We have stayed at the host hotel the last 6 years and it IS the place to be if you want to take everything in.There is also a toy and rare parts sale there on the Sat afternoon.
I'd wait till it's closer as there are always seat sales. Last year we paid around 350 i think per person, may have been $400. But well worth it!
