I'm sure I'm very affected by all this Disney talk

We spent two nights at the Hotel Cheyenne this week and had a fantastic time. It was our first time at Cheyenne in 20 years (have only been there once before in 1998 for our first visit) and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lows:
None.
Highs:
Hotel - we are Hotel New York regulars and after our last visit agreed to wait for the refurb before returning. We were pleasantly surprised by the Cheyenne. The theming is really lovely and as Toy Story fans we adored it. Surprised at the short walk to the village and didn't use the shuttle buses at all. Food was good in the Chuckowagon buffet too. We missed a couple of things we're used to at HNY but overall was a really good place to stay.
Halloween decorations - so vibrant and beautiful around the park. Frontierland in particular was gorgeous and the Coco theming was amazing, love, love, loved it
Halloween parade - such a fun song and bright floats. The new Phantom Manor float is fantastic!
Salon Mickey - adore having a wee place to hang out for breakfast before hitting the parks
Meeting Parisian Minnie - total fluke but we managed to see her with only about a 5 minute wait
Hyperspace Mountain - Lewis did this for the first time and absolutely loved it
La Place de Remy - This has to be my favourite area in the parks. We sat at the bistro tables outside the ride and enjoyed a drink in the sun listening to the band play, bliss
The weather - It hit 26 one day and 22 the next. Honestly this felt more like a summer trip than a halloween visit. I remember scraping ice off Dumbo one year in October so this was a welcome change
We had the most amazing time, even after all these years we still love our visits and find something new/different to do each time. I loved having our eldest DS and his GF with us too, he's not been for 4 years, and he loved all the refurbs of BTM, Pirates, Star Tours and Hyperspace mountain. His GF is a WDW regular (Floridian resident) and adored the parks too. She said she'd go back in a heartbeat.
Off to plan the next one
