I think this offer is what you're referring to:

Stay 4 nights - get 3 nights free

4 days of tickets - get 3 days free
Book your trip for travel between January 4th and March 29th, you also receive a $200 Disney Gift Card to spend!

*****Book between November 6th and December 20th!*****
Travel between January 4th and June 27th.

Travel between January 4th and March 29th to include the Disney Gift Card.
Travel between March 29th and June 27th to include the discount, but not the Disney Gift Card.

I think you may actually have to buy the room/ticket package for this to work - I don't think you can just get the room or the tickets, but I may be mistaken.

I read on one website that it is only for value resorts but on another I saw that it could be at any resort. I wonder if AAA will honor any of this deal or do you have to deal directly with Disney? I tried to contact them this weekend but was unsuccessful. Must try again today!

Not sure about AAA offices, but it might be easier for this deal to use the Disney website. I know some people who have called Disney about the offer and were told it's only for Villas and Values, which is not true.

If you use the website, go to the Special Offers page, click on the Buy 4, Get 3 Free graphic, and then click the link towards the bottom of that page to get to a special reservations system page. This will give you whatever rooms are available at a discount rate for your trip with the package.

I don't believe that's true because my friend is going in May I think and ended up paying slightly less staying at WL than he was originally going to at Old Key West or one of those moderates.

None of the offers ever apply to my family, I think that Disney discriminates against people with larger families, we have 6 in our group and everything is for 4 people.

You'll love the cabins! They're very quiet-no kids running up and down the hallways. Check out the Camp fire sing a long. If you bring your own s'mores fixings, it's free! If not, the s'mores kits are $5. Chip and Dale come to visit. It's lots of fun.
