Hi everyone,
My prospective TA tells me that she can only get me a AAA discount on room only. I can then add the tickets but no meal plan. If I go through a AAA agent, I can get a discount on the whole pkg. She also said she hadn't heard that POR was being rehabbed. Any info you have is appreciated!

I do know that travel agents can only get the AAA discount on room only, not packages. I think January is Disney month at AAA and maybe they are offering special packages thru their AAA agents. Check the prices.

Your persepective TA is correct, only AAA TA can book a AAA Disney package. Any TA can do a AAA roomrate, this is what I had my TA do. We plan on puchasing our tickets seperatly at our local Disney Store or AAA office, which ever is cheaper.

As for your TA not knowning that POR is underging a rehab, I would questions how up to date their Disney information is. When we were there last June, there was a parking lot full of trailers with materials for the rehab.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, I thought that was the case. We will probably go through regular TA and get the pkg. They are offering Disney Dollars too. I will just keep my fingers crossed for any upcoming discounts on pkgs.

My husband and I booked through AAA on Jan. 15th up here and we got a discounted package including hotel, tickets, meals and flight. Since January is their Disney month we even received $25 disney dollars and luggage tags. I know this is a little late, but you have till tomorrow if you want the disney dollars.

I've been down this road already this year. We booked our trip through AAA also. We got a discount on the room which was nice, however, this TA doesn't have the knowledge of Disney that I think she should have. I believe I know more about Disney than she does thanks to all of the posters on these message boards. She can't answer my questions without calling Disney and asking them. I've finally decided to call myself. I had to pay AAA a $60 booking fee (didn't know about that until I paid it). We've have had our differences. I've had to call her supervisor. I've wanted to cancel the ressie and book it myself or with a different TA but my DH things I should just leave it alone. Yes, I've changed the dates twice and I rebooked with the new MYW but don't I have the right to change my mind?? I've looked at the past discount offers and it's possible we could get a better discount with a code. I don't know what to do. It's really frustrating for me as I thought it would be more relaxing letting someone else do it but it hasn't been.

Good for you. Now that fun part of planning your to do list can begin. When are you going? and where are you staying? Fill in the details, please.

I am with you on the waiting for discounts to come out!
