Despite my traumas at Charles de Gaulle i did have a fantastic time. Anyone who is in two minds about going alone then i would say just do it, you will not regret it.
I couldn't fault the Santa Fe hotel, my room was ready at 10am and was already lovely and warm.
Ok so it doesn't have the theming the Cheyenne (my fav) but i would not hesitate to stay there again.
The parks were empty, i was shocked at how quiet it was. I walked straight into the Annual Passport Bureau and was seen straight away, passport in hand within 10 mins if that. The longest queue was Crush at 20 mins, yes 20 mins.:eek: BTM 5 mins at one point along with most other rides in the main park.
It really was a fantastic time to go, i got so much done and one night was enough to do everything in. I even went back to the hotel for a couple of hours on Thursday afternoon ready to go back and watch the parade etc in the evening.
The only slight niggle and it is slight is the buses to and from Santa Fe. They seemed very few and far between and at one point 2 buses had been and gone to the Cheyenne and there were loads and loads of us waiting at the Santa Fe.
Anyway here are a few pictures of the snow we had whilst i was there, it definately made it so much more magical. :goodvibes
