Advantages to Booking Through AAA?

[Tigger&Belle]

I feel like a total novice with all this, in spite of the reaction from the CM from reservations had when he looked up how many times I've been to WDW.

In the past I've either gotten good AP rates or at least a good room only discount. This time there aren't room only codes and I don't have an AP. With the new package deals and the dining, I'm considering a package for the first time.

I got the rate for a package with the current 6 nights/7 days offer through 407-W-DISNEY. Seems like a pretty good deal. What are the advantages of booking through AAA? I don't plan to rent a car so the AAA parking pass won't do me any good. Any other perks if I book through AAA?

Thanks!

I'm going to bump this back up and also partially answer my own question. I just got a quote back from AAA and see the cost is the same, but with the AAA package I get the AAA Diamond Card (I think I read somewhere that that gives discounts) and the parking pass (which I don't think I would need) and one visit to the VIP lounge. The quote does not list the Water Park & More option that comes with the current special that WDW is offering directly. Maybe it's included and she wasn't aware of it or for some reason didn't list it. I'll call her and check on that.

So does the AAA Diamond card matter? How about the VIP lounge? Where is that?

I found the information that I was looking for on the Diamond Card. Here is a link to this thread in case anyone else is looking. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=958648&highlight=aaa+diamond+card

Lounge is in MK.

Thanks! I assume it's just a place to hang out and have a soda, kind of like the old AP lounges?
