Have questions on AAA packages

[Disney-Kim]

I looked online for the AAA package prices and info. The website didn't say anything about the unlimited Fastpasses...is this still a perk of booking with AAA? and....the prices were equal/higher than disney.com. whats up with that?

so are there any good reasons to use AAA? thanks

The AAA multi-FastPass only comes with packages that include a stay at one of the 3 Disney hotels. (The package does not need to include airfare). Quotes vary at different times of the years, but for my August trip, I found AAA quotes to be significantly less for the view rooms, particularly at Grand California. There was virtually no difference between the quotes from AAA and disney.com for standard rooms. If you plan to stay on-sight and the quotes are comparable, I would still find AAA a better deal because of the multi-fastpass benefit. Keep in mind, the FP benefit if more valuable during busy periods; it may not help much during the off-season.

If you are not staying on-sight, AAA may not buy you much, if anything. You do get free parking with AAA, but that only helps if you are driving to and from the park.

when I compare the two by about $4 bucks. Even the views don't seem to offer any savings. I do realize there is a fast pass benefit- I guess for those that want to go on multiple times on the same rides.

My 3 night GCH park view room for the first week of August was around $140 less through AAA than the same package quoted on disneyland.com, but I did book a couple of months ago. It may be that the rates go up after a certain quota of AAA rooms are booked.
The multi-FP allows you to simultaneously collect a FP for every attraction that offers FP. You can't simulaneously collect multiple FPs for the same attraction.

We are booked through AAA for our July 25th trip and it was a savings of about 15%-20% off rack in addition to the fastpass perk. Considering the season we are going I felt this was a great deal.
I hope this helps.

We booked through AAA only for the fast pass perk...everything else included in the package is about the same as what I could get booking through Disney on my own....and my agent did tell me that there is a $4 dollar difference in the AAA quotes, but I can deal with that....So I guess unless you want the Multi-pass, there is no difference because on the buy 3 get the 4th night free offer, they charge rack rate for the 3 nights anyways. Still turned out to be cheaper than any other discount.

So should I book on the phone with AAA to get the unlimited FP package? or online includes it too? online AAA didn't say anything about it. Yes I am looking at the 3 Disney hotels.
The unlimited FP makes booking with AAA a perk in my book. thanks

I went into the AAA travel office and sat down with an agent. If you can't do this I would probably call. When i checked the website it come up with a substantially higher price then the one I got in person.
