Ticket questions

[PoohNPiglet]

I have a question regarding the new tickets and packages. In the past every time I checked into Disney resort they have asked me "Do you need any tickets". If you wait until you check into your room to buy your tickets, can you still add a meal plan to the tickets? Or, do you have to buy a package to get the meal plan. The reason I ask is that from things I have read it seems like you may not get room discounts if you buy a package. So, I want to make room only ressies to get a room discount and then I also want to get the meal plan. From my calculations it is ~$1430 through a package and ~$1100 with a AAA room discount and tickets separate (value season, value resort, and provided I can buy the tickets the way I would like to...) Thanks for your help

Several people here on the DIS have reported getting the AAA rate and also adding tickets and meals to that. Have you tried to book it that way?

I have not contacted AAA yet since they started charging us for travel agents. (I was waiting to see what people up here recommened...) Do you mean that they were able to call Disney and get the AAA discount right on the package? Thanks

Well, I'm not a AAA member, so I'm not sure how that works. But if you scroll back a page or two you'll see some threads about booking AAA with the packages. I'll look too... if I find it I'll come back and post again.

Well, I scrolled back a couple of pages and found a thread talking about calling CRO to book AAA and giving them your member #. So I guess that's how you do it. If I were you I'd just call CRO right now and see what they say. Tell them you want a AAA discount on your room and also tickets and dining.... the worst thing is they say "no"... but I'm pretty sure I've read about other people getting that. Good Luck!!!!!

I'm not sure you can get the AAA package discount through Disney but you can get the AAA discount on room only reservations through Disney.

I thought this was the case since I think I have done this before. My question thenis if I buy the tickets when I check-n can I buy the meal plan as well?
