How to Get from Paris to Disneyland: all options

To travel from Paris to Disneyland, you will find several transportation options, some more convenient than others depending on your particular situation: Disney excursions, private transfers, public transportation, taxis, and you can even buy your Disneyland ticket with express bus service. We explore everything here!

Disneyland is located approximately 40 kilometers from the center of Paris. And precisely because of its proximity, it is one of the favorite excursions for both Parisians and locals.

The easiest way to embark on this adventure is to book a private transfer from Paris to Disneyland. This way, you'll avoid all the hassles associated with planning and logistics.

It's a very convenient option that includes pick-up service from your hotel or the airport. In addition, the vehicle will be fully equipped and you'll have a professional driver at your disposal. However, it does not include tickets to Disneyland Paris.

• Price: from €50.
• Recommended if... you don't want to worry about logistics.

Another option is to buy your ticket to Disneyland with express bus service. Highly recommended for those traveling to Paris with children because they can meet other fellow adventurers. Among the amenities included, you will have your ticket to the amusement park with direct access and no queues.

In general, the buses are comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. These excursions depart daily from the capital to Disneyland, and it is very easy to find several different companies to choose from. They usually offer several meeting points in Paris.

• Price: this excursion is available from €114, including admission to Disneyland.
• Recommended if... You are enjoying a fun vacation in Paris, are looking for a one- or two-day trip to Disneyland, and don't want to organize too many details but simply sit back and enjoy the adventure.

My second favorite option among the transportation alternatives to get to Disneyland Paris is to take the RER A urban train. Paris' urban transportation is one of the best in the world, so you can be sure of a punctual and smooth journey.

For accurate information on schedules, visit the official website. The last train back to Paris from Disneyland leaves around midnight, so if you go in the summer, when Disneyland is open until 1 a.m., you may miss your transport.

Urban trains run throughout the day at approximately 15-minute intervals. From central Paris, you can take the RER A from five different stations:

• Charles de Gaulle Etoile: located at the Arc de Triomphe.
• Auber: located near the Galeries Lafayette.
• Chatelet Les Halles: in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.
• Gare de Lyon: rated as the largest train station in Paris and located in the 12th arrondissement.
• Nation metro station: located opposite Place Nation, in the 11th arrondissement.

The trip back to Paris is usually a lot of fun. As it is a widely used and inexpensive method of transport, it is full of tourists and locals wearing colorful Mickey Mouse ears, and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

• Price: a one-way ticket from central Paris to Disneyland costs at least €7.60.
• Duration: the RER A train travels at high speed, but the journey, including stops, usually takes between 40 and 45 minutes.
• Recommended if... you are looking for the most economical option. Also if you are traveling to Disneyland for several days, 4 or 5, and are looking for an alternative that will save you money.

To get to Disneyland by car from Paris, take the A4 motorway and then exit 14, Parques Disney and Bailly-Romainvilliers. Although it requires more organization, renting a car or using your own vehicle to get to Disneyland is a viable alternative that hundreds of people use frequently.

If you are going to Paris with your own vehicle, you are halfway there, but if you are interested in renting some form of transportation, the Parisian capital offers hundreds of alternatives, most of which you can quote and book entirely online. Here are a few alternatives:

• AVIS.
• EuropCar.
• SIXT.

The biggest drawback is the additional costs you'll need to factor into your budget, such as fuel and parking fees at Disneyland, which are around €25 for motorcycles, €30 for small cars, and €45 for caravans. However, if you have a Magic Pass, it's free. I don't recommend this option if you're going to the park for several days in a row, as it won't be economical.

• Price: from €10 per day, however, this price will increase depending on the type of vehicle you choose and the rental company. Also consider parking and fuel costs.
• Travel time: this is the fastest option available. From the center of Paris, it will only take you about 30 minutes to reach the complex by car.
• Recommended if... you want total flexibility to arrive and leave at the time you prefer. It is also an alternative if you want to stay in Disney Village after the parks close.

If you want to travel to Disneyland in comfortable and safe transportation, but don't want to drive and plan a route, or share transportation with other people, a taxi is an option. In the French capital, it's very easy to find taxi companies that offer first-class service, with very friendly staff and drivers who can communicate with you efficiently in Spanish.

Below is a list of Parisian taxi companies for your reference:

• ÜBER.
• Taxi G7.
• Alpha Taxis.
• Taxis-Paris.

The main advantage of this option is that you can request a direct pick-up at your hotel and schedule a second return trip when you come back. The companies have a virtual platform that allows you to request the service conveniently. However, from my perspective, the biggest drawback is the cost. Additionally, don't forget that companies like UBER work perfectly.

• Price: although it will depend greatly on the company you hire, you will pay an average of €100 per trip.
• Journey time: as this is a car journey with no stops, you can make the trip in just 30 minutes.
• Recommended if... you can't or don't want to drive in Paris or don't want to share transportation with other people.
