Thanks!
Here's what I would suggest in this case: find a travel agent [your local automobile club is a good place to start] and ask the agent to find a hotel for you. As someone who has worked in the travel industry for some time [I work for a travel magazine for travel agents] I can attest that travel agents have many sources at their fingertips that we consumers do not. Yes, you may have to pay a small fee but given your unique circumstances it is worth it.
Good luck! If worse comes to worse save Knotts[which, BTW, is near the Disney Resort] for another trip. That park ain't going anywhere ;)

Burbank airport is actually the closest to SFMM. About 20 miles, I think. LAX is usually cheaper, but you might save some money on shuttle costs. Unfortunately, I don't know of a hotel near SFMM that offers shuttle service into the park.
I've been told that Enterprise Rent-a-car does not charge an "under 25" premium if you get a car at a non-airport location. You may want to poke around their website to see if you can find a pick-up location within a cab ride away from the airport.
If you do go to a travel agent, make sure you find one that actually knows LA. I've met many travelers that ended up miles away from their expected location or in a less than desirable area.
And if you are thinking of going to Knotts, I suggest driving a few miles down the road and checking out Disney instead if you haven't been there.
Rent a car. There are a number of rental car companies that will rent to under 25.
One last thing. There are lot of undesirable neighborhoods in the middle between Valencia and Buena Park. Trying to pick a half way point could put you in the wrong spot.
Not sure if you are over the age of 21, but I am not and am traveling to California to visit Knotts and SFMM in July. The rates arn't too extremely bad.
Has anyone had any experience with this company?
