Taxi Hotel Santa Fe ↔ Paris airports

With its ochre pueblos and its Route 66 styling, the Santa Fe is the entry-level hotel on the resort — and the one furthest from the parks, a good twenty minutes on foot. Its guests watch what they spend, which makes the comparison with the airport shuttle particularly relevant here.

The arithmetic is simple. A shared shuttle charges per person and stops at several hotels on the way. From three travellers upwards a direct taxi from Roissy comes to the same order of money, arrives an hour earlier and sets you down outside reception rather than at the far end of a circuit. For four people with hold baggage it is usually cheaper outright.

Where we meet you

Pick-up is on the arrivals car park, in front of reception. The buildings are spread out and the internal roads are not open to us, so allow five minutes' walk from the room. We ring ten minutes before the agreed time as a matter of course, so that nobody stands about outside in February.

Being at the far end of the resort changes nothing about the fare: the twenty-minute walk to the park gates is only a few hundred metres in a straight line, and the distance to the airports is identical to the Disneyland Hotel's. What it does change is the time you should allow to get down to reception with cases and half-awake children.

Where your driver waits

Since the Santa Fe covers more ground than any other Disney hotel, reception is the only dependable meeting point. We ring ten minutes before the agreed time so that you are not left standing outside, and the driver helps load the cases from the lobby.
