Eurostar at Gare du Nord to Disneyland Paris: Your Options

If you are travelling from London by train, your journey from Gare du Nord to Disneyland Paris begins the moment you step off the Eurostar. Gare du Nord is one of Europe's busiest stations, sitting in central-northern Paris, and it is the terminus where every Eurostar from St Pancras pulls in. From here Disneyland is roughly 35 to 40 km away by road, so you are not far from the parks at all. The only real decision is how you cover that last stretch.

There are two sensible routes: the regional train network, or a private door-to-door taxi. Each suits a different kind of traveller, and the right choice usually comes down to how much luggage you have, how many people are in your party, and how tired everyone is after the Channel crossing. Let us walk through both.

The RER route: cheap but involves a change

The budget option uses the suburban RER network. RER B runs directly from Gare du Nord, so you board there and ride south to Châtelet-Les Halles. At Châtelet you change onto RER A heading east, which carries you all the way to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, the station beneath the parks. It works, and it is inexpensive, but the change is the catch.

Châtelet-Les Halles is a vast, busy interchange with long corridors and plenty of stairs, and navigating it with suitcases and excited children is hard work. Counting the connection, the whole journey typically runs 60 to 90 minutes, and late in the evening the useful services thin out. If you want a wider view of train travel into Disneyland, our guide on how to get to Disneyland Paris from Paris covers the network in detail.

The private taxi route: one ride, fixed price

The alternative is a private transfer that collects you at the station and drops you at your hotel door. Because Gare du Nord is in the heart of the city, we treat the journey as a Paris-city run, with a fixed fare from €90 for a saloon carrying up to three passengers. A minivan seating up to seven or eight is available for larger groups and more luggage. The drive itself takes roughly 45 to 55 minutes depending on traffic.

The appeal is simplicity. There is no change at Châtelet, no wrestling cases up escalators, and no meter. The price is agreed when you book, so a busy road does not inflate your fare. You can see how the city rate compares with airport routes on our Disney Paris taxi page and our broader Disneyland Paris transfer service.

Meet-and-greet and Eurostar tracking

Eurostar timings can shift, and the last thing you want after a cross-Channel trip is to hunt for a driver in a heaving concourse. We track your train, so your English-speaking driver knows when you actually arrive and meets you with a name board. If your Eurostar is delayed, the driver simply waits, with no extra charge for the hold-up. Free child seats can be fitted in advance, which matters enormously when you are travelling with toddlers.

Which option should you choose?

If you are a solo traveller or a couple with light luggage and time to spare, the RER is a perfectly good, economical choice. If you are a family or a group, or you are carrying several suitcases, or you simply want to start the holiday relaxed rather than frazzled, the private taxi is hard to beat. A single fixed-price ride straight to Disneyland Hotel, Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge, Hotel New York Art of Marvel, Hotel Cheyenne or Hotel Santa Fe removes every transfer headache in one go.
