To stay on-site or not to stay on-site...

[GoBears 1980]

Thank you all so much! You've definitely made me feel better about the possibility of staying off-site. My BF has Marriott rewards, and it seems that there are plenty in the area! Any recommendations for Marriotts preferably within walking distance?

I also am going to look into renting DVC points. It seems like its a long shot, but might as well give it a try!

The new Springhill Suites Anaheim Resort Convention Center (not the Springhill Suites on Ball) would be my first rec followed by the Residence Inn Maingate, Fairfield Inn and Anaheim Marriott.
