At Disneyland we stayed in the Hotel Cheyenne. It's one of the cheaper hotels, but very authentic. It was a small Western village. Our house name was Bufallo Bill. Dark wood everywhere, Indian artifacts, a corral. The room itself was of medium size. 1 double bed, 1 set of bunk beds - all authentic Western-style (with a cowboy boot lamp!!) Made you feel that you should have your hat, boots and spurs on! Each themed compound has it's own themed restaraunt, bar and shops.
Howdy Pardners!

We have just returned from a short break to Disneyland Paris having stayed at the Hotel Cheyenne. Like everyone who uses this site I checked the reviews and generally felt I was selecting a good hotel. We'd visited Disneyland Paris some 10 years ago and stayed at the Sante Fe which was pretty basic and not pretty to look at so decided to book the next one up.
I really liked this hotel and check in was easy, reception staff explained everything about the room, location, how to get breakfast and use of the luggage holding area which is handy if you want to spend a few hours at the park prior to leaving for your flight (check out is 11.00 a.m.)
We were located in the Doc Holliday block. The room was small but very comfortable and the kids (5 & 8) loved the bunk beds. We asked for extra pillows and they arrived straight away. Breakfast is located in the restaurant in the main reception building. You pre-select what time you want to have breakfast every day and are given a particular coloured card which you hand in. Obviously, it's continental breakfast, cereals, fruit, bread, meats and cheese and there's plenty of it. We chose the 8 o'clock slot which was really quiet. Don't worry the room is huge and there was plenty of tables, however if you're travelling during peak season it might not be as easy. Just about everyone takes more than they can eat simply to take along to the parks as it is quite expensive once you get in.
You can walk to the parks quite easily along the river, takes about 10/15 mins to reach the Disney Village which has loads of Disney shops, bars and restaurants. Once you walk through here you can take your pick to visit Disneyland or Disney Studios. Both good entertainment however, as mentioned before quite expensive once you get in. If you have small children but want to try the larger rides, make sure you ask an employee on the ride for a parent swap ticket. This allows your partner to wait in the exit area of the ride with the kids then when you come off the ride, your partner shows the attendant the ticket and by-passes the queues to get straight onto the ride. Push them about this cause some we asked shook their heads as if they knew nothing about it. Make sure you check out the stunt show in Disneyland Studios - it's great entertainment.
Best time to go on the larger rides is during the parades as most people start lining the route 45 mins before it starts.
Nothing much to do once you arrive back at the hotel however you can pre-book dinner - we didn't as we chose to eat at the Disney Village. Average cost for a basic burger meal for 4 was 37 euros here, at the Disney Parks it's around 25 euros but be warned it is mostly fast food and to be honest after 3 days we were sick of fries! It costs up to 2.90 euros for bottled drinks although there are water fountains you can use to fill up empty bottles.
Word of advice, if you intend to catch the VEA Disneyland Shuttle bus to and from the airport make sure you add an additional 120 euros to your spending money. It's 16 euros per adult and 13 euros per child each way although 2 and under travel free. You can pay as you board. Check out VEA's website for departure times from the airports and Disney hotels to help plan your arrival times.
To wrap it all up, the Cheyenne is a good place to stay if you simply want somewhere to sleep after a hectic day at the parks. It was really quiet at this time of year and we never heard any noise later in the evening.
Hope this helps and if you are planning a visit have a great time, we did.
Great Festive trip

Stayed at the Cheyenne for the second time 24th-27th November - not disappointed. The room was smaller than I remembered but perfectly adequate for our needs (basically a bed for the night!). Clean, comfortable and warm if looking a little tired.
The breakfast scramble was not as bad as I remembered and there was always a free seat but I think this was due to the time of year and the general quietness of the whole resort.
Ate in the hotel one evening and the lunchtime of our departure day - both meals adequate.
Parks very quiet for the first two days (weekdays) then busier at the weekend but we managed to do everything we wanted to do on the quiet days and then just soaked up the fantastic Christmas atmosphere which was only added to by real snow!
Although I feel that the Florida parks have more atmosphere and polite/helpful staff, it felt very festive and that's what I wanted - to see Disney at Christmas. It was very cold (below freezing) and it snowed (both not usual in November I understand). The effect would just not be the same in the warmth of Florida
