Taking the Eurostar to Disneyland Paris is one of the most relaxed ways to reach the resort from the UK, swapping the airport routine for a couple of hours of city-centre to city-centre rail. The one thing that confuses many first-timers is the station question: there used to be a direct train to the resort, but for most travellers the journey now runs through central Paris.
This guide clears up which station you will arrive at, explains when the direct resort service applies, and shows how to transfer the final stretch without wrestling luggage through a busy interchange. The smoothest option is a fixed-price private taxi waiting for you when you step off the train.
The direct Eurostar to the resort
A direct Eurostar from London to Marne-la-Vallee Chessy, the station right beside the resort, has historically run only on a limited number of days. If your dates happen to line up with a direct service, you arrive a short walk from the park gates and the trip is wonderfully simple. For everyone else, the standard service is the realistic option, and that means arriving in the heart of Paris first.
Arriving at Gare du Nord
Standard Eurostar trains from London arrive at Gare du Nord in central Paris. It is a large, busy station, and from here you have a choice: continue by RER and a connecting train, or transfer directly by private car. The rail route involves at least one change and offers very little luggage space, which is the part families tend to dread after a morning of travel. A private taxi from the station is a fixed fare from €90 and avoids all of it.
Step off the Eurostar and into your car
A fixed-price transfer from €90 takes you from Gare du Nord straight to the resort, door to door, with free child seats and an English-speaking driver waiting at the station.
From Gare du Nord to Disneyland Paris by taxi
By private car the run from Gare du Nord to the resort takes around 45 minutes in normal traffic, heading east and joining the A4 motorway towards Marne-la-Vallee. Your driver meets you at an agreed point with a name board, helps with the cases and sets off straight away. Because the fare is fixed before you travel, the time spent in any city-centre traffic does not change the price. Our Paris Disney transfer service covers this exact route.
Taxi versus RER from the station
The RER and a connecting train will get you to the resort for less money, and on a quiet day it is perfectly doable. The trade-offs are the change of train, the lack of luggage room and the stairs at both ends. For two adults travelling light it can be a sensible choice; for families, larger groups or anyone with several suitcases, the door-to-door car wins on comfort. A single minivan seats up to seven or eight, so most groups stay together.
Booking the transfer with your Eurostar
Give us your Eurostar arrival time when you book and we time the pickup to match, holding the slot even if the train runs a little late. The same applies on the way back, with a return from your hotel to Gare du Nord arranged around your departure so you reach the Eurostar check-in calmly. To see how the resort service fits the rest of your trip, our Disney Paris taxi page brings it all together.
