It is only about 30-40 minutes from USC to Disneyland in off-traffic.
You'd probably want to get there first thing in the morning to beat
the crowds.  Choose your favorite rides and go on them the first hour
the park opens to avoid the longer lines.

The Southern CA residence price of $22 is good until June 30.

I see zillions of inexpensive hotels surrounding the park in the
high $20s range.  There are classy hotels with higher prices too.

There are a few other things to do around Anaheim too.  Nearby is
the Crystal Cathedral, an impressive piece of architecture.  See
what themedia-hyping of religion can do.

A little up the freeway is another theme park called Knott's Berry farm
with a few small tourist museums nearby.
