Why does WDW not have AAA rates set all year?

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

Earlier this month when we made our room only reservation for August 2011 I thought that maybe we could get a AAA or in our case CAA rate and then wait for other room only discounts, because at least that's better then nothing. Well I was wrong because the Cast Member said WDW has not released their AAA rates yet for 2011. Anyway is it just me or is WDW behind in the times when it comes to AAA rates? Every other hotel chain has them set for the year because they are standard, so why does WDW come out with their AAA rates later on?

They're out. Unfortunately, you may have gotten a new CM who didn't know how to look it up.

We booked a trip for June 2011 back in September or October and we got the discount through AAA.

I booked an October trip yesterday and got the AAA discount. Call another CM and find out.

Does anyone happen to know what the % off is at the Deluxe Resorts for August 2011 or is it better to wait for better ones? Now the fact that they have been out and the Cast Member who made our reservation didn't know that or didn't know how to look them up, should have know this right away.

The AAA rates came out in August for 2011. We have a room only ressie in May at BWI CL. I'm not sure how much the discount is, it's usually 10-20% off rack rate.

I always book through DL so I don't pay much attention to the AAA rate. I'm hoping to get either a pin or AP rate. Booked AAA just in case there's nothing else available.
