you can ask at reception for a hairdryer, and no, no characters are at any of the onsite hotels anymore, outside of the character meals at the Disneyland Hotel.
I wondered if we did!Wow you had a renovated room! We were there too last week but had an old room (with the bunkbeds) and it really showed unfortunately. I am glad they are doing a big renovation roundup of all the hotels, it is much needed.
We stayed here for two nights on 15 October 2018.
We were a party of 5 adults, sharing two rooms.
I booked room only rate using Expedia, which includes the tax that can sometimes be additional when booking room only via other sites. We have annual passes so don't need a package that includes park tickets.
We arrived in the evening, approx. 21:00. The reception was busy, about 5 people in front of us but we didn’t wait too long to be seen. Receptionist was very nice and we filled in some forms with our details. We were all given a Hotel Pass which works as a room key, payment card and for EMH access to the parks. I like this new electronic idea instead of the paper slips. I also like that we all get one meaning if we wanted to split up for EMH or anything then we can without having to get a duplicate paper slip from reception. My DS left his debit card details with reception, meaning he could use the Hotel Pass for payment throughout the resort..
This is really helpful as looking at staying at the Cheyenne for our first trip later this year. Could I please ask a question about the EMH? I’m considering buying APs for me and my partner. I’d be getting the Infinity for myself (which includes EMH), and a cheaper one for my partner (that doesn’t include EMH). If we get a room only deal at the Cheyenne, would he still be allowed to then use the EMH even though his AP doesn’t include them?
Yes, staying in a Disney hotel let’s you have EMH regardless of which type of pass you have. We all have Discovery passes. You also bypass any blackout days by staying on site too (not to be confused with the contractual blockout days just after purchasing the Discovery passes). We bought ours online to avoid this and they were delivered in just over a week. Have a great trip
