How to Get from CDG Airport to Disneyland Paris

By Go Paris Transfer · Reading time: 7 min · Last updated September 2026

Charles de Gaulle Airport is the most convenient major Paris airport for reaching Disneyland Paris, but the best way to travel depends on your arrival terminal, group size, luggage and flight time.

This guide compares the main options from CDG to Disneyland Paris and explains the practical differences between a very fast train journey and a complete door-to-door journey.

1. How far is Disneyland Paris from CDG Airport?

Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée, east of Paris. Driving time from Charles de Gaulle Airport is usually around 35 to 60 minutes, depending on your terminal, traffic and the exact hotel.

The Disney Parks are next to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station. Disneyland Paris states that the direct high-speed train from CDG can reach this station in less than 12 minutes. That is the train time only: you must also allow time to reach the CDG railway station, wait for the scheduled departure and continue to your hotel if it is not beside the station.

3. Direct TGV from CDG to Disneyland Paris

The direct TGV runs from Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, beside the Disney Parks. Disneyland Paris reports a train journey of less than 12 minutes.

Advantages

• Very short time on the train.
• No train change between CDG Terminal 2 and Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy.
• The arrival station is beside the entrances to the Disney Parks.

Points to consider

• The station is at Terminal 2. Passengers arriving at another terminal need additional transfer time.
• Trains operate at scheduled times rather than continuously.
• Tickets are sold per passenger and prices can vary.
• A delayed flight, passport control or baggage delivery can make a tightly timed train difficult to catch.
• You may still need a hotel shuttle, taxi or walk after arriving at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy.

The TGV is particularly attractive for passengers arriving at Terminal 2 with light luggage and a suitable departure. Always check live schedules and ticket conditions for your travel date.

4. RER B and RER A from CDG

The regional train journey normally involves:

1. Taking the RER B from Charles de Gaulle Airport towards central Paris.
2. Changing at Châtelet–Les Halles.
3. Taking the RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy.

This is normally one train change, not two. The route goes into central Paris before heading east towards Disneyland, so it is much longer than the direct TGV or a road transfer.

The RER may suit solo travellers or couples who are comfortable using the Paris transport network. It can be less convenient with pushchairs, several suitcases, young children or passengers requiring step-free access throughout the journey.

5. Magical Shuttle from CDG

Magical Shuttle operates scheduled coach services between Charles de Gaulle Airport, Disneyland Paris, Disney Hotels and selected partner hotels.

Advantages

• Designed for Disneyland Paris passengers.
• Serves a selection of Disney and partner hotels.
• No need to navigate the RER network.

Points to consider

• The service follows fixed timetables.
• The journey may include several hotel stops.
• Tickets are generally priced per passenger.
• Late arrivals may have fewer suitable departures.

6. Taxi and rideshare from CDG

Official airport taxis are available from designated taxi ranks at Charles de Gaulle Airport. Disneyland Paris is outside the fixed-fare Paris taxi zones, so the final fare for this journey is generally metered and can vary with traffic and applicable charges.

Use only the official taxi rank and follow the airport signs. Avoid accepting transport from people approaching passengers inside the terminal.

Rideshare services can also operate from CDG, but pickup areas may be away from the arrivals exit. Prices and availability can change according to demand, vehicle size and time of day.

7. Private transfer from CDG to Disneyland Paris

A pre-booked private transfer is organised around your flight rather than a train or coach timetable. Your driver monitors the flight, meets you in the arrivals area and takes you directly to your Disney or partner hotel.

The confirmed booking price is fixed. Any applicable supplement—for example, a qualifying last-minute booking, night journey or additional child seat—is shown as part of the booking total rather than added unexpectedly after the journey.

Included with the transfer

• Real-time flight tracking.
• Meet and greet in the arrivals area.
• Direct drop-off at your hotel.
• Up to 60 minutes of airport waiting time after landing.
• The first two requested child seats or boosters included.
• Payment by cash or card after the transfer for standard direct bookings.

For five or more large items of luggage, or when passenger and luggage space is limited, the Business Van is the safer choice. Always enter the correct number and size of bags when booking.

8. Which option is best for families?

• Choose the TGV if its timetable matches your arrival, you can reach the Terminal 2 station easily and you are comfortable managing your luggage after the train.
• Choose the RER if public transport is your priority and your family is comfortable making the change in central Paris.
• Choose Magical Shuttle if a scheduled departure and hotel stop match your itinerary.
• Choose a taxi or rideshare if you want to arrange a car after landing and accept a variable fare or availability.
• Choose a private transfer if you want a confirmed vehicle, requested child seats, flight tracking and direct hotel drop-off.

For families carrying a pushchair, several suitcases or child equipment, the simplest option is often the one that removes station changes and additional hotel transport.

9. Practical tips for a smooth arrival

• Use your flight number when booking. This allows the driver to monitor delays and terminal changes.
• Allow time for passport control and baggage collection. Processing times vary by flight and arrival period.
• Do not book a tightly timed train after landing. Leave enough time to reach the railway station and account for possible delays.
• Provide the exact hotel name. Disney Hotels, partner hotels and accommodation around Val d’Europe can have similar names.
• Give accurate passenger and luggage numbers. Four passengers with several large suitcases may need a van even though a sedan has four passenger seats.
• Plan the return journey in advance. Allow time for traffic, check-in, security and the airline’s recommended airport arrival time.
• Keep your phone available after landing. Your chauffeur may contact you by WhatsApp or telephone to confirm the meeting point.
