AAA TA Help

**linanglab** · 01-02-2008, 04:14 PM

We have always used our AAA discount either through AAA, or through Disney itself. Which one is better?

I called my AAA place today, and they were less than thrilled to give me a price. She told me to just go onto the Disney site and that is the price that they would give me. I told her that I thought AAA gave us discounts, and she said "well, yes....sometimes, if they are available. I guess I will have to get back with you on that."

Now, I told her I was not quite ready to book yet, because me dates were not quite set in stone. Should I have waited to get a quote once my dates are set? Is that why she was not that excited to talk to me? I felt like I was wasting her time....

hmm that is strange. You would think that she would help you out a little more even if you were just looking. Is she a AAA Disney TA or just a AAA TA? Maybe you should try another agent if she is not willing to help you.

How do you find another agent? I just called our local AAA. We have never had any trouble doing that in the past. I was just disappointed in her attitude. I am excited about pricing out DD and my trip, but she made it less than an enjoyable phone call....

If I called Disney, would they give me the AAA discount quote? I can't remember if that is what we did last time or not.

Oh, Angela, that's awful! I think AAA has a Disney special during January, but not positive. Anyway, I have a AAA agent who is a Disney Specialist who never gives us any issues. If you want more info, please PM me. I can give you her name, e-mail addy, and phone number. She is used to me referring people from other States.

You might be able to try getting one online through the AAA website. I tried for my "maybe" Jan 2009 trip, but she emailed back that it was too early and to try back in September, which seems kind of late to me!

I've never done a AAA package, but I do the AAA on the phone w/ Disney for room only. My stay at POP was $72/night (that includes the tax) for my Dec trip.

I got my park hoppers through the mousesavers link.

I do not have AAA so I don't know all the details but I would think you could just call up and ask for another rep to deal with. It sounds like Pat has someone good for you to use. Hopefully you will be able to get a good quote.

I think every AAA office has a Disney specialist. Although, when I have requested quotes from the Disney specialist at my local AAA, they were less knowledgeable than I am.

I am just shocked at the attitude you received from the AAA ta. As a member, you are paying that ta's salary(and potential commission). She should have been much more helpful.
