AAA members, and CAA members, who are planning on visiting Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando are eligible for discounts on tickets, hotels, and packages, and enjoy special membership perks. To receive the maximum discounts, members should book their vacation packages through AAA Travel.

Discounts on Walt Disney World Tickets
Walt Disney World Guests who purchase admissions tickets through AAA/CAA will receive a small discount, usually no more than 5% off regular admission. This percentage, although slight, matches those of other places that sell legitimate discounted Walt Disney World tickets. As is common with Disney tickets, discounts are steeper for multi-day tickets of five days or longer.
Discounts on Walt Disney World Hotels and Orlando Accommodations
The AAA Disney Magic Moments Saving plan offers guests savings of between 10 – 35% on the non-discounted room rate portion for the following:
- Disney’s Magic Your Way package
- Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotel package
- Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel package
- Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel package.
Disney guests who book a Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel package of seven or more nights receive 200 Disney Dollars, after showing the AAA voucher at check-in. This offer may be combined with Magic Moment Savings.
For Disney guests who would consider staying off-site, AAA also works with a number of hotel and resort chains – including Best Western, Hampton, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriot, and Starwood – that offer AAA member discounts. Discounts and deals vary from free breakfasts to 25% off to credits at resorts.
AAA Vacation Packages
Guests who book their vacations through AAA can take advantage of Walt Disney World’s special offers, and still enjoy the benefits of a AAA Vacation Package. Benefits include:
- AAA Vacations® Diamond Card, which provides savings of 10 – 20% at participating Walt Disney World Resort locations for meals, recreation, and merchandise.
- AAA Diamond Parking, good for preferred parking spaces at Walt Disney World’s four major theme parks. Parking is subject to availability and block-out dates. Guests receive a non-transferable voucher.
- One keepsake luggage tag per person.
AAA Vacation guests who book certain Magic Your Way Plus Dining packages will receive Disney Story Time Experience. Held at Norway in Epcot’s World Showcase on select days and times, this members’ benefit offers guests one story time experience with a Disney character. Advance reservations are necessary, and guests must show their voucher and a resort ID. Performance days and time may change or have block-out dates; check with a AAA travel agent for details.
AAA Discounts and Perks for Car Rentals
AAA guests can receive a free upgrade on Hertz cars, on select rentals, as well as one complimentary car seat.
As an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner, AAA and CCA travel planners have extensive knowledge of and training for booking trip to Walt Disney World – as well as Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and Adventures by Disney. The organization’s services, when combined with the discounts and special experiences offered to its members, make AAA worth considering for guests booking a Disney vacation.
