The high-speed train from Brussels to Paris is one of the quickest cross-border hops in Europe, putting you in the French capital in under an hour and a half. For Disneyland Paris guests it is a brilliant way to start the trip — comfortable, central and luggage-friendly. The one detail that catches people out is what happens after the train: the resort is still around 32 km east of the arrival station, so there is a final leg to plan.
This arrival guide explains where the train sets you down, how long the onward journey to the resort takes, and why a fixed-price private transfer is the easiest way to cover it. The aim is a seamless handover: step off the train, meet your driver, and arrive at the gates with the holiday already feeling relaxed.
The train journey from Brussels
The high-speed service from Brussels to Paris runs frequently and takes around one hour and twenty-five minutes. It is a smooth, centre-to-centre ride with generous luggage space and no airport-style queues. Because it is so quick, many families treat Brussels as an easy gateway to the resort, especially when combined with onward connections from elsewhere in Belgium or the Netherlands.
Where the train arrives in Paris
Trains from Brussels pull into Gare du Nord, one of the major central stations in Paris. It is well connected but busy, and the RER link out to Marne-la-Vallee involves a change and a fair amount of walking with bags. That is precisely the moment where a private transfer earns its keep, collecting you at the station and removing the rest of the hassle in one move.
Meet your driver at the station
A fixed-price transfer from a central Paris station starts at 90 euros and runs straight to the resort — free child seats, luggage help and no RER changes.
From Gare du Nord to the resort
A private transfer from Gare du Nord to Disneyland Paris takes around 45 minutes in normal traffic. Your driver meets you at the station with a name board, helps with the bags and drives straight to your hotel or the park gates. The fixed fare from a central Paris station starts at 90 euros, with no meter and no surge, so the price you book is the price you pay. Our Paris to Disney transfer service is designed for exactly this handover.
Why not the RER?
The RER A does connect central Paris to the resort and is good value, but from Gare du Nord it usually means a change at Chatelet-Les Halles, plus stairs and crowds with your luggage. For a couple travelling light it is fine; for a family with cases and small children it can be a tiring end to an otherwise smooth train ride. A private car turns that into a single seated leg.
Booking the onward leg
Book your transfer when you reserve the train, giving us the train number and arrival time. We monitor the service so a late arrival simply shifts the pickup. Child and booster seats are free, minivans seat up to seven or eight, and the whole service runs 24 hours a day.
