I'm with Goof Father.
Disney property is great, but can be pricy...if you're not going to stay on property the only other choice (in my mind) than staying at the Candy Cane Inn

We have stayed there on 5 different trips and LOVE it every time, they have Disney-quality staff who always go above and beyond for us, as well as the FREE (air-conditioned) shuttle every half hour that is only for their property.
Almost all of the other hotel/motels in the area now use the Anaheim Resort Transportation which costs money and stops a million times.

I really can't say enough good about this proterty, we always not stay half our time in Candy Cane Inn and half the time in a Disney resort, we love this combination.
