I think you've only two choices: eat the fee or spend an extra day in orange county. There's a lot to be said for Orange County--since I live in LA County, I am going to say them! If I were you--and I had the time--I'd just find a reasonably priced hotel in OC or near the coast and enjoy the extra day in sunny SoCal!
