First time booker- I need advice!

First off, thank you anyone who's replied to my myriads of posts in this forum already. :o But now I think I need to start actually booking things and putting down money if my trip is going to work.

I've been to the world 8 times now, but that was always done by other people (I'm just now 19, this is my first big trip on my own). I would consult my dad about this, but for various reasons I can't talk to him about it :zipit:. (At least for a while, lol :lookaroun).

ANYWAYS, I want to know the best way to go about booking, through who, at what time, and all this stuff. The hard part is that it's me and 3 of my friends going, and we all are currently attending different colleges, so it's really hard to get together and actually do something.

This is what we're looking at:

  • Dec 15-20th
  • Fort Wilderness Campground (tent camping!!)
  • We leave from the Detroit Airport.
  • 6 day parkhopper tickets
  • no dining plan (unless I magically get a pin code through email!)
  • I (myself) am able to buy military tickets from SOG, and another friend is a member of AAA, so we are able to book through them and get those discounts if possible.
_________________________________

I think I can handle the flights (I know what I'm looking for, and no one can really predict it anyways).

But I don't know how AAA works (I know a 20% discount on the campgrounds, but that's it), and I'd like advice.


  • If I go straight through Disney, getting a MYW package costs $1443.56 ($360 each)

  • An AAA discount on the room and military discount on the tickets should be $1327 ($331 each). (Assuming we can get that AAA discount for 4 adults.)
So what should I do? When should I book my room? Once booked, if I get a code, can I apply it? Can I call Disney and get a quote with that DGL or QXD code applied to compare? Should I book the room first or the flights?

In short, HELP!!! :ROFLOL:
