Landing at Charles de Gaulle Airport and heading to Disneyland Paris? The park is about 45 km from the airport. Here's a complete guide to help you choose the best transport option for your situation.
1. Public transport (RER)
The cheapest option, ideal if you're traveling light.
Option A: RER B + RER A
Take the RER B to Châtelet - Les Halles, then the RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy.
- Cost: €14 ("Origin-Destination" fare from CDG)
- Duration: 1h15 to 1h40 depending on connections
- Good to know: One change at Châtelet (busy but well-signposted station), limited space for luggage during rush hours
Option B: Bus 19E + RER A
From Roissypôle, take bus 19E to Torcy, then the RER A.
- Cost: €5
- Duration: around 1h20
- Good to know: Fewer services in the evening and on weekends
Who's it for? Travelers with minimal luggage, tight budgets, or those familiar with Paris transport. Works well for families too if you're not too heavily loaded.
2. TGV InOui (SNCF)
The TGV train directly connects CDG Airport TGV station to Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy.
- Duration: 10-15 minutes on board (count 20-30 minutes total with waiting time)
- Cost: €19 to €32 depending on booking time
- Frequency: 2 to 6 trains per day depending on season
- Important: No refunds if your flight is delayed, limited schedules
Who's it for? Those arriving exactly when a TGV departs and who booked tickets in advance. If the timings work, it's the fastest option.
3. Magical Shuttle
The shared shuttle serving all Disney hotels.
- Cost: €24 per adult, €11 per child (3-11 years), free for under 3s
- Frequency: Every 30-60 minutes, from 9am to 7:45pm
- Duration: 60 to 90 minutes (multiple hotel stops)
- Booking: Better to book online in advance
- Note: Not wheelchair accessible
Who's it for? Families of 2-3 people looking for a good price/simplicity balance. For 4+ people, a taxi or private transfer often works out cheaper overall.
4. Official taxi
Taxi ranks are located at the exit of each terminal (doors 24, 6, 14, etc.).
- Cost: €80 to €120 depending on traffic (15-20% extra on Sundays and holidays)
- Duration: 45 to 60 minutes
- Fare: Metered, possible supplement for large luggage
Warning: Don't follow drivers approaching you directly after customs. Only use taxis at official ranks. Unlicensed drivers charge double rates with no proper receipt.
Who's it for? Those wanting to leave immediately without booking, who accept variable pricing.
5. Pre-booked VTC (private transfer)
A professional driver booked in advance through a specialized company's website.
- Cost: €85 to €120 depending on vehicle type (sedan, family van...)
- Duration: 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic
- Fare: Fixed and all-inclusive (tolls, luggage, waiting time if your flight is delayed, traffic)
What really makes the difference:
- Your driver waits for you after customs with a sign with your name
- Real-time flight tracking: if delayed, the driver automatically adjusts arrival time
- Child seats provided free of charge, just request when booking
- Spacious vehicle designed for large luggage
- Professional driver who knows the route perfectly and speaks French
- You receive the driver's number by SMS as soon as you land
- No price surprises: what's quoted is what you pay, regardless of traffic
Who's it for? Families with children (especially young ones), groups of 4+ people, those with lots of luggage, or anyone wanting to arrive relaxed after a flight. Also the best option for late arrivals or very early mornings.
Good to know: Unlike taxis where you queue (sometimes 30-45 minutes during busy periods) and where the price varies on the meter, with a pre-booked VTC everything is clear from the start. You're personally welcomed, you know exactly what it costs, and you have zero stress to handle on arrival. For families or after a long international flight, this peace of mind is well worth the few extra euros.
What about car rental?
To consider:
- Paid parking: €25-35/day at Disney hotels
- Heavy traffic on the A104/A4 during rush hours
- Driving in an unfamiliar area right after a flight
- Often more expensive than other options for a short stay
Worth it if: You plan to visit other places in Île-de-France during your stay.

Practical info to know
- Where is Disneyland? The park is in Chessy (77), Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy station. All official Disney hotels (Disneyland Hotel, Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge, Santa Fe, Cheyenne, Davy Crockett Ranch) are on site or a short walk away.
- Late arrival? After 10:30pm, only taxis and VTCs operate. If arriving evening or night, book your transfer in advance: your driver will be there even at midnight, no need to search for an available taxi.
- Heavy traffic: Between 4pm and 7pm on weekdays, traffic on the A104/A4 can easily add 30 minutes to the journey. This is accounted for in the fixed price of a VTC, but makes the taxi meter climb.
- Taxi queues: Weekends, school holidays and public holidays mean waiting at taxi ranks can exceed 30-45 minutes. After a tiring flight with children, you avoid this stress by booking your transfer: the driver waits for you directly at exit.
- For children: Free on public transport (under 4s). In cars, child seats are mandatory for under 10s or under 135cm. With a pre-booked VTC, they're provided free if specified when booking.
- Accessibility: RER trains are wheelchair accessible but connections can be complicated. For more comfort, prefer a private transfer mentioning your specific needs when booking.
- Lots of luggage? Avoid public transport during rush hours. Taxis, VTCs and Magical Shuttle are much better suited.
How to choose?
- Minimum budget: RER or bus + RER (€5-14)
- Good compromise for 2-3 people: Magical Shuttle
- Most comfortable: Pre-booked VTC with personalized welcome (particularly recommended for families and after a long flight)
- Very early morning or late evening arrival: Pre-booked VTC (guaranteed welcome at any hour)
- Group of 4+ people: Pre-booked VTC (often more economical than a taxi and much more comfortable than public transport)
- Maximum flexibility: Taxi (but watch the queue) or pre-booked VTC (no waiting, guaranteed welcome)
