Quick Introduction to Disney Hotel Santa Fe
The Disney Hotel Santa Fe is the farthest hotel from the parks at Disneyland Paris among those within walking distance.
To reach the parks, you’ll cross the river and Disney Lake, pass near Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, and go through the dedicated hotel guest security checks before arriving at Disney Village, which is right next to the parks.
The hotel is inspired by the atmosphere of the American Southwest and Route 66, with colorful décor and a style reminiscent of New Mexico towns and Cars.

My Tips for Choosing the Best Option
In general, I recommend walking from Disney Hotel Santa Fe to the Disney Parks.
It’s almost always as fast as the shuttle (when you include waiting time) and a much more pleasant option.
The walk takes you along the river, through Disney Village and its entertainment, and you can even make a quick stop at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel to admire its unique decorations and artwork.
If you’re tired, for example after a long day or if you’re with children, the Disney hotel shuttle can be a good alternative.
I don’t recommend using the car, as the journey is often longer than the other options and it’s not the most eco-friendly method.
