I was looking through my book from AAA last night regarding our trip and they had something in there about this thing where a princess reads a story to a group of kids. I think (don't have the book with me) it said something about complimentary passes or priorty seating or something that came with our package.
So, can anyone tell me what this is?? And do I need to make reservations for this or get a ticket, or do I just show up?
Thanks :)

It's been a few years, but there used to be a AAA lounge in the Magic Kingdom. Only AAA members could go in, and it was a nice break from the crowds, when my kids were little. They did the storytelling there, and, as I recall, it was late in the afternoon. You, very likely, got a secondary character-the one time we did it, we got the Fairy Godmother. A child of preschool age would find it entertaining. I am pretty sure they closed the lounge, but I'm not positive about that. You did need a reservation, and, if memory serves, they did not do it every day, so we only had one chance to do it on our trip. I suggest you call your local AAA and talk to a travel agent about it. As I recall, by the time I got the voucher with the contact number, it was pretty well booked up, but I did manage to get a reservation.

Excellent advice there.
And I think you're right about the lounge being closed - but I can't say for sure because I've never done a AAA 'package'. (Done AAA room-only discounts, but that doesn't come with all the bells and whistles.)

Belle reads a story (Storytime with Belle) - I can't quite grasp the location in y head, somewhere to the right of the castle I think.... It's very popular.

It's sort of between the castle and Tomorrowland. Basically as you go clockwise from Pooh back towards the hub, it's there on the right.

If you book your package through AAA, you do get a voucher for a "special" storytime in MK. I think it is almost always Cinderella's Fairy Godmother. It has a number to call to reserve a time to go. We never got around to doing it. It sounds like it might be a nice break for the younger kids. They can chill out in the AC and have a little down time.
Belle's Storytime is also in MK and open to everyone. You have to get there early because they only allow a certain number of people into the Storytime Garden. It is to the side of the Castle. This is one of our favorite things to do. We went last time for our 3 year old so she could meet Belle, and guess who got to help Belle tell her story...my 12 year old son! He was a very good sport! It is a nice place to meet n greet Belle. She stays after to sign autographs and take pictures.

We loved story time with Belle! Definitely something to check out if you have little princesses with you.
