How to get from Paris to Disneyland Paris: RER A, TGV, shuttles, taxi or private chauffeur compared — the best way to travel, depending on your situation
The right option depends on how many of you there are, your luggage, the children's ages and, above all, what time you come back.
The essentials in 30 seconds
Disneyland Paris is at Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy, east of Paris, with an RER and TGV station at the park gates. The RER A is the cheapest option from central Paris for light travellers; the TGV serves the station from the regions and from CDG; airport shuttles need checking; taxis are flexible but uncertain at closing time. A pre-booked private chauffeur is simplest for young families, groups, luggage and late returns; by car allow 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on departure point and traffic.
Where you're heading
Where Disneyland Paris is
and how to get there
Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy: the station at the park gates
Disneyland Paris lies east of the capital in Seine-et-Marne. Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station, served by the RER A and the TGV, sits a short walk from the parks and Disney Village.
From Paris, from Roissy-CDG, from Orly: three different situations
Your starting point changes everything: options and constraints differ between central Paris, CDG and Orly.
01
From Paris
The RER A runs direct from central stations. By car, allow 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on departure point and traffic.
02
From Roissy-CDG
The TGV links CDG 2 TGV station to the parks, and coaches run at certain periods.
03
From Orly
South of Paris, Orly is the least direct starting point, with no simple rail link to the parks.
Option 01
The RER A the budget reflex
From central Paris, the RER A is simple, direct and economical. Its limits show with pushchairs, luggage and the return trip.
Strengths
Direct from stations such as Châtelet – Les Halles or Gare de Lyon, with frequent trains. Check fares and times on the RATP website.
Limitations
Crowded at peak times, several branches to check, stairs at connections, and packed trains after the evening show.
Option 02
The TGV to Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy for travellers from the regions or CDG
Step off the train and the parks are right there.
TGVs serve the parks station from many French cities and from CDG 2 TGV. Fixed times and luggage to carry are the trade-offs; check the SNCF website.
Option 03
Shuttles and coaches from the airports
what to check before relying on them
Services, timetables and stops change from season to season. Check that they run on your dates and at your landing time on the official Disneyland Paris or operator website.
Check before you go
- 01Does it run at your landing time?
- 02What happens if your flight is late?
- 03How much luggage is allowed?
Option 04
On-demand taxi and ride-hailing flexible, with uncertainty on the way back
Door to door, 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on departure point and traffic. Child seats are not guaranteed, and finding a car at park closing can take a while.
Option 05
A pre-booked private chauffeur
when it becomes the simplest option
Not the answer to everything, but in four situations it removes connections, luggage handling and return uncertainty. The amount is given at booking, on a personalised quote.
02
Groups and large families: sedan, Mercedes V-Class van or coach
Sedan up to three, van up to nine passengers, 53-seat coach for schools and company groups.

03
Airport arrival with luggage, straight to your park hotel
Your chauffeur meets you in arrivals at CDG or Orly; the flight is tracked.
The Roissy-CDG transfer
04
Day trip with a chauffeur at your disposal
The same chauffeur for both ways, so you can stay for the evening show.
Full-day chauffeur hire
A Disneyland day is often won on the way home: when the children are asleep, nobody wants to hunt for a platform.
