How to Get from Paris to Disneyland: all options

To travel from Paris to Disneyland you will find several transportation options, some more convenient than others depending on your particular situation: Disney tours, private transfer, public transportation, cab and you can even buy your ticket to Disneyland with express bus service. We explore it all here!

Disneyland is located at a distance of approximately 40 kilometers from the center of Paris. And precisely because of the proximity, it is one of the favorite excursions for Parisians and locals alike.

The easiest way to go on this adventure is to book a private transfer from Paris to Disneyland. This way, you will avoid all the hassles associated with planning and logistics.

It is a very convenient option that includes pick-up service from the hotel or airport. In addition, the vehicle will be fully equipped and you will have a professional driver at your disposal. However, it does not include tickets to Disneyland Paris.

• Price: from 50 €.
• Recommended if... if you don't want to worry about logistics.

Another option is to buy your ticket to Disneyland with express bus service. It is highly recommended for those who travel to Paris with children because they can meet other fellow adventurers. Among the facilities included is that you will have your ticket to the amusement park with direct access and without queues.

In general, the buses are comfortable, spacious and well equipped. They are excursions that leave every day from the capital to Disneyland and it is very easy to find several alternative companies. They usually offer several meeting points in Paris.

• Price: you can find this excursion from 114 € with entrance to Disneyland included.
• Recommended if... You are enjoying a fun vacation in Paris, you are looking for a one or two day trip to Disneyland and you don't want to organize many details but just sit back and enjoy the adventure.

My second favorite option among the transportation alternatives to go to Disneyland Paris is to take the RER A urban train. Paris urban transportation is one of the best in the world so you can be sure of a punctual and smooth ride.

For accurate timetable information you can visit the official website. The last train back to Paris from Disneyland leaves around midnight, so if you go in summer, when Disneyland is open extended until 1 am, you may miss your ride.

City trains run throughout the day at approximately 15-minute intervals. From the center of Paris you can take the RER A at five different stations:

• Charles de Gaulle Etoile: located at the Arc de Triomphe.
• Auber: located near the Galeries Lafayette.
• Chatelet Les Halles: in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.
• Gare de Lyon: ranked as the largest train station in Paris and located in the 12th arrondissement.
• Nation metro station: located opposite Place Nation, in the 11th arrondissement,

The return trip to Paris is usually a lot of fun. Being a widely used and inexpensive method of transportation it is full of tourists and locals displaying colorful Mickey Mouse ears and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

• Price: a one-way ticket from the center of Paris to Disneyland costs at least 7,60 €.
• Duration: the RER A train travels at high speed, however, the journey including stops usually takes between 40 and 45 minutes.
• Recommended if... you are looking for the most economical option. Also if you are traveling to Disneyland for several days, 4 or 5, and you are looking for an alternative that allows you to save on your budget.

To get to Disneyland by car from Paris you will have to take the A4 highway and then exit 14, Disney Parks and Bailly-Romainvilliers. Although it requires more organization, renting a car or using your own vehicle to go to Disneyland is a possible alternative that hundreds of people use frequently.

If you go to Paris with your own vehicle you have already won half the game, but if you are interested in renting some kind of transportation, the Parisian capital offers hundreds of alternatives, most of which you will be able to quote and book completely online. Below, I'll share with you a few alternatives:

• AVIS.
• EuropCar.
• SIXT.

The biggest drawback is the additional expenses you will have to consider in your budget, such as fuel costs and the parking fee at Disneyland, which is around €25 for motorcycles, €30 for small cars and €45 for caravans. However, if you have the Magic Pass, it is free. I do not recommend it if you go to the park several days in a row, as it will not be economical.

• Price: from 10 € per day, however, this price will increase depending on the type of vehicle you choose and the rental company. Also consider the park and fuel costs.
• Duration of the trip: it is the fastest option you can find. From the center of Paris by car it will only take you about 30 minutes to get to the resort.
• Recommended if... You want total flexibility to arrive and leave at the time you prefer. It is also an alternative if you want to stay at Disney Village after the parks close.

If you want to travel to Disneyland in a comfortable and safe transport, but you do not want to drive and plan a route, nor do you want to share transport with other people, a cab is an option. In the French capital it is very easy to find cab companies that offer first class service, with very friendly staff and drivers able to communicate with you efficiently in English.

Here is an indicative list of Parisian cab companies:

• ÜBER.
• Cab G7.
• Alpha Taxis.
• Taxis-Paris.

The main advantage of this option is that you can request a direct pick-up at your hotel and schedule a second return trip when you return. The companies have a virtual platform which allows you to request the service comfortably. However, from my perspective, the biggest drawback is the budget. Additionally, don't forget that companies like UBER work perfectly.

• Price: although it will depend a lot on the company you hire, you will pay an average of 100 € per trip.
• Duration of the trip: as it is a car trip that does not include stops, you can make the trip in just 30 minutes.
• Recommended if... you cannot or do not want to drive in the city of Paris or do not want to share transport with other people.
