Just got back from DL and had a fabulous and inexpensive time. Stayed for 3 nights at Marriot Suites Costa Mesa for $35/night via priceline. Great 2 room suite with king bed in master bedroom and sofa bed in other room, 2 tv's and balcony. ONLY 20 minute drive to front gates for those of you who don't want to stay within walking distance and are on a budget. Also, was able to use leftover WDW hopper days at both parks. Got the parks as soon as they opened, utilized fastpass as much as possible, and did everything we wanted to do in both parks in 2 days. Finished up our CA trip at Hilton LAX for $39/night. Great vacation, cheap trip.
