Disney Hotel Santa Fe is one of the best value ways to stay onsite at Disneyland® Paris, offering magical Disney benefits at a fraction of the price of other hotels. And it’s all just a 20 minute walk away from the Disneyland Paris Theme Parks… or hop onto one of the free shuttle buses and let the driver do all the hard work!
To get you ready for your stay, here are 5 things you need to know about Disney Hotel Santa Fe!
1. It’s themed after Cars and Route 66
If you or anyone in your group are a fan of Lightning McQueen then this is the hotel for you! The themed touches are impossible to miss, with a large picture of Lightning McQueen and Sally and a glowing neon sign greeting you as soon as you arrive at Disney Hotel Santa Fe. This is continued throughout the guest rooms as well, with traffic cone lights and Cars bedspreads.
2. There’s a Tex Mex all-you-can-eat buffet
When it comes to dining, you definitely won’t be left hungry at Disney Hotel Santa Fe as there’s an all-you-can-eat buffet on site. Stop by La Cantina to fuel up on Tex Mex and International Food, including build-your-own fajitas, Cars-shaped pasta, and even a salad bar served from the bed of a truck! If you’re staying at the hotel you can also book a table for a tasty buffet breakfast of pastries, fruit, yoghurts, cereals, deli meat, cheese and more! There’s even an indoor play area in the restaurant for any little ones that need to let off some steam.
Don’t forget to add a meal plan to your booking to really make the most of all the restaurants on offer throughout the resort!

3. There’s a Starbucks onsite
Disney Hotel Santa Fe is one of just two hotels at Disneyland Paris - the other being Disney Hotel Cheyenne - with a Starbucks cafe. That means you can grab your morning coffee to drink on the walk to the Disneyland Paris Parks, so you don’t have to waste any of those precious minutes during Extra Magic Time when you could be riding Crush’s Coaster instead!
4. You can meet Mickey and Friends in the lobby
If you time it right, you might see Mickey Mouse or one of his friends in the lobby while you’re at Disney Hotel Santa Fe. Not only is this another great way to save time when you’re in Disneyland® Park or Walt Disney Studios® Park (the queue will likely be shorter here compared to in the Parks) but you will also be able to meet them in outfits exclusive to this location. So get those cameras and autograph books ready and strike a pose!

5. The hotel has a giant volcano
Yes you read that right! Before Disney Hotel Santa Fe was Cars themed, it told the story of how the landscape of New Mexico came to be, from myths and legends to real natural phenomena. While many of the key elements of this theming have now been removed, including a crash landed UFO, there is still a very large volcano to the eastern side of the hotel that you need to check out during your stay.
