Staying at the Santa fa for the first time!

[Ljay]

Im so excited!

Me and my friend are going again on March 3rd for nights! we only decided this a few days ago, we are booking it monday i cant wait!!
We went in oct 08, never thought i would be going back so quickly

We stayed in the Sequoia in oct, we are going to try santa fa this time.

has everyone's experience been good who have stayed at this Hotel?
How often to the shuttle buses run?


A bit off subject here....but ive never been on the RnR Aerosmith ride, and i cant seem to find much info about the ride as in...does it have loops or big dips etc?
i love BTM and Crush, ive been on space mountain once.....but that scared me a little
so was just wondering if it is more like space mountain or BTM

Ive been quite a few times and this is the ride i never seem to go on, i really want to have a go!

I have stayed a couple of times at the Santa Fe. I liked it, because it offered what I needed: clean rooms at a "low" cost. It doesn't have anything fancy, but that's not what I need while at DLP.
If we would stay onsite again in the future, it will be at the Santa Fe.

IMO, the busses ran about every 15 minutes; the walk to the park is quite nice too.

Great news about the trip

RnR is more like Space Mountain - indoor rollercoaster with loops

 

[MinnieMouse73]

RnR is more like Space Mountain than Thunder Mountain - but it's a much smoother ride. It's great fun - we love it!

We have stayed at Santa Fe and it was great.

I've stayed onsite 3 times, twice at Santa Fe. I'd recommend Santa Fe as it offers all the Disney perks at a relatively low price. We found the rooms clean and comfortable which is all you need IMO after a long day at the park. Can't help with the rides as have not been to DLRP since 2004 and my DS was only 3 then so didn't do any of the 'big' rides, can't wait to go later this year.

thanks for your replies

thats good to know about RnR, i thought it would of been more like space mountain! will have to be brave and try it.
I just watched a little video on you tube, looks great

hi i stayed in the santa fe in october and will be staying there again next week. i think its a great low cost hotel. i dont need anything fancy just a clean comfortable bed to sleep in. the buses were very regular but we enjoyed the walk to the park most days

 

[Ljay]

Thats all im interested into, is a clean comfy bed. will be out most of the day

Does the Cheyenne only have one double bed and bunks? can you get rooms there with two double beds?

go on youtube to see what the rides are like

you'll love santa fe don't worry i've been there a long time ago and im going to stay there again on my next trip

 

[Ljay]

Yay its booked

we are going 9th of march to the 13th!! wooohhoooo

ive got a couple of questions any help would be great

While you stay at the santa fe, can you use the sequoia's swimming pool? i thought there might be something like pay a few euros to enter maybe?

We are also thinking of going into Paris one day, we done the night tour last time, we are thinking of doing the day tour, and also maybe going in for a days shopping.
Is it quite easy to get to? do trains run quite regulary to Paris? ive never really been to a big city without the help of my family, so trying to be prepared before hand. I always worry i would never find are way back

Well done on the booking, you leave the day after we arrive.

I can only answer one of your questions, you can't use the pools of other hotels I'm afraid, but to be honest even though we've stayed at both SL and NPB we've never managed to find time for swimming.

Thanks for your reply, aw thats a shame was worth a try
we have got quite a few things planned to do, probably wouldnt end up going in the end anyway. Just last time we went we stayed at the sequoia. we attempted to go swimming one night, just about to put are big toes in the pool, when everyone had to get out! someone was sick in the pool!
