I have not been down to OC in several years for cruisin week, the number of idiots, jackasses and ********* were astronomical in amount. From what ive been reading and hearing from friends that have gone it has got worse over the last few years.
That being said i was interested in going this year. Due to my job I am forced to pick my vacations several months in advance. The vacation picks also go by seniority on the job. The best week i could pick just happened to be during cruisin week.
I typically visit OC during off season due to the vacation picking issue, normally pay around $50 a night for a motel room. When I checked prices for 2016 cruisin week I was shocked. The same motels are now $200-$300 a night. Whats funny is I checked prices a few weeks ago before the dates of cruisin week were announced and the were only about $90 a night. I dont remember ever paying several hundred dollars a night for a room. How long have room prices been this high? I thought about sharing a room with friends but a majority of properties only allow parking for 1 vehicle. Does anybody have suggestions on a more affordable room?

wow thats insane.
as long as people keep paying the steep prices they will continue to creep higher every year, i wonder where the tipping point will be and enough people stop going.
is cruisin week before or after high school senior week?

You can also use homeaway and VRBO and other sites. Rent from a condo or house owners. Can be MUCH cheaper.
And senior week is June. I will NEVER be in OC in June ever again. They call all the kids June Bugs. And its more than a week as different schools let out different times.

Staying at the Carousel this year with some buddies. They have an awesome parking garage as well. I think we're paying $175 per night, which isn't bad at all. Hoping to have a nice turnout with 0% rain!

Does anyone know if the carrousel allows trailer parking? We usually rent a house but this year I might just stay there. My family has a house in slaughter beach about an hour up the road so that might be an option as well...
