KIRSTIN'S MOMMY said:It does have to be with a package, but not necessarily with the room at rack rate. If you are a AAA member you can get a discount off the room portion of the package, but not on tickets or the dining plan.
Palendat said:The only way to get the free dining is to pay rack rate. However, the PAID dining plan can be purchased in conjunction with AAA rates, but ONLY if booked through a AAA travel agent, not through Disney directly (which seems dumb to me since Disney has to pay AAA a commission).
