Laura,
We are already booked for January and will hopefully be applying a AAA rate when it comes out. Hopefully, we will be able to discount our stay even more when/if the AP rates come out.
We have always booked our rooms well in advance and then had discounts applied at they became available.
I don't think you would have any problem getting rooms in January if you decide to wait a while longer. I booked ours for this past January last October when we were able to get airline tickets for $100.00 each out of Detroit.
