Getting there: Public Transportation (from Paris) Local Paris Transport Metro/RER Express Train The quickest way to get straight to Disneyland Paris from the capital is to take the Metro/RER "A" express train. It's only a 40-minute trip and you arrive right at the gates of the Theme Park!
Getting there: For travellers from Scotland you may find this advice useful supplied by Rosemary in October 2002 We flew from Prestwick Airport (near Ayr on the west coast of Scotland) to Paris Beauvais airport with Ryanair. Booking it over the internet usually guarantees a cheap price, but it varies from day to day. Beauvais is a tiny airport about an hours drive by coach from Paris. The flight itself took just over one hour and once we were there we paid 10 euros each for the coach to Paris. The coach is supplied by Ryanair and is scheduled to leave about 20 minutes after the plane lands. The coach then takes you to the Porte Maillott region of Paris and drops off outside the Hotel Concorde la Fayette. (Sadly this is nowhere near anything worth looking at) It’s then a short walk to the Porte Maillott metro station where you take the metro 2 stops to Charles de Gaulle Étoile station for the connecting train to Marne le Vallée. The only problems we had with this was carrying our luggage, so pack light! Also, once we arrived at Charles de Gaulle Étoile metro it was a surprise to learn that the RER station was two flights BELOW the metro. This was really awkward as there was only up escalators not down so all our bags were lugged down steep flights of stairs. However, it was very good value as the metro and train fairs return to Disney were 53 euros and that was for 4 adults and one child. Our 2 eldest aged 11 and 13 both had to pay an adult fare. We met some people from the north of England on our flight that had driven north to take advantage of the cheap flights and they were considering taking a taxi from the airport to Disney as they suspected for a large family it might be cheaper; however, we did not find fares out although I would consider that next time. Once at Disney, we were able to access our room immediately in the hotel Cheyenne, so from leaving Scotland at 7am we were unpacked by 12pm.not bad really. Incidentally, the parks were great and we did not have to stand in a queue at all for the first three days, although the weekend was a different story!

Getting there : By Air
British Airways, the preferred airline of Disneyland Paris from the United Kingdom, offers a large choice of daily flights to the two Paris airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, including 16 from London's two airports, Gatwick and Heathrow. There are also services from Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle and other services from a further ten UK airports. So why not make a flying visit to the most magical kingdom of them all. Airport-Resort Hotel Transfers Official VEA Airport-Hotel Transfers Shuttle buses link both Paris airports with all the Disneyland Paris hotels (except Davy Crockett Ranch), as well as the bus station situated in the heart of Disneyland Paris. Journey time is less than one hour from either airport, with frequent departures (approximately every 45 minutes from 8:30am to 7:45pm). Follow the signs for "VEA Navettes Disneyland Paris" to board. The one-way fare is approximately 85 FF. Regarding Davy Crockett Ranch. There are no services here at all. If this is where you are intending to stay it is important to remember that if you don't have access to a car you are going to find your time there very difficult indeed. Whilst it is not so far from the airports the taxi fare could and probably would clean you out financially.
