Brussels is one of the easiest cities in Europe to reach Disneyland Paris from, thanks to a direct high-speed rail link that drops you at the station beside the park gates. For Belgian families and for travellers connecting through Brussels, the resort is within easy reach for a long weekend or even a single packed day. The trick is matching the limited direct services to your plans, and knowing your options when they do not line up.
This guide sets out the direct train, the route via central Paris, and how a private transfer handles the final leg from a station, airport or city address to your hotel door. The aim is a journey that ends at the resort rather than at a platform with luggage still to carry.
The direct high-speed train
A direct high-speed service runs from Brussels-Midi straight to Marne-la-Vallee/Chessy, the station that sits at the entrance to Disneyland Paris, in around one hour and twenty-five minutes. It is the fastest and simplest option when the timetable suits you, with no change of train and an arrival point a short walk from the gates. Because direct departures are limited each day, book early and build your travel times around them rather than the other way round.
Going via central Paris
When the direct service does not fit, the alternative is a train to central Paris, typically Gare du Nord, followed by an onward leg to the resort. This adds a transfer and usually pushes the total to two or three hours. From a Paris terminus you can take the RER A or, for a smoother finish with luggage and children, a private car. Our Paris to Disney transfer service covers exactly this final leg with a fixed fare.
The final leg by private car
Whether you arrive at Marne-la-Vallee, a Paris station, or one of the airports if you fly, a private transfer turns the last stretch into a single door-to-door ride. From a central Paris address the fixed fare starts at 90 euros, with no meter and no surge pricing, and your driver helps with the bags and fits free child seats for families. For airport arrivals, see our airport transfer to Disneyland Paris page.

Train or private car from Brussels
For most people the answer is both: the high-speed train for the long stretch between cities, and a private car for the awkward last leg if you land somewhere other than the resort station. The direct train wins on speed and value when it runs at the right time. A private car wins on comfort and certainty, fitting child seats, carrying luggage and keeping a group together without changes. Pick the mix that matches your timetable and the size of your party.
Tips for families travelling from Brussels
Book the direct train as early as you can, since the best departure times fill up. Travel light if you plan to use the station walk at the resort end, or arrange a private car if you have pushchairs and cases. If your group is larger than a standard car, a minivan keeps everyone together. For families weighing the wider options, our Disneyland Paris transfer page lays out the full range of services and vehicles.
