AAA vs. Codes

[mammomommie]

We are going 1/2/09-1/8/09. I booked Magic Your Way with Dining at the POP. No discounts YET. Now I patiently wait for codes for January right? Or is joining AAA a good deal I would join for a good discount. But I don't know if it would be as good as codes. Any ideas?

With AAA you'll save about 20% of the room's nightly rate. At a 100 rack rate, you'll save 20 a night. Still, there's a limit to the number of rooms and packages with the discount.

If a code comes out, you can apply it over and the price will then be the same. But if you go via AAA, you'll have to cancel your existing reservation and get a new one - which does not guarantee availablity.

Thanks so much that helped. I'm going to sit tight and wait for code. I am already booked thru disney. Does anyone know on average what the code will save me?

If you want to book a package (dining/tickets) and get the AAA room discount, you will have to book with a AAA office (you can only book an AAA room only discount through WDW).

All discounts are subject to availability and only a certain number of rooms are put aside for any discount.

If a code comes out that is better than your AAA discount package, your AAA agent will be able to switch to that code (assuming there is availability at the resort). Our agent did not have to cancel our existing reservation. She checked availability FIRST with the code and then switched our package over. Our confirmation number never changed.
