Travel Note
Prices for hotels in Phoenix vary greatly depending on season. My notes regarding standard pricing were from Expedia in January. Please make sure to check trip advisor, etc. for reviews on the hotels. I have tried to provide a range of options, and avoid anything truly horrible. After I see more rsvps, I'll look at getting a block of rooms somewhere.
Flight
I can't price check October flights at this time because Southwest isn't booking in October yet (checked January). Flights from Santa Ana to Phoenix can be as cheap as $200 round trip per person, or as much as $400 per person depending on the times you choose.
