Are you booking a AAA package, or room only? Of course, AAA package must be booked through AAA. But, when I've booked room only, I've gone through Dreams Unlimited -- You have to pay a deposit equal to one night within 14 days of making the reservation, then the balance is due when you check in, and you can cancel up to 5 days before checkin. I believe those policies would be the same booking directly through Disney. If AAA requires full payment by 45 days, then that seems more restrictive than DU or Disney.
I just added the AAA rate to my Jan ressies for POP and my rate went from $82 per night to $65.60 per night. Thats a 20% discount. We also had 2 rooms reserved so every little bit helps. I didnt go through AAA- just booked a room only with AAA so I can have "control" over my ressies. I will be looking for any special deals and codes to switch it to later. The CM I spoke with said probably the first of Nov. there would be some codes and specials for Jan.
