Hi Laura, I last stayed at Sante Fe in 2004 !!!! ( way before it was Cars themed & the blocks were named after characters ... i'll check if I still have my booking info anywhere 😛 Omg, I found my hotel & room map from 2004.... I was in building 24 room 434 and the 2nd block was called Trail of Water and I was actually close by to the river so an easy walk along - so update that to 2024 and the equivalent would be the Mater block, how cool! 🤩 ) Thank you for such for a great detailed overview of Hotel Santa Fe 😍Love the Cars theming , am a huge fan of the films. And how good is it having a Starbucks there too, so handy! Regarding the rooms, they're great as you have all you need but I think when I stayed there it was in summer, so even with the ceiling fans it was soooooo hot! Hopefully , they'll upgrade them with air con at some point. Fab info regarding the best blocks to stay in regarding your circumstances? Thanks x
That's so cool, you stayed there all that time ago - really interesting to hear your details and fun for others to know in the comments. You are right with the no air con at Santa Fe - which is a big difference to some of the other hotels but we have stayed in Summer and never had an issue, but yes in the height of summer it can get pretty warm in the Hotel rooms. It's not something that would put us off, as we have stayed plenty of places without air con in hot countries. So glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Thanks as always in watching and for your interesting facts on Santa Fe!. Oh by the way...I have seen videos with Christmas Winnie myself, so cute. It's Christmas at Disneyland Paris now!.xx
Hi laura.. i would like to ask one thing: i weigh about 100 kilo. Are those matresses soft or hard?. To me thats important info. Greets from holland..i would use the luggage service: when i arrive by train : employees bring my luggage from the trainstation, to the hotel rooms.so you can go straight into the parks and dont worry about bringing your luggage to the hotel yourself
Another great video. I will definitely call the hotel a week before to request a block closer to the park. It will be our 3rd visit and can't wait!(We was only supposed to go as a one off😋)Do you happen to know what time breakfast is served from? Cheers.
Hi there, thanks for watching...lots more coming up on the channel. Do you know, we were exactly the same back in 2017 - Emily was 7 years old and we booked every character dining experience and did everything like a one off, that we wouldn't go back. By the end of the trip me and Emily were in tears and I was like...no we have to come back ha ha. Since then a few times a year!, stayed in quite a few of the other Hotels at Disney, but nothing wrong with Santa Fe - obviously if not much in the price, I would try one of the others absolutely but when there is a big gap pricing wise no point when Santa Fe has got everything you need. Just had a look at our Road Map you get given in Santa Fe for some times for you:- Breakfast in La Catina is 7am-11am, Dinner 6pm-10.30pm. Starbucks 7am-11pm. Rio Grande Bar for drinks 5.30pm-12am. Trading Post Shop 8am-11pm. Hot Drink Dispenser machines are confirmed as the front larger blocks nearest river, so Luigi is block 14, Mater is block 33, McQueen is 46 and Sally is 54. The nearest to parks is Luigi, but then Mater, not that much in it really. Some people would prefer McQueen & Sally if closer to Reception and facilities, as you can have breakfast and then hop on a shuttle bus to Parks. If walking and not breakfast then Luigi is best. Are you thinking of a meal plan? - we have a video, granted very long but you could skip parts all about meal plans and breakfast etc, you might find it useful. We don't buy meal plans and the video explains exactly why. Thanks so much for watching.
