Which discounts are deeper and/or easier to use?

[disneydenisel]

I have an AAA card, and I can apply for the Disney VISA, and I can buy an AP. Which of these cards will get me the best and most accessible discounts on rooms? Is there another discount card that I should consider?

I need to book 4 rooms for June 2005. I can book now using AAA and then change if other discounts become available. It looks like the Disney VISA discounts come out earlier than the AP discounts but might not be as good? Are the Disney VISA discounts easier to obtain, and what time in the morning do I have to call once the codes are released?

Thanks for any help. This board is the best for discount tips!

Allow me to make a suggestion.
Trying to keep up with discounts, codes, specials, etc. can really make you crazy. Try using one of the Disney "specialists" and let them take care of you. We used Small World Vacations (WDWVacations.com) that we found through mousesaver.com.
They keep on looking for discounts for you and change your reservations to get you the best price. We started out with a AAA discount through them and they revised it two times using our Disney Visa to finally save us $800.00!!!!!
They even made our priority seatings for us. The best thing is that the service is FREE!!!!!!!
Check them out, you won't be sorry.
I will never, never, never again worry about codes, etc. I'll let Small World take care of this for me. It's really a great service with dedicated people who really know WDW.

Take a look at mousesavers.com for rates.

I believe that AP holders and Florida residents get the deepest discounts (rates are usually the same rate)

Disney VISA may be second best - IF and when they are offered. Sometimes they are the same rate as the public codes but with Disney Dollars (25 usually) given to you at checkin.

I second the motion to use a Disney Specialist agency - my recommendation goes to Joe at Dream Come True Vacations, and of course, the board sponsor Dreams Unlimited.
