Paris to Disneyland Train: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Paris to Disneyland train is the RER A, and the ride from Châtelet takes about 40 minutes to a stop that is a 2-minute walk from the park entrance. You need one metro-train-RER ticket each way, plus a park ticket. The steps below cover the RER, the TGV from the airport, the ticket and the ride home.
Step 1: Take the Paris to Disneyland train, the RER A
The Paris to Disneyland train is the RER A, and the ride from Châtelet station takes about 40 minutes. The official Disneyland Paris travel page names Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy as the closest stop. The station is a 2-minute walk from Disneyland Park, Disney Adventure World and Disney Village. Disney quotes the time from Châtelet only, so expect a different time from other starting stations.
Get off at Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy. Do not get off at Val d'Europe. That stop serves the outlet village and the shopping centre, not the parks. A free shuttle bus runs from the station to most Disney Hotels and partner hotels, but not to Davy Crockett Ranch. For tickets and the other ways to reach the park, see our Disneyland Paris page.
Coming from Charles de Gaulle airport? Take the TGV instead of the RER A. Disney says it takes less than 12 minutes to the same station. It needs its own SNCF rail ticket. The SNCF site was not open to us, so the fare is not given here. Step 3 has the rest.
| Step | What to do | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Take the RER A | Ride from Châtelet to Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy | About 40 minutes, and not the Val d'Europe stop |
| 2. Pay for the ride | One €2.55 ticket each way, or a day pass | The ticket is valid across the Île-de-France region |
| 3. From the airport | Take the TGV from Charles de Gaulle | Under 12 minutes, but a separate ticket |
| 4. Choose a bundle | Book a coach, train or private ride with tickets | A bundle costs more than the RER |
| 5. Buy a park ticket | Book a 1-day ticket for one or two parks | Needed even if you ride the RER A |
| 6. Plan the way home | Check the last train before you enter | Disney's page lists no last train |
Key Takeaway Ride the RER A to Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy for a 40-minute trip on one €2.55 ticket each way, and use the TGV only from Charles de Gaulle airport.
Step 2: Pay with one €2.55 ticket or a day pass
You need one Métro-Train-RER ticket for each ride, and it costs €2.55 at the full fare. According to Île-de-France Mobilités, the region's transport authority, the ticket is valid on RER lines across the Île-de-France region. Disneyland Paris sits inside that region, so the ticket covers the whole RER A ride. You load it on your phone in the Île-de-France Mobilités app or on a Navigo Easy card.
The ticket has limits. TGVs, trams and the airport stations at Orly and Charles de Gaulle are outside it. Changes between metro and RER are allowed for two hours after you first tap in.
A day pass is the other choice. The Navigo 1-Day Pass costs €12.30, covers zones 1 to 5 and runs from the first ride until the end of night service. The Disney shuttles are not included. A round trip costs €5.10 in single tickets, so the pass only pays off if you ride a lot more in Paris the same day. The Disneyland Paris help page also names the Paris Visite 5-zone pass, which is valid for one, two or three days.
For the other fares in the city, read our guide to getting around Paris.
Step 3: Take the TGV from Charles de Gaulle airport
From Charles de Gaulle airport, the TGV is the fastest way to Disneyland Paris. Disney says the high-speed train reaches Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station in less than 12 minutes. It is the same station the RER A uses, so you walk about two minutes to the parks.
The TGV needs its own ticket. The €2.55 ticket does not cover high-speed lines or the TGV stations at Charles de Gaulle, so buy a rail ticket from SNCF before you go. The fare and the timetable are not on the pages used for this guide, so check them on SNCF Connect for your day.
Disney lists other ways from the airports too. The Magical Shuttle is a coach run by a third party that links Orly and Charles de Gaulle with the Disney Hotels and the parks. Taxis and rental cars also work. The pages used here do not give a train from Orly.
Step 4: Book a bundle when you want one ticket for the ride and the park
A bundle is worth the extra money when you want one booking, a set meeting point and no timetable to read. Best Things to Do in Paris' count of GetYourGuide listings on 24 October 2026 found that 13 of the 19 Paris listings with Disneyland in the title include a transfer, shuttle, train or other transport.
