  1. Airport shuttle buses run at 45 minute intervals starting at 8.30am and continuing until around 7.45pm seven days a week. This is really the easiest way to get there.

    However, if you want to take the train then take the RER B (direction Massy-Palaiseau) to Chatelet-Les Halles.

    Change to RER line A (direction:Marne-la-Vallee Chessy) to Marne-la-Vallee Chessy.

    It is a five minute walk to the front gate.


  2. Take the shuttle bus, not the RER.  As noted above, you will be taking the RER all the way into the city center, then changing to another RER back out to the same suburb.  Looking at a map, Marne La Vallee and Roissy (CDG airport) are in the same vicinity west northwest of Paris.  Take the shuttle bus or a taxi.

  3. Don't take the RER (the train), its very confusing for those who don't know... And its very expensive, from Roissy to Disney World you'll have to go to Paris and from Paris go to Marne la Vallée and that would be at least 10€ a person since from Charles de Gaulle to Paris its like 7,50...

    The best way is to take the shuttle, it's not much more expensive and it's way more convenient...

  4. Don't take the RER, you'll spend a lot of time, many connections , no it is not a good way .

    There is a special shuttle from CDG airport to Disneyland Paris Resort and it is direct !!!

    Go on this website (in English !)

    It is really the best way to go to Disneyland.

  5. The RER system is very confusing and is a great introduction to the pitfalls of travelling in Paris.  The first thing to know is that trains on the same track have defferent destinations, so you have to check the sign above the tracks to know which train to get on.

    The RER station is walking distance from most terminals, but it is a long walk.  Carrying alot of luggage on your paris trip and expecting to use the public transport as opposed to the much more expensive taxis is hard enough without carrying six large suitcases.  My family travelled to Paris with each person carrying two carryons which attached to each other and were easily carried as either a backpack or on wheels.  Travel light is the best advice you will get before your trip.  If you lose your luggage because you missed your connection out of Heathrow then don't say I didn't warn you.

    Anyway when you arrive at Charles De gaulle airport take an outside shuttle to the RER station or walk along the terminal until you reach the RER station.  There you will see a bunch of tv terminals to buy your tickets.  Forget asking any Parisians for help in using these ticket machines, as they are all in a hurry and they will say watch me and then grab their ticket and leave.  No the machines do not have an english translation.  Furthermore, they do not offer child discount tickets (half price).  Past the machines is a ticket counter which is behind sliding glass doors.  Even if the line is long, go there instead of the machines if you don't read french or you need discount tickets.

    When you get to the counter, the first thing to say is Bonjour! or Bonsoir! (good evening).  The next thing to ask is if the person speaks English.  Now you have to learn to ask this in French, otherwise he will pretend like you are not there.  "Parlez vous Anglais?"  He will say no but it doesn't matter, he speaks perfect English.  He will help you as soon as he realizes you are politely attempting to speak French.  Try saying Disneyland Paris with a French accent and hold up with your fingers how many tickes you would like.  Then he will speak perfect English and offer you instructions on how to get there and what else you will need to reach your destination.

    Anyway,  The previous answer was correct in that you take the B train to Chatelet and then transfer to the A train.  Disney is the last stop on the A4 train going East. The RER uses large doubledecker trains which are comfortable, but can get crowded, especially if you have alot of luggage.  Be aware that the train windows are small and so are the station signs.  Chatelet is the busiest station in Paris as multiple RER and Metro stations all connect there.  It is always crowded so mind your luggage and your kids and beware of pickpockets.
