For families across the East Midlands, Disneyland Paris is an easy and affordable break, especially with low-cost flights serving the region. The journey itself is short, but the way you piece it together — which airport you fly into, and how you cover the final leg — makes a real difference to how relaxed the trip feels. A bit of planning turns a long travel day into a smooth one.
This guide sets out the flight options from the East Midlands, explains the trade-offs between the different Paris airports, and shows how a fixed-price private transfer finishes the trip without the stress of trains and changes. The aim is simple: land, meet your driver, and arrive at the resort with everyone in good spirits.
Flight options from the region
Travellers from the East Midlands typically fly to Paris from East Midlands Airport or a nearby hub, with low-cost carriers a popular choice. Some of these routes land at Beauvais, while others connect into Charles de Gaulle. The flight is short, so the bigger decision is which Paris airport you end up at, because that shapes the length and cost of the onward transfer.
Choosing the right airport
Where you have a choice, Charles de Gaulle is the most convenient because it is closest to the resort, keeping the transfer short. Beauvais, often used by budget airlines, is much farther out at around 150 km, which means a longer drive and a price on request. Knowing this in advance helps you weigh a cheap flight against a longer, pricier transfer at the other end.
Book your Paris airport transfer
Land, meet your driver and ride straight to the resort — from 70 euros at CDG, with free child seats, flight tracking and no meter or surge.
From Charles de Gaulle
If your flight lands at CDG, the drive to Disneyland Paris is around 45 minutes in normal traffic, with our fixed fare starting at 70 euros. There is no meter and no surge, so an evening arrival costs the same as a midday one. Your driver tracks the flight, meets you in arrivals with a name board and takes you straight to your hotel or the gates. Our airport transfer service covers the route in full.
From Beauvais
If you fly into Beauvais, the transfer is longer — about 150 km and roughly an hour and fifteen minutes to the resort. Because of the distance it is priced on request rather than at a flat starting rate, but the same fixed-price principle applies: the figure is agreed before you travel. Our Beauvais transfer service handles this route door to door with English-speaking drivers.
Why a private transfer suits families
After a flight with children, the RER and shuttle hopping can be a tiring end to the day. A private car removes the changes: one vehicle, one driver, straight to the resort. Child and booster seats are free, and minivans seat up to seven or eight, so the whole family travels together. Booking the return at the same time keeps the trip stress-free from start to finish.
