Hello, All! As far as hotel pricing goes, I encourage everyone to try to
obtain a copy of the AAA Tourbook for California. As a AAA member who knew
I would be taking my family to AALL, I called some of the toll-free numbers
in the Tourbook and asked several hotels for prices. (MANY hotels seem to
be within walking distance (two to three blocks) from both Disneyland and
the Convention Center.) I found a "family suite" at a hotel across the
street from Disneyland and two blocks from the Convention Center for only
$92.00 per night - considerably less than what the AALL hotels are
charging.
Just a friendly FYI !
