Paris Disneyland from Paris(CDG), how far is it from airport and is it better to go by bus or by rail? Cost?

Question

thank you all for the info. All very good. I have been to the other disneyland locations, FL, CA and Tokyo. I am traveling along and connecting thru CDG, so I have about 7 hours to kill. One person, no bags, no kids. So I was wanted to see it at least for a short period of time. Was looking for a fast way to get there and back. Call it the "express visit" and can say I actually saw it. I have heard it's not as good as FL, but you only get limite opportunities. Sounds like the shuttle bus or the TGV high speed may be the best. Thanks again to all answers.

Answer 1

Go to Florida instead.

At least they are pleasant and speak English.

Answer 2

Hello,

The most convenient way is by shuttle or Taxi. The shuttle is the more economical of the two. Shuttle service meets you at the airport with a sign, with your name on it, walks you to the shuttle, and takes you to the front door of your Disney hotel. It is entirely worth it when landing in Paris airport (confusing) jet lag and with kids

Prices range:

Charles de Gaulle Airport to Disneyland Shuttle Rates

1 Person 45 €

2-3 Person 25 € Per Person

From 4 Persons 20 € Per Person

Family 2+2 70 € (discount for family of 4 in other words)

You can take the train as well from the airport, but with luggage, and perhaps kids, it's not a good idea, especially if you're jet lag. You have to navigate around the confusing airport and depending on where you land, the train station can be quite a hike. Then there is the stress of being certain you get on the right train in the right direction...really not a good idea unless you are arriving from within Europe and your kids are big enough to manage their own luggage. In which case:

You can take the RER Metro (RER (Regional Express Network) train from Charles de Gaulle Airport, Line B (blue line) and change at Chatelet Les Halles for A line to Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy. Heads up: Changing trains is not fun.

The journey takes over an hour no matter what anybody else tells you and no matter what time of year you will be hot and sweaty and annoyed. The good news, once you reach the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station there is a complimentary shuttle bus to all the Resort hotels, yet still another transfer before you reach your final destination.

14 Euro per person takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes

Or for a little more, you can take the TGV (High-Speed Train), Thalys and Eurostar has direct trains to the station "Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy" from the airport and no changing trains like on the RER. Again there are complimentary shuttle buses to all the Resort hotels from there. The TGV schedule is quite regular and costs 19 Euro pp./ and takes about 35 minutes. You still have to carry your luggage all over, squeeze it through narrow ticket passages and navigate yourself to the right track.

Honestly if you're a young couple with no little ones, the TGV is my 2nd pick, and worth 5 Euro more to not have to change trains.

If you're a family traveling from overseas, take the shuttle, it's worth the few extra Euro for the pure sanity alone.

It's a 25 mile trip or 40 Klm.

Hope this helps, Wendy

Answer 3

CDG to Disneyland is about 40 km (25 miles).

The VEA Airport shuttle bus. links Roissy/Charles de Gaulle airport with 6 Disney Hotels every 15 minutes to 1 hour, 7 days a week. The fare is 16 € for adults and 13 € for children under 12.

Alternatively you can take the RER B commuter train marked "Direction : Saint-Remy-les-Chevreuse" to the Chatelet-Les Halles station and change to the RER A line marked "Direction : Marne-la-Vallee Chessy" and take it to the end of the line which is the Marne-la-Vallee station. The park entrance is a few minutes walk.

Answer 4

Disney land is about 40km from the center of Paris. There is  a local 'RER' rail service from Paris, which takes about 40 minutes. If you're planning a one-day visit, you may want to get a " Formule-1" Metro ticket, which is a day pass suitable for all RER and Metro lines.

Pick up the RER 'A' line from any station on the A4 route (make sure you get on an A4 line train, not A2). Suitable stations within the crntral Paris Metro area are:

La Defense (business district)

Charles de Gaulle-Etoile (Arc de Triomphe)

Auber (Opera) Chatelet-Les Halles (central Paris)

Gare de Lyon (major TGV train station)

Nation (major plaza)

Just get the the train fron CDG to any of these stations its very simple have fun.
