Originally Posted By Darkbeer April 22nd thru the 29th, much quiter, so hopefully better deals on hotel rooms.

HoJos is $30 cheaper per night by going the second dates so we more than make up for the increased cost of the tickets. I will play with travelaxe when I get home from work. Hi MJ

Enjoy your trip

But you are much better off staying at the Red Roof Inn on Disney Way (another Accor Hotel) or using something like Hotwire or Priceline to get a room in the area, usually for about the same price as Motel 6.
