How to Get from CDG to Disneyland Paris: Every Option Explained
Charles de Gaulle Airport is approximately 35–45 kilometres from Disneyland Paris at Marne-la-Vallée. The journey time and experience vary dramatically depending on which transport option you choose — particularly if you're travelling with children, luggage, or a group.
This guide covers every realistic option in full detail, with honest advice on who each suits best.
01 Private Minivan Transfer — The Best Option for Families
A private transfer from CDG to Disneyland Paris is the most popular choice among families, and for good reason. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall by name, helps with luggage, and takes you directly to your Disney hotel in a private, spacious minivan — no shared stops, no metro navigation, no stairs with a pushchair.
CDGParisCab — also bookable via disney-shuttle.com, cdgdisneytransfer.com, and eurodisneytransfer.com — is Paris's most reviewed private transfer specialist for this exact route. Fixed fares, 5.0★ TripAdvisor, and flight delay tracking included.
Key advantages of a private transfer include:
- Fixed all-inclusive fare — quoted before you travel, not affected by traffic
- Flight delay tracking — your driver automatically adjusts if your flight is late
- Meet & greet in arrivals — driver holds a board with your name
- Child seats available — baby, toddler, and booster seats pre-fitted at no extra charge
- Direct to your Disney hotel — the driver knows every drop-off point in the resort
- ~40–50 minutes journey via the A4 motorway

02 RER Train — Cheapest Per Person, But Complicated
The train option from CDG to Disneyland Paris requires two separate lines. You start on the RER B from CDG Airport and travel south into central Paris, exiting at Châtelet–Les Halles — one of the busiest and most confusing interchange stations in France. You then navigate to the RER A platform and take the train eastbound to Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy, which is the Disneyland Paris station.
Total journey time varies from 60 to 90 minutes — and that's without delays, platform confusion, or the challenge of navigating RER B stairs and gates with a pushchair and four suitcases.
The RER option works well for:
- Solo travellers or couples travelling light
- Budget-conscious travellers happy to trade comfort for cost
- Seasoned Paris visitors comfortable with the metro system
It is not recommended for families with young children, large luggage, or anyone arriving from a long-haul flight at 6am.
03 Shared Shuttle Bus — Affordable But Slow
Several coach operators run shared shuttle services between CDG and Disneyland Paris on fixed schedules. The journey is typically direct but slower than a private car due to the shared nature of the service — your coach may pick up passengers from multiple terminals or make intermediate stops.
Expect a journey time of 60–80 minutes in normal conditions. The per-person cost is lower than a private transfer for individuals but works out comparable for families of three or more once you factor in the additional time cost and lack of child seat provision.
Shuttle services run on fixed departure times, meaning if your flight arrives just after a departure, you may wait 60–90 minutes for the next one. There is no flight tracking — if your flight is delayed, you may miss your booked shuttle entirely.
04 Paris Taxi — Flexible But Expensive and Unpredictable
Standard metered taxis are available in the taxi rank outside each CDG terminal. There is no pre-booking required — simply queue and take the next available vehicle. However, metered fares from CDG to Disneyland Paris can reach €90–130 in heavy traffic, compared to a fixed-fare private transfer.
Standard Paris taxis are saloon cars — a single large suitcase and a pushchair will fill the boot entirely. Child seats are not routinely provided, and there is no flight monitoring — the driver has no way of knowing your flight is delayed.
For a solo traveller or a couple with minimal luggage, a taxi is a reasonable last-minute option. For families, it rarely competes.
05 Our Verdict: The Best Way to Get from CDG to Disneyland Paris
For the vast majority of travellers making this journey — particularly families — a private minivan transfer is the clear winner. It is faster than the train (no changes, no navigation), more reliable than a shared shuttle (flight tracking, fixed schedule to you not to a timetable), more spacious than a taxi, and the fixed pricing removes all fare uncertainty.
When you arrive after a long flight with tired children, the ability to walk out of arrivals and find your named driver — ready to take you directly to your Disney hotel door — is worth considerably more than the price difference versus a train ticket.
