Also, you have to show your card at Goofy's Kitchen in order to save 10% - depending on who rings you up they might be real sticklers about it.

It will pay for itself.

I have booked 4 trips via AAA and have never been asked for any id at the parks. HOWEVER, the tickets had our names on them..... Last year I bought a package for my sister's family as well (they paid me) It wasn't a problem because we were going also. Are your friends going? You can buy the "passport plus" through AAA, just tickets no package. Maybe you could ask your friend to call the AAA office and ask about buying a "gift"?
Originally Posted By mickeynewe When buying only the tickets, not the package, the tickets don't have your names printed on them. Also, they typically only have the 3-day passes in stock. However, if you need the 5-day hoppers, etc., they will order them for you and it generally takes 1-2 weeks.
