AAA cardholders enjoy more than just roadside service with their memberships. Trip planning, maps, discounts on home and auto insurance and retail discounts are a few of the perks that come with the card. With higher plans come medical assistance, rental cars, additional towing perks and other emergency services. One of the advantages of an AAA membership is that when you vacation in Orlando, Fla., you can also get a discount at participating hotels.
Enjoy your AAA room discount when you stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort. Indulge in a game or two of golf or play tennis or racquetball. Bring your dog with you--this Hyatt is pet-friendly. Grand Cypress gives visitors six options for meals on the premises. You will feel as if you were in Key West in the Hemingway dining room, and for a special meal on Sundays, try Sunday Brunch--La Coquina. Three bars and a coffee shop provide plenty of opportunity for socializing. Disney World sits next to Grand Cypress, making it an ideal location for accommodations when visiting the mouse. Sea World and Universal also are nearby.

Another spectacular way to use your AAA discount is at the Gaylord Palms. This resort and convention center is an architectural wonder that you will never forget. A glass ceiling soars over the 4 1/2-acre atrium and lets the Florida sunshine in while keeping the temperature at a comfortable degree. This enclosed courtyard has four distinct Florida sections: Emerald Bay, St. Augustine, the Everglades and Key West. Restaurants inside this atrium include a steakhouse and a Mediterranean experience called Villa de Flora. Or enjoy a seafood meal aboard a real sailboat moored in the waters of the Key West Atrium.
