AAA Parking

[OCDPlanner]

Where are the AAA parking spaces in each of the parks (WDW, Universal, etc) Are the close enough to enter the parks without having to board the tram? If not, are any of the trams handicap accessible?

Thanks guys

We used the AAA parking at all of the WDW parks last September, and had no problem walking to the parks. But the crowds were light the week that we went.

AAA Diamond parking is easily close enough to not need the tram, good thing, too, because the tran doesn't stop there.

You have to have booked with AAA to use the parking.
No there are not accessible trams that is why they have handicapped parking area, do you have your hang tag? if you do you can use the HC parking area.

I was trying to figure out if the proximity if the parking spaces warranted the cost of joining AAA. I don't have a handicap plague as I am not "legally" disabled and don't use an ECV at home.

Thanks for the info.

I just bought my park hopper passes from AAA a few days a go. They gave me a pink paper to stick on my dashboard for the parking spots. I was thrilled because the park prices have not increased at AAA yet!! I thought it was going to cost me an additional $40 for tickets.

I didn't have to book through AAA to get the parking paper. I believe you only have to be a member to get it...

I don't think anybody answered this yet so...

At MK, AAA parking is to the right of the handicapped parking. It's a little bit of a hike, but not bad.

At the Studios, they always seem to move AAA parking. Sometimes they'll just put you on the end of a row for easier access, but you sometimes have to take the tram depending on when you get there.

At Epcot, I think it's the 2nd row of parking near the kennel. There is a front parking lot that isn't used, so actually it's the 2nd row behind that.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

Actually, AAA ticket prices went up several weeks ago.

Also, you're only supposed to get the AAA parking pass if you either book your trip through AAA or buy your park tickets from them.

I guess I was lucky with my ticket prices. They were the same price as they had posted back in October...

We bought our April park hopper tickets at AAA and when I asked about AAA parking, she told me that it doesn't exist. Should I go back and ask about this -- is the parking a lot easier for AAA? Is it only available in certain regions? We live in Georgia and were a AAA South office.

Thanks,
Kim

I bought my tickets through AAA and I got a Diamond paarking pass. You are supposed to get it when you book through them or if you buy tickets from them. They originally forgot to give it to me, so I called them and they dropped it in the mail for me (so I would not have to bundle the baby back up and take her out to get it.) I would call and press the issue with them.

kabauer,

Yep, sounds like you lucked out! See: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=509370

justKim,

It's a national AAA program. I'd go back and ask someone else.
