Paris is served by three international airports: Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Paris Orly (ORY), and Beauvais Tillé (BVA). Each serves millions of passengers every year, and each presents its own challenges when it comes to getting from the plane to your final destination.
For families, groups, and anyone arriving with significant luggage, a private minivan transfer consistently outperforms every public transport alternative on the routes from Paris airports to Disneyland Paris, city hotels, and major attractions.
Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
CDG is France's largest airport and one of the busiest in Europe. It has three terminal buildings: Terminal 1, Terminal 2 (split into 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F and 2G), and Terminal 3. The complexity of the terminal layout is one reason many passengers choose private transfer over public transport — knowing exactly where your driver will be waiting removes a significant source of stress after a long flight.
The RER B train runs from CDG to central Paris in approximately 35 minutes and connects onward to Disneyland Paris via Marne-la-Vallée Chessy station. However, the RER involves navigating terminal bus connections, purchasing tickets, managing luggage on crowded trains, and navigating platform changes. For a solo traveller with a carry-on bag, this is manageable. For a family of four with pushchair, cases, and tired children, it is a genuinely difficult experience.
A private minivan transfer from CDG to Disneyland Paris takes approximately 45 minutes on normal traffic conditions and costs a fixed, agreed price with no supplements for luggage, flight delays, or additional passengers up to eight. CDG Paris Cab meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and escorts you directly to the vehicle.
Paris Orly Airport (ORY)
Orly is Paris's second airport, located south of the city. It serves both domestic and international routes and is a popular entry point for travellers from Southern Europe, North Africa, and the French overseas territories. Orly has four terminals — South, West, Hall 1, and Hall 4 — and is considerably more compact than CDG.
The Orly to Disneyland Paris route by private transfer takes approximately 40 minutes, making it one of the most efficient airport-to-resort journeys in the Paris region. The RER alternative from Orly requires a connection via Antony or Châtelet-Les Halles, adding significant time and complexity. Many passengers find the Orlivale light rail or Orlybus adequate for city-centre travel, but neither is practical for Disneyland-bound families with luggage.
CDG Paris Cab covers all Orly terminals with the same meet & greet service available at CDG. Book via cdgpariscab.com or cdgdisneytransfer.com.
Beauvais Tillé Airport (BVA)
Beauvais serves the low-cost carriers, principally Ryanair and Wizz Air, and sits approximately 85 kilometres north of Paris. This distance makes it the most challenging of the three airports for onward connections. The standard public shuttle bus to Porte Maillot takes around 75 minutes and drops passengers in central Paris, requiring a separate onward transfer to reach Disneyland.
A direct private minivan from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris takes approximately 90 minutes and eliminates all intermediate connections. For a group of four to eight passengers, the per-person cost of a private minivan from Beauvais frequently undercuts the combined cost of shuttle bus tickets plus RER fares plus taxi from the Disneyland station — particularly when luggage, child tickets, and time saved are factored in.
Cheapest Way to Get to Disneyland Paris
This is the most-searched question on the CDG-to-Disney route, and the honest answer depends on your group size. For a single traveller, the RER B from CDG to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy is genuinely the most economical option at around €12–€17 per person depending on the rail pass used.
However, for groups of three or more, the arithmetic shifts significantly. A private minivan accommodating up to eight passengers at a single fixed price divided across the group often works out cheaper per person than multiple RER tickets, and substantially more convenient. When you account for the actual cost of a family of four — four adult or child RER tickets plus any luggage supplement — the price difference narrows to a point where the private transfer becomes the obvious choice.
CDG Paris Cab does not display prices on its website (prices are confirmed on booking and depend on route, passenger count, and timing), but the service has consistently been rated excellent value for money in passenger reviews across TripAdvisor, Google, and Facebook.
Disneyland Paris Hotels: All Nine Properties
Disneyland Paris operates nine on-site hotels across the resort, ranging from the flagship Disneyland Hotel at the park entrance to the more budget-friendly Santa Fe and Cheyenne properties at the far end of the resort. CDG Paris Cab delivers to all nine hotels, as well as to the Disney Village area and the RER station drop-off zone.
If your hotel is the Santa Fe or Cheyenne, note that these are approximately a 15-minute walk from the park gates — useful context if you are arriving late and have young children who need to reach their room quickly. Your driver will confirm the most direct drop-off point for your specific hotel at the time of booking.
