AAA tickets v. UT / Disney

[CyndiLooWho]

We are planning a visit to WDW in June, and I am looking at ticket prices. UT and Disney both have tickets available that are good as long as they are activated by 12/31/2018. My local AAA is cheaper, but they are adamant that their ticket prices are not good for next summer. Does that sound right? I always thought you bought the ticket and then activated when you got to Disney. How would Disney know when it was purchased (the AAA tickets are supposed to be good in May but not June).

It is about $100 cheaper for the 4 of us to get AAA tickets if they stay this price.

1. My local AAA is cheaper, but they are adamant that their ticket prices are not good for next summer.
2. Does that sound right? I always thought you bought the ticket and then activated when you got to Disney.
3. How would Disney know when it was purchased (the AAA tickets are supposed to be good in May but not June).

1. That has never been true in the past.
Doubt that it is now. (But, I can't tell from my end of cyberspace.)
2. Nope. (The AAA employee MIGHT not be properly informed.)
3. Disney actually prints and distributes their "third party" tickets.
They would know (at least) when those tickets had been printed.
