CDG to Disneyland Paris Transfer Guide: Best Options for US, Canadian & UK Families (2026)

Planning a family vacation to Disneyland Paris from North America or the UK is an exciting milestone. However, arriving at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY) with exhausted children, strollers, and stacks of suitcases can turn the initial arrival into a test of patience. Here is everything you need to know to make your Disneyland Paris arrival smooth, magical, and stress-free.

The Real Distance: Where is Disneyland Paris?

Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée, approximately 35 km (22 miles) east of Paris city center and roughly 40 km (25 miles) south of Charles de Gaulle Airport. Depending on traffic, road transfers typically take between 35 and 50 minutes.

Transfer Options Compared: Which is Best for Families?

There are three main transportation modes from CDG to Disney Resort hotels:

1. Private Chauffeur Van (Mercedes V-Class)

• Travel Time: 35–45 minutes door-to-door.
• Convenience: Chauffeur meets your family inside the baggage claim hall, loads all strollers and suitcases, and drives directly to your hotel entrance.
• Child Safety: Age-appropriate baby seats and booster cushions installed free of charge upon advance request.
• Cost Value: Guaranteed flat rate of €99. For a family of 4 or 5, this is often less expensive than airport shuttle buses!

2. The Magical Shuttle Airport Bus

• Travel Time: 60 to 90 minutes.
• Convenience: Operates on fixed 45 to 60-minute schedules. If your flight is delayed or you miss the coach, you must wait nearly an hour at the terminal curb.
• Multi-Stop Route: The bus stops sequentially at 6 to 8 different Disney and partner hotels, meaning you may have to sit through multiple stops before reaching yours.
• Cost: €24 per adult and €11 per child under 12. A family of 2 adults and 2 children pays €70 one-way (or €96 for 4 adults).

3. The Commuter Train (RER B to RER A)

While public transit is inexpensive, we strongly advise families against taking the RER commuter train with heavy luggage. The route requires transferring at Châtelet-Les Halles—Europe’s largest and busiest underground labyrinth—navigating crowded stairways, escalators, and turnstiles with strollers while guarding against pickpockets.
