How to get from Paris airport to Disneyland Paris: all options compared
Planning a trip to Disneyland Paris is exciting but figuring out how to get there from the airport can feel overwhelming. With several transport options available, it helps to know what works best for your group, budget, and comfort level. Here's a straightforward breakdown of all your options so you can travel smart from day one.
The Main Paris Airports Serving Disneyland Paris
Most international travelers arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), though some fly into Orly Airport or Beauvais Airport. Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée, about 32 km from central Paris. From CDG, it's roughly 35–40 minutes by car, making it one of the closest major airports to the park.
Option 1: Public Train (RER A)
The RER A train is the most talked-about option for budget travelers. From CDG, you first take the free CDG shuttle to the RER B line, then transfer to the RER A at Châtelet-Les-Halles to reach Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station, which is right at the Disneyland entrance.
The downside? It involves multiple transfers, busy platforms, and dragging your luggage through crowded stations. If you're traveling with young children, strollers, or heavy bags, this can quickly turn exhausting before the fun even begins.
Option 2: Magical Shuttle (Coach Transfer)
The Magical Shuttle is a shared coach service that runs between CDG, Orly, and Disneyland Paris. It's affordable, but you share the ride with other passengers, which means stops and waiting. Departure times are fixed, so if your flight is delayed or you miss a slot, you'll be waiting for the next one. Not ideal when tired kids are involved.
Option 3: Taxi
Standard Paris taxis are widely available at all airports. They're comfortable for small groups but can get expensive, especially with luggage surcharges and peak-hour pricing. Costs can vary significantly depending on traffic, and there's no guarantee of a child seat or a vehicle large enough for a family.
Option 4: Ride-Sharing Apps (Uber/Bolt)
Apps like Uber and Bolt operate in Paris and can be a decent option for solo travelers or couples. However, pricing surges during busy hours, and availability can be unpredictable. For families with car seat needs or groups of 5+, finding the right vehicle type adds another layer of stress.
