AAA Diamond Parking??

[clancydog]

Hello all...

Wondering if anyone knows exactly what the AAA members diamond parking is at the parks. Do you just show your member card or is it pass that you need to obtain from AAA.?

Thanks

I, too, am interested in knowing this.

Hi. We booked the FTP through AAA and they sent us a Diamond Parking Pass. They also gave us a Diamond Club Card. It gives some limited discounts. Now I'm not sure if you are a AAA member, if you can get this. Call them. We are members, but we also booked the FTP through them. You don't need to be a member to book a vacation with them, I believe. The price for FTP was the same as going through Disney, so we did it with them. Hope that helps some.

One word of caution about the Diamond lot for the Magic Kingdom -- it does NOT have tram service, and it is a bit of a walk. (5-10 minute walk, depending on pace)

Epcot and Studios are nice - very close to the entrance - next to the handicapped areas.

yes the MK is not a good area - then you have to ride the monrail or the ferry - take the MK bus (or monrail or boat) to the MK.

when you are at the entrance - show the CM your AAA and ask them where exactly to go

I think at Epcot you follow the green lines (might be red) - ask to be sure - at Studios it is really close to the handicapped.

Epcot get as far as possible in the left lane

Studios get in the right lane

Follow the green line at both Epcot and AKL.

MGM doesn't have a line to follow. Sometimes when you show the pass to the CMs at MGM they have you park at the end of a row near where the trams stop.

Hi!

We're driving to Disney and are considering joining AAA.

So can anyone tell us if you have to have ordered a package through AAA to get the Diamond Parking, or do you just have to be an AAA member?

Thanks

I think you have to book your vacation through AAA to get the Diamond Parking Pass. And you have to have that pass to park in their special lots. You might ask your local office for the pass, but I think they give it to their travel agency customers. Millions of people in the US are members of AAA. Not all of those members are eligible to use the lots.

I don't know if this has changed since 2000, I purchased our park hoppers from the AAA office and asked for the diamond parking pass and they gave it to me.

I was given one in Dec 2002 when I purchased tickets from our local AAA. It wasn't of much use since the pass stated that its use was blacked out during the holiday season.
