Train vs Taxi from Orly to Disneyland Paris

Choosing between the train vs taxi from Orly to Disneyland Paris comes down to what you value most: the lowest per-person price, or the easiest door-to-door journey. The train wins on raw ticket cost, but it asks a lot of you in changes and effort. The taxi costs more upfront yet removes almost every hassle. Here is the honest comparison.

The train route from Orly

There is no single train from Orly to the resort. The usual route starts with the Orlyval automated shuttle to Antony, where you join the RER B towards central Paris. You then change onto the RER A and ride out to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy at the gates of Disneyland Paris. Tram and bus combinations exist as alternatives, but they generally take longer. Whichever you pick, expect at least one change, some stairs, and the challenge of moving luggage through busy interchanges.

What the train costs and how long it takes

The combined Orlyval and RER fare is only a few euros per person, which is genuinely cheap for a solo traveller. The total time, however, is rarely quick: once you factor in the Orlyval, waiting for connecting trains and the change in the network, the journey commonly runs longer than the road option. And every additional family member means another ticket, so the price advantage narrows as your party grows.

The taxi: direct and door to door

A private taxi covers the roughly 50 kilometres from Orly to Disneyland Paris in around 50 to 60 minutes, with no changes at all. The fixed fare starts from €90 for the whole vehicle, so it is shared rather than charged per head. You get meet-and-greet, flight tracking, free waiting and free child seats — and you step out at your hotel rather than at a station with bags to carry.

So which should you choose?

• Solo or couple travelling light and watching the budget: the train is hard to beat on price.
• Family or group with luggage: the taxi's fixed fare and single ride usually win overall.
• Late arrival: the taxi runs 24/7, while the Orlyval and RER thin out at night.
