Originally Posted By AZDLDad I hated to wait- so I went ahead and raised my bid to $72, still a bargain to me, and won the Double Tree in Orange. We've stayed here before and really liked it. This comes to about 60% of the Hotwire pricing for comparable star level that Darkbeer posted. Thank you to all who responded.

Tuesday was going to be a down day for us at the hotel.

I have white hair and will have my white MM hat on. Just two of us. All we need to do is meet and greet and be on our way. We both enjoy the Billys.... can't wait to see them and possibly you. We are driving from the same area, Phoenix. We will be on the road Saturday, Mar 8., but will stay out of the park that night. We don't expect to arrive til 8pm as we are stopping in Corona to visit cousins.

My DH and I ate there last November and they gave us much more than we could eat and it was all YUMMY! A little bit of the Valley at the happiest place on earth. Have lots of fun, you two!
Originally Posted By Pollyana That sounds good I must say! And we must organize a mini meet in Mesa soon!
Originally Posted By AZDLDad Sorry, I haven't had a chance to check your responses for a few days. We can try to make it to see you before you head into the show, or I just might come inside if I am running late. We too are driving over on Saturday (block out day) and hope to be at the turnstiles before opening on Sunday.
