Package booked, AAA at check in?

[Joe'sgirl]

I booked thru Disney. I am wondering whether I can get any additional discount if I show my AAA card at check in. Anyone know?? I'm looking to try and book an ajoining room for the last night of our trip if available and even if I can't get AAA rate on what I already booked, I'm thinking I can use it to try for that additional room (if available).

call your AAA travel agent and ask them to pop in the same package there. I am sure you will save money.
You can't go to WDW and show your card. You can get a room only discount through WDW, but for packages, you have to book through AAA.
If you find a better package deal through AAA, call and cancel your WDW ressie

Do it before you go not at check in.

I'll put it to you this way. I made a package reservation through CRO, and obviously was quoted a price. I hadn't paid my $200 deposit yet (I had 14 days to pay it before the reservation went away).

Then I thought to check out if I would save anything by applying an AAA discount. I knew that you can't book a PACKAGE through CRO with an AAA discount, that it has to be room only.

So I checked it out and it was about $300 cheaper for 6 nights at POFQ. I had to cancel my old package reservation and make a totally new room-only reservation because of the AAA discount. So no, showing your AAA card at the resort front desk will do nothing for you.

I can still buy the same park tickets through Disney for the same price. The only tangible difference in stuff I get is I won't get vouchers for Planet Hollywood and things like that, which matters NOTHING to me since we've never used any of those things anyway.

I'm happy to save the money.

I agree.

You might get more feedback if you ask this question on the Disney Resorts board. I know that there are a lot of people there who are AAA members.

What more feedback can the OP use? The OP got a comprehensive answer from the above posts. This is one of those absolutely knowable answers, where there's no opinion involved, only facts, and the facts are all presented above.

CleveRocks, you said that showing your AAA card at the desk will do nothing but others said that it might. The answer seemed ambigious to me and I was simply pointint the OP to a more appropriate board on which to ask her question. I didn't mean to offend you.

I'm not offended. But I'm also not sure what you're reading. Is there a post on this thread that even alludes to the possibility that showing your AAA card at check-in will help with anything? Am I missing something?

I'd just hate to send someone on a unnecessary wild goose chase, that's all.

I'm not talking about this thread. I'm talking about on the Resort board where I referred the OP to. I'm not trying to send her on a wild goose but just want to make sure that there is in fact no way that she can get a discount at the desk.

call your AAA office and get it taken care of before- it is by availability - and not like when you check into most hotels.

If the OP has a room only reservation, can't they just book this discount through Disney and bypass the AAA agent?

OP - If a room-only reservation is what you want, I suggest you call Disney reservations and inquire about the availability of a AAA discount on a room-only reservation. If you have the dining package, you will have to do as the others have suggested and get a AAA travel agent to book it for you.

You need to book with AAA to get the discount. They only reserve a number of rooms that have the discount after that everyone pays the same price. Unless you are lucky when you get there, the rooms usually sell out.
