Private Cab / Minivan
The Clear Best Option
For the vast majority of families and groups travelling to Disneyland Paris, a pre-booked private cab or minivan is simply the best way to get there. Here's why.

Advantages
- Fixed price — no meter, no surprises
- Door-to-door, no connections
- Private — your group only
- Luggage space for the whole family
- Child seats available free
- English-speaking driver
- Flight tracking for delays
- Up to 8 passengers per minivan
Considerations
- Higher cost for solo travellers
- Must book in advance

#2 — Budget Choice
RER A Train
Cheapest, But Not Easiest
The RER A train is the most affordable way to get to Disneyland Paris from central Paris. But for families with luggage, it comes with real challenges.
RER A Train to Marne-la-Vallée
The RER A train runs directly from central Paris (Nation, Gare de Lyon, Châtelet-Les Halles, Charles de Gaulle-Étoile) to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, which is the Disneyland Paris station. It's cheap, frequent, and fast for solo travellers or couples without much luggage. For families with strollers, multiple suitcases, and tired children, it's a different story.
Advantages
- Cheapest option available
- Direct line — no changes from Paris
- Frequent departures
- ~40 min journey time
Disadvantages
- Requires transfer if from CDG/Orly
- Crowded, especially weekends
- No luggage help or space
- Strollers very difficult to manage
- Multiple tickets for families
- Not available direct from airports

#3 — Shared Option
Shared Shuttle Bus
Affordable but Slow
Shared Shuttle / Coach Service
Shared shuttle services operate between Paris airports and Disneyland Paris. You share the vehicle with other passengers, which means multiple stops and significantly longer journey times. Cheaper than a private cab, but the time cost often outweighs the saving for families.
Advantages
- Lower cost than private cab
- No need for public transport connections
- Air-conditioned vehicles
Disadvantages
- Shared with strangers
- Multiple stops add time
- Journey time often 90min+
- Fixed departure times
- Child seats often unavailable
- Must wait for all passengers to board

#4 — Unpredictable
Standard Taxi or Uber
Risky Pricing for Long Rides
Standard Paris Taxi / Ride-Hailing
Hailing a standard Paris taxi or booking Uber for a long-distance journey like CDG to Disneyland carries significant cost risk. Metered taxis are affected by traffic, and surge pricing on ride-hailing apps can dramatically inflate the fare. Families of 5+ also often can't fit in a single standard car.
Advantages
- Available without pre-booking
- Comfortable for 1–4 people
- Direct route
Disadvantages
- Metered — price varies with traffic
- Surge pricing on busy days
- Driver may not speak English
- No guarantee of vehicle size
- No flight monitoring
- Child seats usually extra cost
- No fixed price — budget uncertainty

Our Final Verdict
For Families: Private Cab
Wins Every Time
Wins Every Time
When you factor in the total cost per person, luggage space, child seat availability, journey time, and peace of mind — a pre-booked private minivan with CDGParisCab is the best way to get to Disneyland Paris for any group of 2 or more. Fixed price. Door-to-door. Zero stress.
By Airport
Best Way to Disneyland Paris
From Each Airport
Your best option varies slightly depending on which Paris airport you're arriving at.
From CDG Airport (Charles de Gaulle)
CDG is the closest major airport to Disneyland Paris. A private cab with CDGParisCab is the fastest, simplest option — your driver meets you at arrivals and you're at Disney in approximately 45 minutes. The RER B to Paris then RER A to Disneyland requires two train changes and is not recommended for families with luggage.
From Orly Airport
From Orly, a private cab is again the easiest option. By public transport you'd need the OrlyBus or OrlyVal to a RER station, then the RER A — multiple connections with luggage. A direct private cab from Orly to Disneyland Paris takes about 55 minutes with no changes.
From Beauvais Airport
Beauvais is used by Ryanair and other budget carriers. The shuttle bus from Beauvais goes to central Paris — not Disneyland. A private cab is the only sensible direct option, taking approximately 90 minutes. Skip the Paris-Beauvais coach and go straight to the magic.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
About Getting to Disneyland Paris
What is the best way to get to Disneyland Paris from CDG airport? +
The best way to get to Disneyland Paris from CDG airport for families is a pre-booked private cab or minivan with CDGParisCab. Your driver waits at arrivals, monitors your flight for delays, and takes you directly to Disneyland in approximately 45 minutes. Book at cdgpariscab.com or call +33 6 52 03 99 15.
How long does it take to get to Disneyland Paris from Paris city centre? +
From central Paris, Disneyland Paris takes approximately 35–50 minutes by private cab (depending on traffic) or around 40 minutes by RER A train (direct service from Nation, Gare de Lyon, Châtelet-Les Halles). A private cab is faster in practice because you don't need to walk to/from stations with luggage.
Is the RER A good for getting to Disneyland Paris with kids? +
The RER A is good for adults travelling light, but it's genuinely challenging for families with young children, strollers, and multiple suitcases. The trains get very crowded, there are limited opportunities to store luggage, and navigating platforms with a stroller and tired children is stressful. A private cab is considerably more family-friendly.
What is the cheapest way to get to Disneyland Paris? +
The cheapest way to get to Disneyland Paris from central Paris is the RER A train. However, for families of 4 or more, the total cost of multiple train tickets can approach or exceed the fixed price of a private cab — especially when factoring in luggage and convenience. For groups, a private minivan often offers better value per person.
Can I get from Beauvais airport directly to Disneyland Paris? +
The standard Beauvais shuttle bus only goes to Paris city centre (Porte Maillot / Montparnasse) — not directly to Disneyland Paris. The only direct option from Beauvais to Disneyland is a private cab or taxi. CDGParisCab offers direct transfers from Beauvais airport to Disneyland Paris in approximately 90 minutes.
Is there a direct train from CDG airport to Disneyland Paris? +
There is no single direct train from CDG to Disneyland Paris without a change. You must take the RER B from CDG to a central Paris station, then transfer to the RER A for Disneyland. This involves two trains, navigating Paris Metro connections with luggage, and is not recommended for families. A private cab with CDGParisCab is far more straightforward.
How much does a private cab from CDG to Disneyland cost? +
CDGParisCab charges a fixed fare for all private cab transfers. Get an instant quote at cdgpariscab.com by entering your pickup and destination. The exact price depends on vehicle type and group size. There are no hidden charges — the price quoted is final. Call +33 6 52 03 99 15 for a custom quote for groups.
Do taxis in Paris go to Disneyland Paris? +
Yes, Paris taxis will take you to Disneyland Paris, but the journey is metered and can become expensive — especially in traffic. The fare can vary significantly depending on the time of day and route. For a guaranteed fixed price, a pre-booked private cab with CDGParisCab is the smarter choice for longer journeys to Disneyland.
