As for the "illegal code", I'm guessing you got booked under a PIN-code rate, but there is no corresponding PIN in your record (because you weren't sent one.)
As long as the pin code deal you are booked under is the same as the GP deal, it should just be a matter of changing the code.
In many cases, the impression I've gotten from the AAA agents I deal with at AAA-MI is that they act more like resellers than traditional travel agents. Disney has these packages, and that's what most AAA offices sell, with a small discount to you because of the volume AAA brings to Disney.
(This is true of most of the travel interactions I've had with them---they seem to prefer to book you into a third-party package rather than custom-book a trip for you.)
There are some AAA agents who act like travel agents rather than resellers, and provide a corresponding level of service. However, as commissions continue to be cut, I'm not convinced that such agents will be easy (or even possible) to find. Eventually, the commission one gets for booking one of these trips will be so small that it just won't pay to be on the phone making/changing ADRs, rebooking trips with new codes, etc. for each client.
