AAA making hotel reservations?

[mrstomrice]

Does anyone know if AAA will help make a hotel reservation for our trip down to Disney? We're driving from PA and hoping to go as far as we can with 2 young ones in the first day. If I call AAA from the road, will they help me shop for prices and availability? Thanks!

Go to your local AAA office, pick up all the tourbooks you need for your trip. Or go to AAA.com and order your tourbooks online.

In these tourbooks they have all the hotels listed for each town along 95. No need to call AAA, you can do it right from your cell phone in the car.

You'll need the North and South Carolina tourbook, Georgia tourbook and florida tourbook. Don't think you need the Mid-Atlantic states and Virginia, but if you want order them and they will ship them to you.

I agree on the tourbook.

One other tip is to make two reservations for stops about 2 hours apart. If you make good time, you can stop at the point closer to WDW. If not, stop at the first place. Most hotels have a cancelation policy by 6, so set a reminder on your watch or PDA around 5:30 to call and cancel one of them.

We did that last year, but made such great time that we canceled and called WDW from the FLA Visitor Center and made ressies for that night.

Thanks! Are the tourbooks free? I was hoping that AAA could find the best deal for me easily from the road.
