AAA Tickets vs. Military Discounts

[Katybug236]

I was wondering if anyone knew the price of a 4 day hopper pass with AAA discount? I received a quote of $214 from the Dept of Def. but was wodnering if AAA offers something better.


(I had to email a request in and figured you guys would be able to get me a quicker respose)

On their web site a 5 day park hopper is $260 for an adult with the AAA discount.

The military discount is a lot better.

Go to www.aaa.com - type in your zip code, and check prices for your local motor club. Prices vary at the different motor clubs, but I doubt any will be as low as the military rate. Also check www.ticketmania.com With the new Magic Your Way tickets...additional expiring days are only a few $ more per day after 4 days, so feel free to buy a ticket for arrival and departure days.

According to the chart at All Ears Net - the military rate for an adult 4-day park hopper is $233, and the gate price of a 5-day at WDW is $254.54: http://allearsnet.com/pl/ticketchart.htm Maybe the AAA rate includes some plus features.

Both AAA and Military are the same discount from Disney's published prices. However, AAA must charge the 6.5% sales tax and those issued by the military do not have tax added. Disney, of course, always quotes their prices without tax in published materials.

oh jeez! I just emailed a friend of mine who works with AAA and didn't even think about the website. Idiot hour is now upon me

Looks like I'll be going with the quote I got via Dept of Defense.

I don't think the Dept. of Defense price you got is for a park hopper! Looks like their price for the 4-day expiring BASE TICKET is $213. The park hopper is $233. Check again.

I just called my dad (who works for the Dept of Defense) and he was reading the magazine they get (pub. feb 2006) and it said 4 day park hopper for $214 total

I got a little paranoid so I made him read off to me what he was looking at.
Oh well. regardless it looks better than AAA

Thanks for all your help! It is appriciated!

If that's correct, then it's a really good price!
