AAA and when to book the trip

[JStiffler]

I booked through AAA and got a room discount, then when the free dining came up during our dates, we switched to that discount and the free dining actually took $200 off the price. Sine we drove, we also loved the perk of the "AAA diamond parking." you pretty much park up front in every park except AK. You also get some vouchers, and a 10% discount at all Disney stores. Our travel agent was great for what we needed. I planned everything myself and made our reservations so I wasn't worried about needed that extra assistance.

How did you "switch"? Were you able to keep your original room? My AAA agent said that she would have to book another room and then cancel my original booking. There was nothing open so she couldn't do it. Is that correct???

Yes, I believe she had to change the reservation. I called the day the free dining offer came up and was able to get it. Maybe because I was going during the value season I was able to change.

We have MK fireworks reservations for our October trip. It is standing room only, but DD5 will have a stroller.
We did not book the story time because it is offered at Epcot and only certain days (Mon, Wed, Thurs I believe?)
