Yeeehaw, partner! Welcome to the most Frontierland-style hotel at Disneyland Paris, a place that transports you straight back to the Wild West and makes you think of Big Thunder Mountain the moment you arrive.
Disney Hotel Cheyenne is a super kid-friendly resort and often compared to a value resort at Walt Disney World. Prices start around $200, the theming is solid, and it’s still close to the parks. Is it fancy with the best restaurants and rooms around? Not really. But you come to Hotel Cheyenne for the price… and if you’ve got kids who love the idea of living in the Wild West surrounded by Toy Story characters, this is the perfect spot.
What we like about Disney Hotel Cheyenne
When I think about Hotel Cheyenne, the All-Star Resorts at Disney World come to mind. Maybe Cheyenne is a bit like them, but slightly better for one simple reason: theming. Oh, and it’s a little less chaotic too, since there are plenty of resort options nearby for similar prices. The theming here is fantastic, and young kids should absolutely love it. I mean, who doesn’t love the Wild West?
The whole place is designed to look like an old frontier town, straight out of the movies or a series like Westworld. Even the Starbucks looks like an old bank! You’ll find wagons and little forts scattered around that double as playgrounds, and you can even rent a pony so your kids can go for a ride. On top of that, the resort gives you the chance to meet Woody and Jessie from Toy Story for some awesome pictures. If you’re traveling with children and just want a laid-back resort that won’t break the bank, Hotel Cheyenne is a fun and safe choice.
Another good perk? The free shuttle bus. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Wait, isn’t that resort within walking distance of the parks?” And yes, it is. But here’s the thing, the walking path takes you through Disney Hotel New York and Disney Village, and it’s about a 15 to 20 minute stroll. The bus, on the other hand, is more of a straight shot, and Hotel Cheyenne might just have the shortest bus ride to the parks. That’s great news if you’ve got mobility issues or, let’s be honest, if you oversleep and need a quick way to make it in time for Early Entry.
Don’t expect five-star dining here, but you’ll find a cool bar styled like an old west saloon and, most importantly, a Starbucks! Starbucks locations aren’t that common at Disneyland Paris, so it’s a nice perk that Hotel Cheyenne has one. Even better, it comes with a cute theme, made to look like an old bank. Just… please don’t take your Wild West roleplay too far and try to rob all the Frappuccinos. The lines here are way shorter than at the Starbucks in Disney Village, so it’s a smart move to wake up early, grab your coffee here, and then head to the parks with caffeine in hand.
Rooms are also good, with air conditioning and ceiling fans. A lot of guests actually prefer these rooms over the more expensive ones at Disney Sequoia Lodge.
What we don’t like about Disney Hotel Cheyenne
Disney Hotel Cheyenne is pretty good, even if it’s not for everyone. It’s a fun pick for adults too, but many might prefer something a bit more romantic. The rooms are nice but simple, and definitely not what you’d call romantic or elegant. There’s no swimming pool on-site, and the restaurants are just okay. On the plus side, you do get a Starbucks, which is a solid perk for a hotel in this category. If you’re planning an adults-only trip or a romantic getaway at Disneyland Paris, there are better options nearby. Disney Sequoia Lodge, for example, is a stronger choice.
Conclusion
Traveling with your kids and looking for an affordable place to stay at Disneyland Paris? Disney Hotel Cheyenne is a safe and solid choice. The theming is fantastic, it’s close to the parks, and the on-site Starbucks is a lifesaver when you’re heading out early in the morning. It might not be perfect for a romantic weekend in Paris and it doesn’t have the fanciest amenities, but it nails everything else that matters.
