Disney's Hotel Santa Fe

The New Year of 2015 we were staying at Disney's Hotel Santa Fe. It was kind of a last minute decision and it was almost the only available option of the onsite hotels at Disneyland Paris. Mjau, or maybe that was what our Butler told us since it was the cheapest option.
We had spent Christmas at Disneyland Paris and decided to extend our holiday and spend New Years Eve there after spending a couple of days in Paris.

Our room at Disney's Hotel Santa Fe. Mjau we are sleeping in the bed.

The mirror in our bathroom, really nice road sign style to it.

The building our room was in. Really nice Cars details at the top.
The Santa Fe Hotel is themed after the Cars movie and is right next to Hotel Cheyenne, which is fitting. 
The rooms are really nice, you can however tell they are not the same standard as the Disneyland Hotel or even Sequoia Lodge. The towels are smaller and a lot less fluffier. The beds are not as soft as the ones in Hotel Disneyland. This time we only had one Butler stay with us, the one that is cheap like Scrooge McDuck, mjau... But at least we got one bed for only us cute siamese and did not have to share with a human, fräs! No need for a pillow wall this time!
Cute siamese kittens ready for bed.
The rooms are otherwise really nice. They have Cars Route 66 theme, but you can tell that this theme was added after the hotel was already built when the movies came out and not as the original idea.

Waiting for the bus to the parks. The exterior reminds us of a drive in theatre.

We stayed there while you still got the breakfast included in the price. It was not as nice as Disneyland Hotel or even Sequoia Lodge. You had to find your own seat and even get your coffee or hot chocolate yourself, mjau, from a machine! The breakfast was mainly croissants, small baguettes and similar pastries. Mjau no pancakes.. so sad... The cantina was also really noisy and busy compared to Sequoia Lodge and Disneyland Hotel's breakfast service. This is most likely due to the breakfast not being table service at Santa Fe.

Lovely Cars themed room.


The walk to Disney Village is maybe 15 minutes. You can also take a bus but it seems like such a waste of time. The bus only takes you to the train station, so you still have to go through the same security check as everyone entering the park from the station. Sometimes you will have to wait quite a bit for the bus so it's faster to just take the scenic route and walk to the park. There are several nice details along the walk. Mjau, there is even a crashed UFO! Mjau, and you can walk through Disney's Hotel Cheyenne on the way to the park.

Overall it was a nice experience staying at the Santa Fe Hotel. Although we will probably not stay there again as we prefer the other hotels more. The Disneyland Hotel is still our favourite and the most convenient one.

Destination Unknown Part 3

Si and Au in Zagreb! We were happy to finally arrive in Zagreb Croatia. Our butler had filled the Enter Croatia form so we entered the country without hassle. We took the bus from the airport and walked to our new home for the next few days. We stayed in our apartment in Zagreb for three nights. It was a really nice apartment with a small kitchenette. The only downside was that the apartment had a single bed. Mjau, we had to share the bed with our butler so it got a bit crowded. Apartments Lucky Place in Zagreb. It's wonderful to have our own kitchen! It was a breath of fresh air to be in Croatia. The restrictions regarding covid-19 are not as strict here. You still have to wear a facemask inside. Otherwise things are as usual.  Shopping in Zagreb! We mostly walked around town and did some Christmas shopping. We also visited the Museum of Broken Relationships. It is a very interesting and unique museum. People from all over the world donate items related to a broken relationship. A...

First Visit to Shanghai Disneyland

Mjau, our first family photo in front of the castle! Mjau, last December we finally visited Shanghai Disneyland. We wanted to spend Christmas at Hong Kong Disneyland, so it was the perfect opportunity to visit Shanghai Disneyland as well and take advantage of the 144-hour visa free transit rule. Mjau, on our way to Shanghai! Mjau, the elegant Shanghai Disneyland Hotel during the night! After the long flight from Finland to Shanghai we took the Taxi to our hotel, the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. We were really impressed by the hotel! The hotel had an elegant Art Deco theme. We will tell you more about the hotel in our Shanghai Disneyland Hotel Review! We really liked all the Fantasia details in the café and the lounge. Positively amazing!  Mjau, the view from the hotel is amazing! Across the lake you could see Disneyland, the castle is so big you can easily see it from the hotel. Tomorrowland also looks extra inviting from the hotel in the evenings, wit...

Destination Unknown: Part 1

Bu at Old Town Square in Prague. We had a wonderful start to 2020. We had just visited Shanghai Disneyland for the first time and we celebrated Christmas in Hong Kong Disneyland. We had a wonderful New Year in Taiwan. Our butler had gotten a steady job on the side of being our butler and we got an apartment in Lahti, Finland. However, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Covid-19 arrived.  After being stuck in our apartment for most of the year we had finally had enough. We made the decision to give up the apartment. We packed our biggest suitcase and booked a flight to Prague a few days prior to our departure. Si enjoying lunch at Espresso House. It was an interesting experience being at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. So quiet and empty! Thankfully Espresso House was still open and we got to enjoy a Pumpkin Latte and Chicken-Mozarella Focaccia while making plans for our trip. At Espresso House we booked our first hotel in Prague. Our lovely room 41 at Hotel U Pr...
