Small World gave me the same quote as AAA?

[studentmom]

Hi everyone,
I finally called and got a quote from AAA for a 7 night package for September of next year. Then yesturday I decided to give Small World travel a try and requested a quote. They quoted me the same, exact price as AAA (incl.tax and insurance). I was curious on why I wouldn't get a discount with AAA. I can't imagine that all of the AAA dicounted rooms for ASM are already booked for next year...but I guess that might be possible. My dh made an appt. AAA for tomorrow mornin' but I'm wondering if we should just stick with Small World??
What do you all think? thanks

I wonder is AAA doesn't have their discounts out for next year yet?

Hmm...maybe.
She could have told me and that would have been ok.

AAA rates are available for next year. I booked my trip for June 2006 over six weeks ago.

The AAA rates are simply a percent off discount from Disney's rates. The AAA rates were available a couple of weeks after Disney released its 2006 rates sometime in June.

Be persistent with your AAA TA; my local agent did not get me a great price. In fact, she told me no discounts were available. I called the regional number and saved $205 in about 10 minutes.

Good luck!

You could just call Disney and ask for the AAA rate. That's what I always do.

I went with Small World. Stephanie is my TA. I realize that my AAA discount is the same with her as what I could have done myself. BUT ( and for me this is a big but) the TA's are aware of discounts and other things that I never could stay on top of myself or have access to. Stephanie came home from vacation this week and e-mailed me that night!! I was concerned about my confirmations and she didn't want me to worry!! I like knowing that someone like her is watching out for me. Very impressed. I'd go with SW and if you're lucky you'll get Stephanie.

Thanks for all the replies!! The SW agent that they gave me was Nikki. I haven't spoken with her in person yet, but based on her e-mail she seems rather pleasant and knowledgeable. We were going to go to AAA today, but heard it should be less crowded on Tuesdays, so we'll go tomorrow. Maybe Nikki was able to get some kind of discount on my package?? We're going with the dining package. It might be worth it to have someone help recommend restaurants and such. So we'll see how it goes. Thanks again.

We ended up going to our local AAA office and our Agent was really nice. After we did the math we discovered that we did get some kind of discount. We're thrilled, even thinking of staying an extra night!!
