AAA VIP Lounge
On weekdays everyone in your party gets a free soft drink at the AAA Lounge in Tommorrowland. I know it doesn't sound like much, but on a hot day its nice to know that your getting into the AC for a few moments.
AAA Diamond Parking
Depending on the season, and if you drive yourself to the parks, you get a closer parking spot!
AAA Luggage Tags one per person with Tink on them
The How To Guide A forty page booklet with park maps and general information on the parks, tips and package info.

To me, the savings alone with the AAA Diamond Card are worth it. (You do have to show your membership card and room key when using it.)

I hope this helps!!!

The AAA lounge in MK is a one time deal. You will get a voucher with your package and you need give them that to use the lounge.

Just an FYI -- if you ever go to Disneyland and book both an on-site hotel and park passes with AAA, you get the right to hold multiple fast passes at the same time.

We found out about this after booking directly with Disney reservations and using a senior citizen discount. I cancelled and rebooked with AAA, even though AAA's package was about $120 more for the 5 of us (3 adults and 2 kids). Since we only have 1/2 day at California Adventure and 1 full day at Disneyland and we are going in June (crowded), we figured that being able to hold multiple fast passes would allow us to go on almost everything that we want.
