Package Reservations

Is it cheaper to book a package through disney themselves or AAA?

If I go with AAA, should I book our flight and everything?

you would need to sit down figure out everything you want and just price it out. I have booked my own trips that AAA couldn't beat my price. A lot of times it was because I found better and cheaper flights than they did.

You don't know till you price it out and compare. Make sure it is an equal comparison

Thanks. I want for 2 weeks and unless something changes, we have to make 2 reservations. One for 10 days and one for 4 days. I also want the 10 day hoppers and the dining plan. I'm just so afraid that AAA will mess something up.

AAA does get a discount on the room portion of their packages, so they CAN be less expensive than going thru Disney. Promotions like the free dining cannot be stacked with the AAA discount. You either get one or the other but not both. In that case, the free dining almost always beats the AAA package in price.

Like missymagic stated, you need to sit down and make friends with a calculator. Every family is different and the cost/savings will be different for each of them. My own preference is to NOT go thru AAA if I can avoid it. I always feel as if I know more about WDW than the TA I'm speaking with. (But that same TA is probably great at planning trips to Aruba and Cancun.)
