Towing 200 miles question

Hey everyone I'm picking up an 02 WRX 200 miles away this week, and I'm wondering if using a car dolly would be fine? Its a manual So my questions are...

If i disconnect the drive shaft will it be fine on a car dolly?

Any vids or tutorials on disconnecting the drive shaft on a subaru wrx

Can i leave it in neutral and dolly it that way? Or will the front tires want to move to.

My problem is that uhaul online says my mountaineer doesn't weight enough to use the flatbed trailer to pull a wrx, but a 98 civic is fine.. Its a 5.0 v8 mountaineer

Any suggestions?

Why not drive the WRX? Does it not run?

Use AAA?

AAA premier service is $119 a year and you get 200 miles out of it. If you have AAA upgrade for a year than go back down to what ever level you want.
