How to Get from CDG to Disneyland Paris —
The Complete Family Guide (2025)

You've just landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport after a long flight. The kids are excited but tired. You have three suitcases, a stroller, and a baby seat to carry. Now you need to get to Disneyland Paris — about 50 km away. What's the best option for your family?

This guide covers every realistic option in 2025, with honest assessments of what works well for families with young children and heavy luggage.

Option 1: Private Van Transfer (Recommended for Families)

A private Mercedes van picks you up directly at arrivals with a name sign. Your luggage is loaded, the kids get in, and you go — no connections, no stairs, no crowded carriages.

• ✅ Door-to-door service (CDG arrivals → your hotel at Disneyland)
• ✅ Baby seats and booster seats available on request
• ✅ Fixed price — no meter surprises
• ✅ Driver tracks your flight — free delay wait
• ✅ Cold water, chargers, wipes on board
• ✅ ~45 minutes journey time
• ❌ More expensive than public transport (from €89)

Best for: Families with children under 10, lots of luggage, or anyone who values starting the holiday without stress.

Option 2: RER B + RER A (Public Train)

The classic budget option. Take the RER B from CDG to Paris (Châtelet-Les Halles), then transfer to RER A to Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy.

• ✅ Cheapest option (around €20 per person)
• ✅ Runs frequently
• ❌ 1h30–2h journey with connection
• ❌ Stairs, crowded carriages, no luggage space
• ❌ Nightmare with a stroller at peak times
• ❌ Not suitable for large families with heavy luggage

Best for: Solo travellers or couples with a single backpack.

Option 3: Magical Shuttle (Bus)

A shuttle bus from CDG directly to Disneyland Paris hotels. No transfer needed.

• ✅ Direct — no changing trains
• ✅ Around €25–30 per adult
• ❌ Stops at multiple terminals and hotels → ~1h30–2h total
• ❌ Fixed schedule — if you miss it, you wait
• ❌ Limited luggage space; no guaranteed seating
• ❌ No baby seats

Best for: Adults or older children without much luggage.

Option 4: Standard Taxi or Uber

• ✅ Available on demand
• ❌ Metered — unpredictable cost (can reach €120–180 in traffic)
• ❌ No baby seats guaranteed
• ❌ Standard cars can't fit large families with luggage

Our verdict for families

When you factor in comfort, baby safety, luggage space and the actual cost for a family of 4, the private van offers the best value. The RER might look cheaper on paper, but factor in the stress, the stroller on the stairs, and the 2-hour journey after an international flight — and suddenly €89 for the whole family seems very reasonable.

The magic of Disneyland Paris starts the moment you land. Don't spend the first 2 hours of your holiday wrestling with luggage on crowded trains.
