We will be staying at the candy cane inn in 3 weeks time, sounds like it lived up to your expectations, was it at all noisey, how was the free breakfast, were the beds/rooms clean and did you make use of the safety deposit boxes?
We are really looking forward to the fireworks shows but will have to go on the weekends to see them, how were the crowds during the fireworks?

The Candy Cane Inn really did live up to all the positive reviews we read about it. During the day, the only noise we heard was the shuttle driving through the parking lot. But that wasn't disturbing. At night, you could hear the outside doors next to us closing, and next room showers running in the mornings, but nothing that woke up anyone who was still sleeping. There were lots of families with small children, and the noise seemed minimal, even with the tired little ones in the evenings.
The breakfast is very good. The dining area is extremely clean and well maintained. They have a big variety of different breakfast items. Muffins, pastries, bagels, breads & jellies, cereal, fresh fruits, coffee, tea, milk juice. We watched the Costco delivery truck come in one evening and deliver all the muffins, danish, cereal, etc. Everything was very fresh. There isnt lots of sitting room inside the dining area, but the double doors are opened out to the pool area where you are welcome to sit and eat. No microwave oven, but a toaster oven for bagels and toast. Its the best continental breakfast weve been to in the Anaheim area.
Our room was very clean. The housekeeping service there is outstanding. The beds are clean and well maintained and very very comfortable. The bed pillows are small, but each bed comes with three extra large throw pillows. During the four days we were there, the maintenance crew painted three different rooms. The carpet in our room was just freshly shampooed, it smelled so nice and fresh. One afternoon when we came back from the parks, our housekeeper was inside the tub, wiping it dry with a towel. I would give the cleanliness of the room a 10.
We didnt make use of the deposit boxes.
The crowds during the fireworks show are crowded! No moving room at all! Main street is roped off into large square areas. Each area is packed tightly with people. You are only aloud view the show from within the roped areas. Otherwise, you are herded like cattle around and around! Is it worth it? Absolutely!! IMO, and youre a true Disney fan, youll never see a more spectacular fireworks display anywhere! It brought tears to my eyes. I got very emotional after every song. Its unbelievable.
Sounds like your trip will be similar to ours. I can know youll have a wonderful Disney, Candy Cane Inn experience.
