WDW road trip planning

I hope this is the right forum for this question.

I love Mapquest, but does anyone know a direction site that gives an option to avoid major construction areas?

Have you tried AAA?

I'm not aware of how reliable the construction info. is for other route planners, although if you know where the construction is taking place, you can plot a Mapquest route and then customize it. Just "click-and-drag" portions of the mapped-out route to go around the construction area...

AAA Triptik says it has construction info for planned routes. I haven't used it myself, so I'm not sure how accurate or reliable it is.

I have used Triptiks before on several cross-country trips and never ran into any problems...

Gravy! Now is there an option on Triptik to avoid toll roads?

I just ran a sample TripTik from my home in NY to Orlando, Florida. Not only did it show me where there was construction, it gave me advisories about roads that tend to be congested during certain times of day, warnings about places where traffic law enforcement is unusually strict, and alternate "scenic routes" off the highway (which would go a long way toward avoiding tolls). As always, you also have the option of having it indicate where to find local restaurants, gas stations, motels, etc. Pretty sweet.
