Hard time finding availability May 17-20 - Is there some event that weekend?

[HugsForEeyore]

I been looking around for an off-site hotel for three nights around May 17-20th. My price range is under $90 a night. But, to my surprise, I been having a hard time finding much available! All my usual off-site hotels are listed on their websites as completely booked (Hampton Inn LBV, Hawthorn, Sheraton Safari, etc) or has prices WELL over what I have ever paid in the past in May! Gee, has the tourist industry rebounded that much??? Or have discounts just not been listed yet? I always go to WDW the week before Memorial Day, so this is surprising me to see this. It's usually a good time to go. Or is there some giant convention or event that weekend that I am unaware of?

I'll wait and see, I guess .......

Anyone else noticing May is looking very booked????

Just checked Hotelkingdom,.com, and although some are sold out during that time, there looks to be lots of options in your price range at that time. Only $11 fee if for some reason you need to cancel.

More puzzling ........

I decided to check some of these off-site hotels again for Memorial Day weekend, and guess what? The hotels I checked all had plenty of rooms, even at good prices! Why would the weekend before Memorial Day (May 17-20) be so sold out but Memorial Day isn't??? Now I am more convinced than ever there is some sort of giant convention/event going on!

Thanks for checking hotelkingdom, Ludwig - at least there are some rooms out there!

Oh well! I'll wait and see ...
