AAA Diamond parking lot

[xyymom]

I got two vouchers to park in the AAA diamond lot from CAA (Canadian equivalent to AAA). Which parks should I use these at? Does anyone know if the lots are much closer than regular ones? Do they fill up easily? Anyone ever successfully used these vouchers???

If the Canadian passes are the same as the US ones, you can reuse them an unlimited number of times throughout the year. The parking lot CM will not take your pass. You don't have to "ration" your passes and save them for certain parks.

When you get to the parking lot ask the CM if you should park in the AAA section or if you would be better off in the regular parking area. If you arrive at the parks early the regular parking area can be more convenient than the AAA area.

Hi buckler,

It's a paper voucher, pink in colour.

Thanks for the tip that I may be able to use it again

It sounds just like the U.S. ones. You can see a picture of a US pass by searching on Ebay with terms like "AAA parking" or "AAA Disney". This will pull up auctions where people are selling these passes. At least one should have a photo so you can compare it to your pass.

When you park you just have to show your pass. You don't hand it to the CM.

Make sure to ask where to go at the booth where you pay to park-they'll direct you to the proper area. Otherwise, if you follow the crowd to where everyone is parking it may not be possible to get to the diamond lot! It is NOT worth it at MK. At all. Epcot and AK are pretty good. MGM is good assuming they've finished the construction in the lot. Otherwise it's no better than regular parking. You just put it in your dash and don't give it away. You still have to pay for parking (unless you're onsite or have an AP) but it does get you closer. We stopped using it except for epcot and AK though. The lots do usually fill up around midday and it's not possible to find another spot in that lot. I would only use it in the mornings. We used them and found them mildly helpful, but if you left it at home, it's certainly nothing to be upset about.

We thought they were very useful at all parks except the TTC (MK). It was an extra bonus when we were at the parks until closing. We were in a lot seperate from where most of the crowd was making for a quick exit.

We were there the first 2 weeks in August and the lots were never full, but close sometimes in the early afternoon.
