Traveller’s Recommendation

Amazing stay at Disney Hotel Cheyenne for my daughter’s 7th birthday. Staying at an on-site hotel was wonderful! Walking into the park and back each day…no having to pay for taxis or even queuing for shuttles! Hotel Cheyenne was a great Wild West theme – my daughter dressed as Jessie, met her in the reception then had a real horse ride!
