AAA AP Rates?

[CuteAsMinnie]

We are trying to decide if it is worth joining AAA if their AP rates are discounted.

Are they? I can not get the info from the AAA website unless I'm a member.


Thanks!

For Florida Resident AP it is $15 cheaper. You should be able to navigate their site without being a member. I am a member, but I didn't log in. You have to do some searching, but you should be able to do it. If not, call your local office and tell them you are thinking about joining AAA cause you are taking a trip what savings can you get by getting annual passes through AAA. It never hurts to ask, the worst they can tell you is that they can't tell you.

You can't buy an AP from AAA, only Disney. Well, at least you can't buy one from the AAA Carolinas branch.

A branch of AAA ("AAA South") sells WDW AP's.

AAA South" serves
Florida, Georgia, Middle & West Tennessee, and Puerto Rico.

But- You don't have to buy a AAA AP to get a AAA (or other) discount.

There is a way to buy AP's for Disney World and still get a "discount."
It's easy, but requires a few "steps" to accomplish.

Here's the deal:

First, find the absolute best deal you can on a multi-day MYW ticket from a reputable WDW ticket discounter.

You will want to choose a ticket to buy from the discounter that offers the most savings, but only on a ticket that costs
(at the WDW gate) LESS than an AP.

-----------------------------------------------------
Here are some popular, reliable links for info and/or tickets:

http://www.mousesavers.com

http://www.undercovertourist.com

http://www.ticketmania.com

http://www.mapleleaftickets.com

And, AAA travel offices can often be a good source.
-----------------------------------------------------

Buy your MYW ticket from the discounter.
(Likely the best deal will be on a ticket with a larger number of days on it.)

When you get to WDW, USE your discounted ticket to go into a THEME PARK at least one day.

THEN, go to any Guest Relations or Ticket Window at the park, TTC, or DTD.

Upgrade to an AP.

Since you have USED a day of your discounted ticket, you will receive the CURRENT GATE PRICE when you trade in your discounted ticket.

So...

You will get to "keep the discount" you got on the MYW ticket, but you will then be buying an AP as if you had paid full current gate price for the MYW you are trading-in.

Robo is a plethora of information, but in a good way. And is correct about AAA South.

I don't know, but I think my plethora may be starting to go bad.







(And, thanks for the kind words, Mom!)

I'm not sure how being a plethora of information can be a bad thing, unless it is in the form of Cliff Clavin...

"You know Norm, the real reason they only serve Nescafe at Walt Disney World isn't because of sponsorship, but it's made from the original crop that they experimented on in Living With The Land, which grew SO well they needed to find an actual use for it before it overgrew the property. And the name, 'Nescafe', actually comes from the local Seminole language, 'Neccafaree', which means, 'crappy bitter bean that grows in swamp'..."

I wish the DIS had a "like" button. This is great, thanks.
