Not to sound selfish but...

[DonaldsNo1Fan]

we only saved $55 with the new code. We already had hopping on the tickets, so I was expecting about an $80 savings for 2 adults. I dont understand how some people are saving hundreds . We are booked through AAA so that probably has something to do with it, but I thought the AAA was only on the room, not the whole package. We were booked 7 nights with 8 day hoppers and ddp for 1,599, now its 1545 and we get the water parks. I am very happy to be saving any money at all, I just dont understand how some people are saving significantly more than others.

The only discount you get through AAA is the room, everything else is the same cost as if purchased through WDW. Also, the percentage discount for room is different depending on the season (value, peak, etc) and the level of resort.

I booked with AAA for 6 nights at POFQ 2/14/07 - 2/20/07 AT VALUE SEASON RATE WITH 2 DAYS TICKETS (FREE PARK HOPPER & WATER PARKS)...TOTAL COST OF 1,270.71.

IF I HAD BOOKED W/O AAA ROOM DISCOUNT, THE PRICE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 1,380.60 (PER WDW ONLINE QUOTE W/O PARK HOPPER & WATERPARKS SELECTED). MY DIFFERENCE IS ONLY ABOUT $100, BUT IT IS CHEAPER.

HAD I PURCHASED THE PACKAGE ONLINE THROUGH WDW WITHOUT ANY DISCOUNTS (INCLUDING THE FREE PARK HOPPER AND WATERPARKS ADDON) THE COST WOULD HAVE BEEN 1,684.16!!!

I'm right there with you

We booked AAA 7 nights Caribbean Beach Standard view
8 day park hoppers
DDP
3 adults 1 child for $2864.00

to get the new deal we had to mobe to CSR water view
8 day park hopper plus water
DDP
for $2884.00 We had to pay an extra $20.00 Oh well!

I agree.. we were up in the air about going and I decided the discounts are just not enough of an incentive to go!

Our package through AAA (before codes)

2 Adults, 1 (2 year old)
1/15/07 - 1/23/07 8 nights at POR w/King
8 day tickets
PH/WP
DDP
no insurance for $2395.88

after AAA code it was $2328.74 a savings of $67.14

This is the exact same price I got from WDW using code ZCL

So it doesn't matter if you use AAA or not.

We had a package thru AAA for 5 nights in January at CB with dining and basic tickets. My agent called and had them upgrade the tickets to PH and we ended up paying $50.00 more. Still don't know why it cost more if the upgrade was free???

 

[disnan52]

I called my AAA agent today gave her the code and saved 283.00 more dollars on my package. Staying at WL March 4-10, had park hopper, and dining, 3 adults, now have upgraded tickets.

[DisneyFan09]

It probably depends on what resort, how long of a stay and how many people in your party. I was quoted 1548 for 2 adults and 2 children (10 and 11) for 7 nights at POP with 7 day water park and hopper ticket. I figured without the code it was around 1844 so that's a savings of 296.

 

[Wendi]

All I have to say is . I tried to book the new codes or any code for that matter and it was still cheaper for us to book directly on the website. Go figure. I even tried 2 travel agents with one being Dreams and was quoted higher. WHERE ARE THE DISCOUNTS ? I am hoping for something. I would like to at least save $300. Are you guys as disappointed as we are?

Wasn't she booking 7 nights with 8 day hoppers?

 

[DznyDreams]

Dont you lose your AAA discount to get the other discount?

Yes, that is exactly what happens. You cannot combine discounts - You pick one or the other.

Don't forget about the free pin you get when you book a AAA package!!

I dont have AAA but when I called to add the code they quoted me more then the original cost. I told them that wasn't right and had them recheck it. Come to find out every time we modify our ressies the computer is automatically adding the ins even though I didn't want it. They corrected it and I saved about $120.oo plus got the upgraded tickets. So maybe have your TA check on that.

I booked my package with AAA for 10 days/9 nights at POFQ, 10 day park hopper passes and the dining plan. The total with the AAA discount was $1,900 (approximately $200 less than booking directly through WDWTC. A few months ago a discount code came out that my AAA agent was able to get, bringing my total down to $1,600. I did have to switch resorts, as POFQ was not available. To save $300, no problem. When the latest code came out in early October, my AAA TA was able to get that discount. It did not save me any more $$, BUT it did allow me to change back to POFQ, which is where I wanted to stay all along.

We booked the following back in February with AAA
2/20/07-2/25/07
2Ad, 2-12 yr old, 1-5 yr old
POR
5 day park hopper
no dining or insurance
$2164.00 (this was approx. a $126.00 savings over WDW)

Called AAA and told them to get the code applied
Everything is the same with the exeception that we are now getting 6 day park hopper passes w/water parks
$1964

So we saved $200.00 plus we get an extra day in the park and since we planned to go to Disney Quest I saved another $200 in admission there.

I saved a bundle yesterday with the code ZCL added to an existing reservation. The CM I talked to asked me if we had booked with insurance originally and I said no. I think they should at least ask and not just add it automatically.

 

[DonaldsNo1Fan]

I get it now. They took away the AAA discount, so I am actually saving more with the discount through Disney, I just didn't think it was that much cause I didn't realize they took away the AAA discount. thanks!

 

[drafthorsecrazy]

I have reservations for Fort Wilderness campground Jan. 16- Mar.1, 07. I have obsessively watched and waited for discounts to come out......AAA, visa, and now ap. Unfortunately none have been available for FW. Yes, I have called back many times checking to see if something opened up. I was told this is do to the fact that the campground has the highest rate of all the resorts being full. We stay at FW in our RV because we love it there and are able to have our pets stay with us. So....switching to another resort is not an option. With the current discounts value resorts are less expensive than the campground!! To all of you able to get a discount; no matter how small; celebrate!! Some of us are going and paying rack rate .
