I have been a AAA member since the early 70s. I have found that AAA may not always be the best way to go. Do some research using various combinations of room rates and tickets versus packages and see which one is best for you. If you have a good agent at AAA, he or she can sometimes match the best deal you have found. You also must trust the AAA agent you work with. Some have had trouble with the AAA agent they work with. I have had nothing but good luck with the office I use. I have been using them since 1993. To sum up, do your homework.
