We're staying at the Desert Inn and Suites in Oct. w/ our 4 kids (9, 7, 3 and 10 mo.). They have a few different suite options that sleep from 6-10 people. there's one w/ 2 queens and a sofa sleeper and 3 that have 4 queens w/ 2 bathrooms. One only has a toilet in the second bath but the other 2 have 2 full baths. Their website is http://www.anaheimdesertinn.com I'm sure you'll get more advice.

We stayed at Portofino Inn and Suites on Harbor this time, and it was nice. They have "kids' suites" that can accomodate up to 6 people--one king bed, a bunk bed, and a pull out sofa that will sleep two. The rooms also have a frig and a microwave and two tvs. The room was fairly large--lots of room for our junk --and there are french doors between the kid area and the adult area for privacy.

The only thing I didn't like about this hotel was that they shared their shuttle service with several other hotels. The shuttle picked up at Portofino first, so by the time it made its stops it took about 15 minutes to get to Disneyland (about how long it would take to walk!). It wasn't a huge deal, though, and I would stay there again, although I still like Candy Cane the best .

Have you considered *connecting* rooms? We were at WDW last Nov. and had connecting rooms (which is technically different from ADJOINING rooms apparently....) at the Boardwalk Inn....DH and I were in one room, and 3 kids were in the other. Each room could have slept 5...2 queens and a day-bed each, but we prefered the suite-style of 2 rooms. Plus we had 2 full baths (very nice !)

There was no fridge in our room (something crazy like $20/day extra...) so we bought a $3 styrofoam cooler and filled it with ice daily from the machine to keep milk, juice, etc. cold for our breakfast every morning. Worked like a charm, and we just disposed of the cooler upon checking out.

BTW, from what my travel agent told me, adjoining rooms can be any 2 rooms on the same floor, just kinda NEAR each other, where CONNECTING rooms have an interior door between the two.

I would look at Portofino for a family suite first. There is a Residence Inn nearby, but I'm not sure of their configuration. Hampton Suites is also nice and Castle Inn and Suites also has a similar family suite configuration and is right across Harbor (walking distance).
I would book through AAA to get the free parking as the shuttle service from ANY of the hotels is horrible!!! They all share the Anaheim shuttle and the best thing about those buses is....well, nothing.
GOOD LUCK!
