Tour Guide Mike would always suggest ending a WDW trip with a fireworks show whether it's Fantasmic, Wishes, or Epcot, so maybe the same idea will carry over to a "trasnfer" hotel as we call it LOL!

Check the Caribe Royale website every Wed for their one day sale. Each week, they have a special listed Wed. Only. They have good deals. On Black Friday, they had a deal for a 2 Queen Suite for $118 for dates including early April. I had it booked but changed to CBR so that i could use my Disney Visa Reward dollars for our last night. I think if you keep an eye on their deals, you should be able to get the price that you want.
And it really is very close. Close enough that if you wanted to take break and go there to swim and use the pool slide in the afternoon, it is really easy and you don't hit the traffic.

Thanks for the info, both on the location and the Wednesday deals. I will keep my eyes open for a good price.

Take a look at the hotels on Palm Pkwy - in particular the Hawthorne Suites - no pressure at check in - suite sized rooms with separate living room/free hot breakfast for the next morning before you hit the road - and I think you can get in the price range you're looking for - (We found it to be very easy/quick in the DTD area but not directly on Hotel Plaza Blvd.)
