Availability of AAA discount question

[unbroken chain]

Hello all, I wonder if anyone has experience with this:

I know sometimes, if your resort of choice is full, but you call back, eventually there might be a room available.

Does this work with AAA discounts?

When I go to the AAA website, I can get a list of all the hotels and the rates for my dates. (As an aside, the website, inconveniently, does not tell you if you are getting a discount, so some rates shown are AAA discounts and some are not. However, I can figure out if it's a discount by looking up the rack rate elsewhere.)

However, if the rate showing on the AAA website is in fact not a discounted rate, is it possible that more AAA discount rooms might open up later? Or, once a AAA discount is given on a room, if that room is cancelled later, does it go back into the "rack rate" pool of rooms?

Also another question if anyone has experience with this: the AAA site said "rate changes during stay - see below", but in fact, "below" there was no mention of a rate change.

I have booked AAA before through Disney, and if your stay crosses seasons, which mine does, you still get the check-in rate during your whole stay, even with a AAA discount, if through Disney. However, some travel websites (Expedia?) do charge a day-by-day rate. So, does anyone know offhand if the AAA rates change, if you book through AAA, if your stay crosses "seasons" (which mine does?) I will call Monday but it would be nice to know before then.

Thanks!!!

If I am not mistaken, when WDW came out with the rates for 2008, they illiminated the check in rate is your rate for the entire stay. I am not sure how the various rates work however.

Hope you get your AAA rate when you call on Monday- you may have to be flexiable on dates and or resorts.

I am looking into aaa for april, and when I got the rates for the rooms, the weekend days were about 8 dollars more than the weekdays, and it was the 15% off the regular rates. I think you have to choose the hotel and it will give you more detail.
The first time I looked, pop century did not come up as a choice, but the next time it did. I don't know if I had chosen different dates or what.

2008 rates not are higher on weekends and there is not longer a lock on season rate if you check in in one season and overlap, you pay a nightly rate for whatever weekday or seaon that night IS.

When I looked up the rates on this site, for the regular season on up, at the value resorts anyway, the weekends were $10 more than the weekday nights.
