One of the most popular routes for families in France is from Charles de Gaulle to Disneyland Paris. From CDG, the distance to the park is approximately 40 to 45 kilometres, depending on the terminal where you are landing, and there are various modes of transport available to reach the Disney park. Depending on how many people you are travelling with, the quantity of your luggage, and how much energy you have after a long flight, some work better than others.
Here’s what your options actually look like in 2026.
Private Transfer — The Most Straightforward Option
A private transfer from CDG to Disneyland Paris is the most convenient choice for most families and groups. Your driver greets you in arrivals, transfers your bags, and gets you straight to your hotel at Disney or the park. No sharing, no hassle, no cost surprises, door-to-door fare, agreed in advance of travel.
This takes about 40 to 50 minutes, depending on the traffic. Prices begin at €70 for up to three passengers, child seats are free 60 minutes of free waiting time at the airport.
This is indeed the most stress-free way to travel for anyone who is travelling with children, has heavy luggage, or a group of four or more.
RER Train — Cheapest but Not Always Practical
For those who are travelling light and unaccompanied, the RER is the budget choice, and it works great. CDG is served by the RER B running towards central Paris, so change at Châtelet–Les Halles or at Gare de Lyon onto the RER A, then head straight on to the final stop, Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy opposite the park.
The travel time is 60 to 75 minutes with a ticket priced at approximately €20 to €25 per person. The Marne-la-Vallée station is just a short distance from the park entrance and Disney Village.
The challenges come when it comes to bags and kids. The trains are frequently crowded, especially during school holidays. After a flight across Europe, it is very tiring to deal with suitcases, a pushchair, and exhausted children in two full Paris stations. It is also important to note that the trains are not available 24 hours a day.
Shuttle Bus — Fixed Schedule, Shared Ride
Shared shuttle services operate between CDG and Disneyland Paris, usually from a designated pick-up point outside of the CDG arrivals and at Disney hotels. They are costlier than the train and less costly than a private transfer.
The biggest drawback is the set timetable. You may find that your flight arrives late at the airport or that you spend longer than you think at baggage reclaim, in which case you will miss the allocated car shuttle and will need to wait for the next car shuttle. Also, you will have to share the car with other travellers which will add time if you have multiple hotel returns to make.
This can work when travelling alone or with a small amount of suitcases. When it comes to families, lack of flexibility makes it less desirable.
Standard Taxi — Metered and Unpredictable
There are standard airport taxis at the taxi stands outside the CDG terminals. They have a meter, and the price for Disneyland Paris is usually between €80 and €120, depending on the driver’s route, traffic and time of day.
It’s the uncertainty that’s the problem. The actual price can vary based on customer demand and is not guaranteed until your arrival. There’s also no tracking system for flights, no promise that the vehicle would be appropriate for the size of your party, and no child seats, unless you specifically ask for this and get lucky.
