We never seem to be in a position to take advantage of the great deals (like those going on now!) but we do manage to find discounts. One great investment we made was in a AAA membership.
In addition to all those great automotive-type benefits, AAA members get a discount on rooms in Disney World resorts almost year-round. The savings vary, but usually run between 10 and 20 percent of your lodging. That’s a meal or two in the parks, doncha know?
In 2009, travelers in the value season will receive 15% off their room in Value, Deluxe and Deluxe villa resorts and 20% in Moderates or the Ft. Wilderness cabins and campsites. During regular season, AAA members can look forward to 10% off if staying in Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resorts and 10-15% off at Value, Moderates, or the Ft. Wilderness sites. In peak season, the discount is 10% off in all resorts.
There is no discount in the holiday season.
You can book an AAA discount through the Auto Club or directly from Disney at (407)W-DISNEY. Just ask about the AAA discount for the dates of your trip, and have your card handy.
