast trip for my 2 teen boys and there are many different rides that WDW doesn't have! We are all excited about the trip and the AAA benefit. I'm glad that others have have used this and it works. Love these boards!

Can you book the tickets etc via the AAA website or only from an outlet? We have reciprocal rights through the AAA in Australia, so if possible to book via the USA AAA would love to know. Having trouble getting anything useful from their website. ANy help appreciated. Cheers.

Is this still ongoing because I checked the benefits of a package on the AAA site and it has free parking, early entry, free pin/lanyard and a couple of others but I didn't see anything about the Fast Pass thing. If this is the real deal I'm going to book very soon. Maybe I'll call or stop by AAA. I want this in writing before I commit. I'm still batting around the idea of getting an AP to get the GC for $219 but multiple FPs could really sway me.

If you follow this link to a random AAA site it is a limited time only (until April 26th) for the multiple fastpass. The benefit page for the summer looks identical on my New England AAA site but without the multiple fastpasses. I'm thinking this could be over.

I looked at that link and I take it as the special offer of kids prices for adults is for that time frame. We were told by our local AAA office that whenever you book room/tickets with them you get the multiple fastpass advantage. We are going at the end of July and this is why we booked with AAA. I would call your local AAA offices and find out.

I got a AAA postcard in the mail today, and it still advertised the multi-FastPass when booking an onsite package. I thought my AAA brouchere indicated that this was good for travel through Jan. 2006. I also thought I remembered reading that it was a domestic benefit only, so it may not be available to those from other countries (marvel).
