Any deals to really bring down the price of monorail hotels for a family of 5? We always stay offsite for the better price.

As a comparison, we were debating going 12/16 vs. 1/6 to fit my son’s college schedule. 12/16 had decent discounts available, while at the time 1/6 had nothing. The 1/6 dates were still considerably cheaper. Now that you can get discounts in January/February there likely would be a huge discount in pricing.
