Booking 2 rooms with AAA ???'s

[Patio]

I would like to book 2 rooms with AAA, 1 for myself and family, and 1 for a friend who doesn't have AAA. Can I do this? If I can, then will the reservation be in my name or my friends and will she be able to charge to her room on her room key? Thanks!

I just did the same thing. Booked 2 WL rooms for Sept. and they booked us 1 ressie with 2 rooms on a AAA discount ($169/nt) They didn't want the number but indicated that the AAA card must be shown at check-in. I think it doesn't matter if the other person is a member or not, the ressie is for 2 rooms under your name, so you're responsible for paying.

You can book up to 3 rooms under the AAA discount rate.

I know because I did it 30 minutes ago. Booked 3 rooms with a grand gathering at CSR.

They did ask for my AAA number if I had it handy, and told me I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SHOW THE CARD AT CHECK IN.

I did not ask if I had to pay for all the rooms with the same card once we are checked in, but it does not matter to me either way.

CRO will book room only rates, but for packages at the AAA rate you must book through AAA.

For the beginning of December, AAA at the moderates runs 107/night plus tax (11.5%) for about 120 a night.

Hoping for AP rates in December to upgrade to WL, but at least I have something guaranteed.

You have to pay 1 nights deposite for each of the rooms.

We are six families going....12 of us, in three rooms with a pin code. The ressie is under the pin code holders name. We can each pay our own share, with our own credit cards as well as set up our room keys with them, seperately. I can't see why the AAA ones can't be the same.

I booked my rooms for Pop with a very nice CM named Melody Lynn. She was able to give me 2 AAA priced rooms with my AAA card and give me 2 seperate reservations, 1 for me, 1 for my friend. She said I would need to show my AAA card at check-in for both rooms. She never asked for my AAA # though. She was so friendly and a pleasure to deal with. I used the 1-800 # to book.

Not being difficult, , but I'm going to disagree with the above statement. As a database developer I'm sure that each reservation is a seperate record (although linked) and each room key can be set up seperate, so at check-in you'll be able to differentiate how each room key is defined (bill room A charges to charge card X, Room B to Charge card Y. etc.) Disney would not remove this capability just because they were booked at the same time under the same reservation code.

It's common sense, however, that you will be billed the first night's stay for reservation purposes since you made the booking.

Not so sure about that... If each reservation were separate then I would expect to have 2 reservation numbers instead of one, and quite possibly 2 confirmation letters would have been sent.

Also being in the IT field, I would have designed it such that there is one guest record for me and one each for the people scheduled to stay with me. These will likely have less info than I but be linked back to me. Every hotel likely has a row in some hotel table and each hotel room likely has one row as well. The ressie table likely has 1 row for my ressie, linked to me and the other guests and also linked 2 the 2 hotel rooms. The reservation record would likely have the res# which could also serve as the PK, an arrival date, departure date, an amount due, amount paid, and various fields to keep reservation requests. It probably is linked to a guest/ressie cross reference table and a hotel room/ressie cross ref table also. It is likely that they have a capability of creating a new ressie via some copy feature if the person(s) in the second room wanted some other arrangements.

Of course I could be totally wrong and you totally right - this is just speculaton....

Man I need a vacation!

DadOf2Princesses, your reply is exactly the way the CM explained things to me. My friend and I each have our own reservation and confirmation numbers. My friend's reservation will be sent to her house and she will pay for her 1st night however she'd like and I can pay mine however I want. Originally, I thought I would have to pay both and my friend would reimburse me, but, the CM assured me that wasn't the case. The CM gave me both confirmation #'s though and I will need to show my AAA at check-in. Simple as that.
