Disneyland Paris Trip - Train voyage to and From Paris

Disneyland Paris is, for many, a dream destination especially if you have a young family. Train travel is one of the easiest ways to get to the park and the French have made it easy to travel to and from Paris by train with trains running approx every 15 mins.  

The center for Euro Disney is positioned just outside the main entrances to the parks so once you get off your train it is a stones throw from the magic of the parks and you are already slap bang in the climate of Disney. The train center is also next to the bus center so it is easy to transfer to a shuttle if you are staying on site or get a local bus to the area in which you are staying. I understand there is also a aid where if you are staying in a Disney Hotel your luggage can be taken to your hotel for you meaning you are able to enjoy the parks right away!  

Paris Travel Card

City trains travel to and from central Paris to Euro Disneyland throughout the day at practically 15 little intervals from the following five large central Paris Rer A Stations: Charles de Gaulle Etoile (at Arc de Triomphe), Auber (at Galeries Lafayette shopping center), Chatelet Les Halles (massive incommunicable shopping centre and largest underground/subway center in the world), Gare de Lyon and Nation station. The center at Euro Disney is called Marne La Vallee / Disney  

You will need to buy Zone 1 -Zone 5 label which will cover both the incommunicable and over ground parts of your journey. A one way label costs approx Eur6.45 and can be purchased by automatic machine (different languages can be chosen) and can be paid for by coins or a chip and pin card. If there are several of you travelling or you intend to make multiple journeys they you would be advised to but a book of ten tickets as this will give you two free tickets. On our case there was a party of 5 adults on a day trip to Paris so we purchased a book of ten tickets which made the total cost of the journey Eur51.60 rather than Eur64.50. Eur10.32 per someone rather than Eur12.90 a good saving.  

French trains are very dependable and the trip from Disneyland Paris to the centre of Paris only took 40 mins each way with the trains running on time. This was much easier than trying to drive into the capital.
