During our visit to Disneyland Paris in January 2006 we stayed at the Hotel Santa Fe. It was our first time staying at one of the Disney Hotels and we really enjoyed it, we had been to Disneyland Paris before, but always stayed at hotels that were a long drive from the park and that meant a lot of wasted time each day on coaches and we had to go and come back at the times we were told. Staying at Santa Fe was much better, we have also now been back in October 2007 and stayed at Hotel Cheyenne, another Disney Hotel. Santa Fe is the cheapest of the "proper" hotels and the buildings are a little bit bland, it still managed to capture some of the Disney Magic and was well worth it. Some of the little bits are worth having a look around for, such as the half-buried cars and a crashed UFO!

Hotel Santa Fe photos: More coach loads of people arriving, some may have been on the coaches for hours, some were just being transferred from the station. |
 |
Hotel Santa Fe photos: A cactus in a greenhouse, also shows the slightly boring design of the buildings. |
 |
Hotel Santa Fe photos: Even the snake at the end of our Road looked cute and friendly. |

Hotel Santa Fe photos: One advantage Santa Fe does have is this petrol station, that may not sound very useful for those who came by train or coach, but the great shop is not a Disney one and so the prices are a lot cheaper. |
