Thalys Brussels to Disneyland Paris Guide

Thalys is now Eurostar, but the Brussels route is unchanged — you arrive Gare du Nord, then a fixed €90 taxi to the park.

From €90 ~50 min taxi leg
Quick answer

From Brussels the high-speed train (formerly Thalys, now Eurostar) reaches Paris Gare du Nord in about 1h25; a fixed €90 private taxi for 1–3 then covers the last 50 minutes to Disneyland Paris, with free child seats and no meter.

Thalys is now Eurostar — the Brussels route is the same

If you booked "Thalys" and are now seeing Eurostar, nothing has gone wrong. The two operators merged under the Eurostar name in late 2023. The Brussels-Midi to Paris high-speed service runs on the same line, at the same speeds, arriving at the same place: Paris Gare du Nord. The only thing that changed is the branding on the ticket. From Gare du Nord you still need a final leg to Disneyland Paris, and that is where we come in.

The rail leg itself is quick — roughly 1 hour 25 minutes from Brussels. The friction is the last 40 kilometres across and out of Paris, which is why a fixed-price private car makes the biggest difference to a Brussels family trip.

The fixed €90 leg from Gare du Nord

Because Gare du Nord is in central Paris, the transfer to the park is our standard city fare: a flat €90 for one to three passengers, direct to your Disney hotel in about 50 minutes. It is the same basis as our Paris Disney transfer and Disneyland Paris transfer, agreed before you travel and unaffected by traffic or a late train. Your driver meets you with a name board at the Gare du Nord arrivals area.

Why not just take the RER?

You can reach the park from Gare du Nord on public transport — RER B to Châtelet–Les Halles, change to the RER A eastbound to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy — but that is a change, a zoned ticket and 70–90 minutes of standing with luggage after an international train. For two or more people, a single fixed €90 car is usually faster, calmer and comparable on cost. If your itinerary also includes flying out of Paris, our Disneyland Paris airport transfer covers CDG, Orly and Beauvais.

Frequently asked questions

Is Thalys still called Thalys?

No — Thalys merged into the Eurostar brand in October 2023. The Brussels–Paris high-speed service still runs on the same tracks and timetable, just under the Eurostar name. It arrives at Paris Gare du Nord, the same as before.

How long is Brussels to Disneyland Paris by train plus taxi?

The high-speed leg from Brussels-Midi to Paris Gare du Nord is about 1 hour 25 minutes. Add a 50-minute private taxi from Gare du Nord to the park, plus transfer time at the station, and the whole journey is roughly 2.5–3 hours door to door.

How much is the taxi from Gare du Nord to Disneyland?

A fixed €90 for 1–3 passengers, per car, direct to your Disney hotel. Four is €100, up to €120 for eight. No meter, no surge, free child seats.

Can I avoid changing trains across Paris?

Yes. That is the main reason Brussels travellers book a car: rather than dragging bags from Gare du Nord onto the RER B and RER A with a change at Châtelet, your driver meets you at the platform and takes you straight to the park.

Do you track the train from Brussels?

Yes. We monitor your Eurostar (ex-Thalys) service by number, so a late departure from Brussels-Midi or a slow border check does not cost you anything — the driver meets your real arrival.
