Is this a good price for a WDW Package? Or am I missing something better?

Planning a last minute trip on a budget and could use some help............

I usually plan my Sept. WDW trips over a yr. in advance. I have plenty of time to "scout" the deals. This last minute stuff has me on edge, I feel a little rushed and like I may be missing something.....like a better deal.

This is my first time going in March (3/3-3/10) and my first time as a AAA member. I just got off of the phone with AAA and she quoted me $1422.32 for a package. This includes:
-5-Day, Basic tickets for my mom, myself and DD6.
-7 ngts in Pop Cent.- Standard room

Has anyone gotten or heard of anything better out there for this time of year?
The agent said I'd have to book SOOOOOON or what I want may not be available!

room 119/night (rack rate)
Room for 7 nights = 937.12
aaa discounted room = 796.55
Tickets about 632

Rack rate room + tickets = 1569.12
AAA + Tickets = 1428.55
You got the aaa discount (rounding errors etc come in to play here) saving you about $140

Since you aren't doing dining you can purchase your tickets separately and book your hotel room only. You can save some extra this way by ordering from somewhere like undercover tourists (prices include tax and free shipping), saving even extra from them if you register with mousesavers.com for the newsletter (free registration).

If you are still thinking about it you can have a hold put on it for 2 weeks to guarentee it is still available when you are ready. And yes people are already finding it difficult to get what they want at that time.
