AAA Discount for tickets? --Updated 4/13--

[momof2lilboys]

4/13 -- Just wanted to update that I went into the AAA office (Oklahoma) today and the ticket prices were cheaper by $57 (for the 4 of us) than undercover tourist.
Adult 2 day Park to Park was $127.11
Child 2 day Park to Park was $117.06
That is the complete total tax and all. You can pick them up in the office or have them shipped. I think shipping was $5? So it pays to check out their prices. I know this varies from state to state. Just wanted to pass along what I found out.




I'm looking to buy our 2 day park to park tickets and was wondering if AAA has a better discount than undercover tourist? If so I'll renew my membership with them. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

AAA has different offers at different times. I suggest you give your local office a call and check what their current deals are.

Right now, it's a smidge cheaper to do UT than to do Bluegrass AAA (KY) for 2 day tickets. 3 day tickets are cheaper at AAA.

A bonus to AAA is that you can pick them up NOW instead of waiting for UT to mail them. I don't know if time is an issue with you.

Time's not an issue but that's good to know! Thank you!

Just wanted to update incase it helps anyone else. AAA Oklahoma had these prices for 2 day tickets 2 Adults and 2 kids.
2 Day Park to Park - Adult: $127.11
2 Day Park to Park - Child: $117.06

So it looks like it will be cheaper for me to use AAA.

Keep in mind UT prices include tax and shipping

Yes the aaa price includes that as well at least what I was told when I spoke to the aaa rep.

Must vary by office, because here in PA they didn't include the tax on them at AAA

You might want to double check because when I filled out the online form, the taxes were not included.

Maybe I got a clueless rep lol! I'll defiantly look into it more before I buy I appreciate the heads up! The shipping price is for sure added into the total but I'll double check that tax is included in the total I was given. I asked them price per ticket and total with tax and shipping I would be charged and that was the total given but if it sounds too good to be true it normally is At least in my case!

I am also thinking of buying my IOA ticket through AAA. I saw from another thread that the print at home paper ticket may have some drawbacks as it is not sturdy. Anyone know if the ticket purchased from the AAA store is like what I'd get at the park or do they simply print out a paper ticket there?

Both Undercover Tourist and AAA had paper type tickets.In fact most of the ones I had seen were paper

It does vary by office. AAAsne had the following for 2A/2C 2 day park hopper:

$134.13 adult
$123.48 child
TOTAL: $515.22Subtotal

Shipping First class would be an add'l $5.

A bit cheaper for me through AAA Midwest as well.

$136 2 day/2 park adult
$126 2 day/2 park child

Includes taxes and shipping.

So can you buy from any AAA online or do you have to use your local office?

If the prices vary that much from state to state it sounds like it would be worth shopping around.

I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth it for us to join AAA. We just got an offer in the mail for membership, but would we make up the diff in tix savings?

I usually buy from UT (sometimes I get 6 day hops, then upgrade to DVC APs)

Update - got my tickets at the AAA office and received the cardboard tickets. I'm glad I went to the office instead of printing them at home just because of the sturdiness of the ticket, not even sure how the price compares but it's probably within a dollar. Bought 1 day, 1 park passes and paid $87.50 per adult, $81.50 for child - that includes the tax. Office in Tysons, VA.

So can you buy from any AAA online or do you have to use your local office?

I'm curious, as well, if anyone knows the answer to this.

Our AAA office charges $140.99 for 2 day Park to Park tickets. For just another $6 per person, we can get 3 day P2P tickets through UT. Not sure if we'll get 2 day or 3 day tickets.

I got our tickets from our local AAA office and the price included the tax. We usually buy our tickets through them and for the first time we got computer printouts with our name on each ticket. Our office said they are phasing out the cardboard tickets and when they sell them all they are gone. Not sure if this is all AAA or just here in CT. Our price was $134 for the 2 day park to park tix so the tax was built into the price.
