If AP Rates Come Out...

[ciera321]

I am holding a reservation with AAA for a package with dining for August. IF an AP rate is released, will Disney allow me to make a new AP reservation, then cancel right away with AAA??? If not, any suggestions? I don't want to cancel AAA, then not get an AP rate.

Disney doesn't care if you have two reservations.. I think your bigger question is what is AAA going to charge you for cancelling. I would find that out know. Some AAA offices do charge for cancellation.

Thanks Carol - I did check with my AAA agent and she said they follow Disney cancellation policy and that there would be no cancellation if 45 days out or longer.

I would book the AP rate and then call AAA and cancel. Apparently Disney does check for duplicatre reservations, but it' s not an instant check so if you do it all within a short time period you will be fine.

I made the AAA room only ressie last night and will cancel with the AAA agent this morning. At first I was told by a CM that there was no way I could hold 2 ressies at the same time. Then I called back to ask a question about cancelling and mentioned my situationa and the new CM said, "The AAA reservations are thru a travel agent and are not on our system. I will be happy to make a new AAA room only rate and then you can cancel with your agent. Not sure which is actually correct, but she made them for me, and I was so happy that I could still get AAA rates for both CSR and BC standard views for August!!! Thanks again for your help Carol...

I am currently holding a reservation with a room only thru a AAA agent. If I see the AP rates are up, can I reserve another room, cancel my existing room, and switch my new reservation to my AAA agent ? I can't cut her out of the loop since she's worked so hard for me, but she's on the West Coast, and therefore 3 hours behind Disney. I won't be able to book a AP rate until 11:30 Disney time!

Samsma - I think some of that would depend on what CM you get. The first one I talked to explaine that I couldn't hold 2 ressies at once, but the second one made the new ressies for me, even after I told her I'd just talked to a CM and he said it couldn't be done. I'd call my AAA agent and explain to her your wishes and she what she says...

what kind of discounts is AAA offering for WDW vacations?

For my time frame (August 7 - 18) the discount is 15% for the resort portion only...But they vary from 10% - 20% depending on the season and resort.
