Try checking out www.kayak.com
They'll show you fares for all major airlines except Southwest, as well as check other travel sites like Expedia and Orbitz to see if they're offering any specials.

My son goes to school at Hofstra so I understand that Islip could be way out of your way, (I know it is for him) but for the savings it might be worth checking.

if you have a big screen Kayak is the way to go, otherwise it can get a little messy if you're working on a 13 inch laptop.

That is school vacation week for NY, RI, MA, and CT public schools. It is also the week before Easter. (Easter is 4/24 this year)
I hate to be a downer, but I don't think the OP is going to find any good airfare deals. This is our 3rd consecutive year going to Disney during that week, and I've learned to book on Southwest the second (literally) they open flights for purchase. The prices only go up from there. Sorry.

April is always an expensive month for travel, especially the closer you get to Easter/Spring Break time, which is when you're traveling. If money is really tight - but time is not - consider Amtrak. My wife and baby & I did it a few years ago, taking the Autotrain from Lorton, VA (four hour drive from the NJ shore) to Sanford, FL (about an hour from WDW). Despite our jitters when it came to traveling with an infant at the time, I'd do it again. Granted you could take the train from Penn Station or plenty of other places, but the nice thing about taking the Autotrain is that you travel with your car in storage, so you can pack it to the gills if you need to. No worries about extra luggage fees. If you want to bring some groceries, you can. We packed two strollers and our baby's pack-n-play as well as plenty of diapers. Brought what we needed on the train, left the rest in the car (well, we did bring more out of the car then we needed, mistakes for the newbies). Splurged on a private cabin with private bathroom. On the Autotrain, full dinner, bottled waters and continental breakfast are included, there's a lounge car, plenty of AC outlets for laptops or portable entertainment options. No worries about extra bags for souvenirs on the way home, just stow it in the car. And at the time, when gas prices were skyrocketing, it wasn't much more than airfare plus a rental car (especially when you factor in how much more we would've spent on extra baggage fees each way). Sure it's not as fast as the plane, but look at it this way; once you're at WDW, you'll probably be on the go every single day. This is a chance to decompress, spend some time together looking forward to the trip. Enjoy the journey and the destination.
Oh, and no one from the TSA is looking for explosives up in your sac, either.
