You’re landing at Paris Orly Airport and heading straight to Disneyland Paris? The park is just 40 km away, making Orly the closest major airport to Disney. But the best way to travel depends on your budget, your schedule, and whether you want to carry luggage through train stations. Here’s a clear, up-to-date comparison to help you choose the right option in 2026.
1. Public Transport (Orlyval + RER)
The cheapest option - but also the most tiring if you have bags or children.
- Route:
• Take Orlyval to Antony station
• Switch to RER B toward Charles de Gaulle / Massy-Palaiseau
• Get off at Châtelet – Les Halles, then take RER A to Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy
• Price: €13.70 (standard “Origine-Destination” fare from Orly)
• Travel time: 1h20 to 1h50
• Note: Two transfers, limited luggage space, crowded trains during peak hours
Best for: Solo travelers or couples with light luggage and time to spare.
2. Magical Shuttle
Shared shuttle service between Orly Airport and Disney hotels.
- Price: €24 (adult), €11 (child ages 2–12)
• Departures: Every 30–60 minutes, from 9:00 AM to 7:10 PM
• Travel time: 60 to 90 minutes (depending on traffic and hotel stops)
• Pickup points at Orly:
– Terminals 1 & 2: Door 18, Quay D6
– Terminal 3: Door 22a, Quay D6
– Terminal 4: Door 48a, Quay 3
• Note: Not wheelchair accessible; limited to 1 suitcase + 1 small bag per person
Best for: Small groups of 1–3 people looking for a budget-friendly shared ride. For larger groups, a private transfer is often more economical.
3. Official Taxi
Taxis are available at official ranks outside each terminal:
- Terminals 1 & 2: Door 14a
• Terminal 3: Door 32a
• Terminal 4: Door 48a
• Price: €90 to €120 (15–20% surcharge on Sundays and holidays)
• Travel time: 40 to 60 minutes
• Note: Metered fare; extra fees may apply for large luggage
Avoid unlicensed drivers offering rides inside the terminal - they often charge double the official rate with no receipt.
Best for: Travelers who need an immediate ride and accept variable pricing.
4. Private Transfer
A professional driver meets you at arrivals with a sign showing your name.
- Price: €90 to €120 (fixed, for up to 8 passengers)
• Travel time: 40 to 60 minutes via A86 → A4 (the fastest route)
• Includes: all tolls, traffic delays, unlimited luggage, and free child seats on request
• You’ll receive your driver’s phone number by SMS as soon as your flight lands
Best for: Families or groups wanting a stress-free start to their Disney trip - especially after a long flight.
5. Rental Car
- Disneyland parking: €30/day
• Route: A86 → A4
• Downsides: Heavy traffic during rush hours (7–10 AM, 5–8 PM), driving stress after flying
• Not recommended for a simple one-way trip to the park
