We originally booked through AAA - the code did not save us any money, but it did give us the upgraded park hopper tix and it also saved us the $$ we would have spent renewing our AAA membership, so not too shabby!

Jan. 17-24
2 adults, 2 kids (2 and 3)
AKL standard view
Dining Plan

Original price through AAA (standard base tix, no hopper): $2817.32

New price w/ code (includes hopper): $2821.01

I was a little worried that the MLK weekend would be blackout days, but the lady who helped me said there was no blackout date, at least not for AKL.

I'm also hoping that by booking directly through Disney we may increase our chances of a room upgrade (don't ask me what my logic is - just wishful thinking, I guess!).

By the way - I did not call until 8am West Coast time and only waited a couple minutes.

So psyched for this trip now!

Hello, well after painfully watching and waiting on the code watch boards, I stayed up till 12AM saw the code come thru for ZVY .I had booked originally Poly cong lagoon for jan 29-feb 6 ,7 day park hopper and added basic dining for aprox $6800. Called at 6.55 am talked to the sweetest CM in a about 12 minutes got my code applied I guess it gave us park hopper water park and possible a small room discount (still trying to figure that one out) my new price was about $6300. I have not yet recieved a new reservation on my email, think I'll have to call and reconfirm what we have and get a print out. Just happy to be a little sleep deprived and save $500.00!!! I tried pricing out my vacation package on disney site but there are no rooms available for the time period so I can't figure out my savings other than a ticket savings of about $200, Has anyone been able to figure out the breakdown on the rooms? Just want to show my DH what I did and maybe get a pat on the back Anyone Know the price of a POly lagoon conc. room at value season and I can figure it out from there? Thanks and good luck everyone this has been a lot of fun.

Couldn't apply the new general public code to my reservation - AKL coincierge Feb 2-8th (MYW plus dining, 7 day park hopper, NO water parks for $3792.03). CM actually said there weren't ANY rooms at AKL.

So switched to VWL studio for same dates....

VWL studio
MYW with dining
7 day park hopper with water parks & more

TOTAL is $2858.49 vs full price at VWL which would have been $3816.84 (per DisneyWorld website).

Good luck to everyone!

I was told the same thing. We are booked at AKL from the Feb. 2-9th also with the MYW + dining and hoppers. In fact, she said that there was NO Avail. at any of the deluxes with this new code for our dates??????

 

[Grumpy'n'Goofy]

do you mind if I ask you what your AAA discount put your room at the lodge at with tax? We are in a woodsview room.

For woodsview, before tax, our rate was:
$212.50 for weeknights
$229.50 for MLK weekend nights

TA e-mailed today with this great news for our 1/26-2/02 CSR stay--2 adults, 11 y/o, 6 y/o--standard room, DDP:

Your new vacation package total is $2774.26 and includes a free upgrade of your park tickets to include the Water Parks, Fun & More Option. That’s a $349.18 savings over your current reservation total and a $562.26 savings over the non-discounted price of the same reservation with those park ticket options.

I measure our vacation payment in how many days I have to work (I'm a substitute teacher) to pay for our vacation--so now, its a few days less!!

Well I've already switched my reservation four times now LOL!

I started with a room only AAA rate of $212.50/night for woods view at WL.

Then I went with a AAA magic moments package (w/ dining and park hoppers) for woods view at WL for $3280.00.

So the code comes out and I call Disney and get the gen public code this morning but they don't have woods view available for 1/20 - 1/26. They have courtyard view bunk beds though for $3,475 or a standard room for $2,944 (with dining). I go ahead and book the courtyard bunk beds and decide to then cancel the AAA reservation. When I went to call my AAA agent, she questioned why I didn't go with standard and says when she went there she had a great standard view and the great savings on the standard room I should grab.

So she got me thinking, and I went ahead and called Disney back and switched my package to standard view and cancelled the AAA reservation.

I wish I could have had my AAA agent convert my woods view AAA package to a woods view Disney code package but she said she couldn't.

Ah well.

[LtlTee]

I'm gonna jump in here for some clarification, if I may...
I have had an AP for years, and used to get the Disney Dining Experience Card. However, I didn't renew my AP this year. I want to book an October 2008 trip with the dining plan. I've never booked a package before, so I'm a little out of my element.

The only way to get a AAA discount AND the dining plan is to book through a AAA travel agent-- is this correct?

If a general code comes out, can/will the AAA travel agent apply the code automatically rather than use the AAA discount (which I am assuming would be less)? I think there was a poster who said that their AAA TA couldn't convert their AAA package to a Disney code package. Am I better off just booking a package on my own and waiting (hoping) for a general code to come out?

Thanks!
