Booking with AAA

[APB513]

I made a reservation through CRO using the 30% off Bounceback offer. Is there a benefit to switching my ressie to a AAA TA? What types of discounts can I get with the AAA Vacations Diamond Card?

If I did switch, would I still be able to use my 30% discount code?

Thanks!

I would stick with your 30% code. The most you will get with AAA is 15-20% based on the time you go and which resort.

I am pretty sure the bounceback offer saves you more $$$ and more $$$ in your pocket is more $$$ to spend on your trip!

Thanks Kristimc and GoofyFairie!

I just called AAA to see what the package would cost if I booked through them.

The TA said that since I booked using the Bounceback offer, the code could not be transferred. The AAA package would end up being about $450 more.

If you want to keep your rate, all you have to do is write a letter stating you would like the AAA agent to take over your reservation. I have done this in the past. It did not require me losing my discounted rate and have to take the AAA rate (which would have been less off/cost more).

HOWEVER....

the key is to use an EXPERIENCED Disney AAA agent. And that would not be the one you talked to as she did not know how to do this.

I used a AAA agent that is well versed in Disney bookings and that is why it worked. Had I just called up a local AAA agent, I am certain I would have gotten the same response you did.

The benefits of booking through a AAA agent include the AAA parking pass (to park closer if it is avaialable), AAA discount at certain restaurants and shopping at World of Disney, and the storytelling experience at the Magic Kingdom (reserved time to hear a story read by a Disney character). Those are the ones I can think of now.

Hope that helps.

How do I find an "experienced Disney AAA agent" in my area? I live in the Ann Arbor, MI area.

Can anyone recommend an agent? If so, send me a PM.

Thanks
