Question about Room Only discounts (Feb 2011)

[DisneyAndRedSox]

Hi- new to the Resort area of the boards.

Normally I stay off property since I have a timeshare and DH is platinum with Marriott, but I need to book 3 nights before our cruise in Feb. I would really rather stay on-property vs using DH's Marriott points for this trip. For once I just want to land at the airport, board Magical Express and be immersed in Disney until we get off the ship! We have Annual Passes, so we don't need tickets and I don't need the dining plan since I have a ton of Disney Visa Rewards and we get in on Thurs afternoon and go to the ship on Sunday. I don't need transportation to the port, my parents are coming in that weekend and will drive us both ways.

So here is my question:
I need 3 nights, Thurs 2/10 to Sun 2/13 (this is not President's weekend, so I am assuming it is still Value Season).

1- About when would the Annual Passholder room rates be released?
2- Are there AAA Room only rates? If so, have those been released yet? Do I have to book through AAA or can I call Disney?
3- Are there ever room only PIN's?

Thanks for all your help, and I am open to any other advice you may have! Keep you fingers crossed I can convince DH to stay on-property, he is used getting rooms for free so I need a good deal to make my case!

Good questions! AP rates were just relaease into mid-August. They may have some, but not yet.
Yes, they have roon only pins, but you never know when they are offered or who will get them. They have not extended them into next year yet.
Yes, you can get AAA. When they are gone, they are gone. Like pin rates, there are only a certain number of rooms allowed with the discount. I book directly through Disney with AAA discount requested. I have never tried AAA offices for room only. I know they do packages....
It is a choice to book with AAA and look for toehr discounts or wait to see what comes!
Good luck!!!!
