Sorry I have no bus info for you but I'm thinking that many were disappointed last year. I know the motel my friends and I stay at is usually fully booked well in advance of the show but this year rooms are still available and the show begins on Wednesday.
We've been going to the show for many years and staying a few days and had our schedule for show, shopping, eating and hanging out down pat but changing the show to a crowded city makes it difficult to get around and get to all the places we wanted to. May in Jersey