Four of them fit this trip. Train tickets for the ride between central Paris and the parks come with the Disneyland Paris train and park tickets, plus a 1- or 2-park day ticket, from €129 per person. Magic Ways runs it from 18 Rue Royale, 75008 Paris, and the listing says ticket delivery is not included. A round-trip shuttle and a multilingual host come with the Disneyland Paris tickets with shuttle, from €136 per person. The meeting point depends on the option you pick, and food and drinks are not allowed in the vehicle.
The coach ticket with transfer is from €175 per person and takes about 11 hours, with about 10 of them in the park. It leaves from the Pullman Paris Centre Bercy, 1 Rue de Libourne, 75012 Paris, and is not suitable for children under 3. Disney also lists its own paid Disneyland Paris Express coach, a same-day return from five places in central Paris, run by a third party.
A tired family or a small child may prefer the private transfer from central Paris, from €39.28 per person. The listing says pickup is included, the ride takes about an hour and the car is booked for your group alone. Hotel pickup outside central Paris is not included. The transfer is rated 4.1 from 52 reviews, which is a small sample.
Is a bundle worth it, or should you go on your own? Going on your own is cheaper. Two RER tickets cost €5.10, and the park ticket is from €52 per person. The cheapest bundle is from €129 per person. The bundle buys you one booking, a set meeting point and a host. A family that does not mind reading a timetable saves money on the RER A. A family with a small child may find the private transfer worth it, because the car is yours alone.
Can you trust the bundles? Ratings on GetYourGuide are 4.2 from 265 reviews for the train bundle, 4.2 from 2,179 for the shuttle and 4.3 from 795 for the coach. The private transfer has the fewest reviews, 52. Only the private transfer lists free cancellation. Check the cancel rules on each listing before you pay.
Before you book, check four things. The train bundle and shuttle listings do not state how long the day is. No listing gives a group size limit, except that the private car is for your group alone. The private transfer does not include the park ticket. The coach is not suitable for children under 3.
| Way to go | Time | Ticket | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| RER A | About 40 minutes from Châtelet | €2.55 each way | Park ticket extra |
| TGV from Charles de Gaulle | Under 12 minutes | Separate rail ticket | Fare not listed here |
| Train or coach bundle | Set by the listing | Park ticket included | From €129 per person |
| Private transfer | About 1 hour | Park ticket extra | From €39.28 per person |
A theme park day goes better when the trip there costs you no energy.
Step 5: Buy your park ticket before you leave
If you ride the RER A on your own, you buy the park ticket separately. The Disneyland Paris 1-day ticket for one or two parks is from €52 per person and rated 4.6 from 60,219 reviews on GetYourGuide. Parks are Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World, and one day can cover both or just one depending on the option you pick.
Compare the ticket with the bundles before you decide. With the RER you pay €5.10 for two single tickets plus the park ticket. With a bundle you pay one price for both, and you gain a host and a fixed pickup point.
Prices and ratings are as shown on GetYourGuide on 24 October 2026.
Step 6: Check the last train home before you go in
Check the last RER A train from Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy before you enter the park. The pages used for this guide give no last-train time and no frequency for the RER A, so look up your own day in the Bonjour RATP app or on the RATP site.
The Navigo 1-Day Pass runs until the end of night service, which helps if you stay late. A single ticket allows changes for two hours after your first tap, and the ride home needs its own ticket.
Pro Tip Save the last-train time in your phone's notes on the way in, and set an alarm for one hour before it so you are at the gate in time.
One honest limit applies. This guide covers rides from central Paris and from Charles de Gaulle airport. Is there a direct train from London to Disneyland Paris? The Eurostar and Disneyland Paris pages we tried would not open, so we cannot confirm a direct train, its days or its price. Check eurostar.com for your date. The pages used here also give no price for the TGV. If you start from Orly, ask the airport or your hotel about the best route.

Most families can reach Disneyland Paris on the RER A in about 40 minutes with one €2.55 ticket each way. From Charles de Gaulle airport the TGV takes under 12 minutes to the same station. Pick a bundle only when you want a set meeting point and a host more than you want the lowest price, and check the last train home before you go in.
