Do I need to check for AAA or entertainment rates too, or is the AP rate usually best? Now we can be off to DL for the weekend if the hotel price is right. I'm so excited!

MouseSavers.com does a great job of following the different rate codes and current specials. Howard Johnsons on Harbor also does offer a discount off their normal rates, but it is the only Good Neighbor hotel that offers one that I know off. <a href="http://www.hojoanaheim.com/laughingplace" target="_blank">http://www.hojoanaheim.com/lau ghingplace</a>

I had made reservations for two rooms at the Paradise Pier Hotel for those dates back in August because DLH was full. I got the AP discount for those. Then I kept trying to get in on a cancellation at the DLH and then I would cancel the PPH. One week before the trip I got lucky and got one room at the DLH on a cancellation but they refused to give a discount for AP or for AAA.
