Confused??? Is this right?? re:AAA

[disneyfanz04]

$ 1155.95 for the party of two adults and 10 and 6 yr old, and $ 1155.95
for the party of one adult and 5 and 4 yr old, for the 4 nights hotel and dining
and five days of a one major parks admission per day, staying at the Pop Century
in two rooms, with our AAA discount and taxes, and the Magical Express shuttle
if you will fly there.


Why is it the same amount for 2 adults and 2 children as it is for 1 adult and 2 children?? And does this quote include dining????

Not sure- but it doesn't sound right. As far as ticketing goes, your 10 year old would also be considered an adult, so the first room is actually 3 adults. I would check the prices again.

This was the the quote that I got from AAA. I copied and pasted it from my e-mail. That is what I do not understand.

Maybe when your TA booked the rooms she/he listed the 10 year in the other room so she/he could save you some extra money.
Just a guess not saying that happened.

Okay, I don't know the AAA discount, so I'm going to price it out at rack rates to see how it works out:

Room One
5 nights Pop Century, Standard room, Regular season
$99 per night x 5 nights + 11.5% tax = $551.93
3 adult base passes + 1 child base pass
$205.55 x 3 + $165.08 = $781.73
3 adult dining + 1 child dining
$35 x 3 x 5 + $10 x 5= $575
Subtotal = $1908.66
Room Two
5 nights Pop Century, Standard room, Regular season
$99 per night x 5 nights + 11.5% tax = $551.93
1 adult base pass $205.55 + 2 child base passes $165.08 x 2 = $435.71
1 adult dining $35 x 5 + 2 child dining $10 x 5 x 2 = $275
Subtotal = $1262.64

or
Room One
5 nights Pop Century, Standard room, Regular season
$99 per night x 5 nights + 11.5% tax = $551.93
2 adult base passes + 2 child base passes
$205.55 x 2 + $165.08 x 2 = $741.26
2 adult dining + 2 child dining
$35 x 5 x 2 + $10 x 5 x 2 = $450
Subtotal = $1743.19
Room Two
5 nights Pop Century, Standard room, Regular season
$99 per night x 5 nights + 11.5% tax = $551.93
2 adult base passes + 2 child base passes
$205.55 x 2 + $165.08 x 2 = $741.26
2 adult dining + 2 child dining
$35 x 5 x 2 + $10 x 5 x 2 = $450
Subtotal = $1743.19

Nope, doesn't make sense to me. Putting the third adult from the first room into the second room, even on paper, makes the total cost $3486.38. The way you actually have the rooms assigned, it comes to $3171.30

Call AAA first thing when they open!

Ok, my next question is since they quoted me that price do they have to give it to me for that price??? Just wondering??

No they don't

A quoted price doesn't become a firm price until the deposit is down and a contract formed.

This happened to me back in June when I was booking our WL stay for August. I was quoted a price for a standard room, but encouraged to hold off one week because AAA was rebating $50 for bookings during the following week. I waited, and the following week the price had gone up because there were no longer any standard rooms available. It didn't matter that I was quoted a price the previous week, I hadn't actually reserved so the didn't have to honor it.

I did book the courtyard view that week, even though it was more than I expected to spend. My AAA agent ended up calling every day for standard cancellations and got one about 10 days later, so it all worked out in the end for me. I got to pay the standard price, and still got the $50 rebate. (ended up with a free upgrade at check-in too...courtyard view!)
