You're probably right about no discounts, but most of us figure it never hurts to keep checking . I'm in the same boat as you, using my AAA discount for now since I'm stuck going during peak season because the kids are in school. I'm stuck waiting until they get to college - or until the school goes to a year-round schedule (that would give us some breaks during the value seasons).Please don't flame me, but there's really no point in watching for June/July discounts We haven't seen one since immediately post-9/11 when the tourist industry in America bottomed out for a couple seasons. With the current value of the dollar worldwide, we're going to see a booming international tourist business, at least in the short term, and that means no need for special discounts or deals. Because we have to go in the summer (DS and DDs school schedules) we've found other ways to save money: VISA reward dollars, DDE dining discounts, staying at ASMo (which we dearly love )....once they're both in college and get breaks in the off seasons, then we can take advantage of some awesome discounts. But peak season...no way!

I'm certainly not expecting, but hopefully it never hurts to keep our options open

There were AP discounts in June and July last summer - if you check at mousesavers.com historical discounts they are listed.
wow!! dare I ask the airline carrier?!
I don't want to be rude but I was wondering what % of a discount you got with AAA for June. I booked June 1-6 and the guy told me i could only get a 10% discount with AAA. It said 15% on Mousesaver. I know I didn't get a 15%. I did the math and it didn't add up.
Thanks!
