Why would AAA have the same price as WDW?

[zachnlucy]

I was just quoted the same price from AAA that I was able to get online. I thought AAA offered a discount all of the time? Is that not true?

 

[kelleigh1]

Not exactly true. While AAA offers discounts year round, there are a limited number of AAA discounted rooms available at each resort for each date, so if all the AAA discounted rate rooms are sold out for your time period, you'll be quoted the rack rate.

Well bah! That's what I get for procrastinating!

I had the same question, I was quoted the same thing too. I wonder if I should call back to check other resorts for our dates.

I've also heard that you can keep checking because sometimes someone will cancel their AAA room and you can sneak in and snatch it up for the discounted rate.

I don't have any choice unless I want to upgrade from moderate to deluxe. There are 5 of us, and I just can't bring myself to pay for a deluxe. As it is, I'm canceling Buena Vista Suites offsite so we can stay in the park.

We just booked a Spring Break trip with the special package deal that is going on now for that time through WDW. We're getting park hopper/water parks "thrown in" without paying for it. Because it's such a good deal, the AAA discount doesn't apply "over it." That's what was explained to us, because we asked about it. One good discount is all you get at a time I guess.
We're going anyway!

Are you sure the WDW price includes tax?

Usually the AAA discount pays for the tax.

For example: on mousesavers the rack rate for AKL pool view is $269

With the AAA discount, I am paying $270/night- that's b/c the $269 doesn't include tax.

I called and found out what Kelleigh said above was correct. The AAA ressies for that week are sold out.
