Hi everyone! We have been back for just over a week from our trip. Budget wise, I think 20k would be possible being that one is a baby so wouldn't cost too much to feed! I found LA and surrounds quite cheap in general. I shared meals with my 12 year old daughter most places. We also found that because the portions were so large we were able to eat only twice a day quite comfortably! In LA we ate at IHOP, subway, the occasional Denny's. We stayed at Hollywood Orchid Suites which was lovely and clean and they bent over backwards to accomodate us when we first arrived in the early AM and my daughter was a bit unwell. I couldn't fault them. There's a big but coming though... I wouldn't stay there again! The area was so loud and noisy and seedy! I think Magic Castle is just around the corner so I imagine it would be similar in the noise stakes. In hindsight, we should have stayed somewhere near El Segundo and day tripped to Hollywood instead of staying amongst it. We stayed at Hyatt Place in Anaheim and had no dramas there either. It was walking distance to Disney and had clean rooms. Good luck planning your trip! I think that's the best part!
