a dream is a wish your heart makes

remember this post and this post about how badly I want to go to a certain magical place where all your dreams come true?
well my dream might be coming true after all!
Jason and I are tentatively planning a trip to Disneyland in November. It will be our first trip just as a family and we are very, very excited to take the girls to Disneyland. There are so many fun experiences that we want them to have--meeting Mickey Mouse (even though Tempe has officially already done that when she was a baby), going on all of our favorite rides, buying Helena's first pair of mouse ears (Tempe already has a pair). We are also planning on going to the beach for a few hours one morning.
But here is where I need your help.
We need a good place to stay, and since we have a low budget, it's hard finding a decent place. Here is my criteria:
  • Within .5 mile from Disneyland
  • Continental breakfast
  • Microwave and refrigerator in the room
  • Free parking
  • Either seperate living room/bedroom, or a big enough bathroom to fit a portacrib in
  • Not gross/shady
  • Under $120/night with our AAA discount
So does anyone have any suggestions of places I should check out?

We really enjoyed the Candy Cane Inn! Check it out - they may or may not have all that you are looking for, but it is super close and it was very nice!

We plan to continue to do a trip there every May since Josh likes to attend the dental meeting every year at the convention center across the street from Disneyland!

And... so far Candy Cane Inn has been our favorite!
