Seating is non-reserved so it cannot sell out, thus reservations are not required.  This means you’ll get the best price by purchasing tickets either at the Beauvais train station itself, either through a ticket window or at a automated ticket vending machine (shown on right) taking coins and smartchip credit cards. Vending machines like the one shown here is operated through a knob that is turned either clockwise or counter-clockwise to change on screen selections.  Pressing the button in the center of the knob makes a selection.

If you’d like to purchase tickets ahead of time online, for either home delivery or pickup at the train station, you can use the following web sites, depending on your place of residence:

• RailEurope.co.uk (UK)
• RailEurope.com (USA)

The train from Beauvais city centre to Paris - Gare du Nord station takes just over an hour.  From Gare du Nord you’ll have access to Metro Lines 4 and 5 and RER lines B, D and E.  RER B connects to both Aéroport Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly.  RER D quickly whisks you to Gare de Lyon and RER E to Gare St-Lazare.  To get to Euro Disney from Paris after taking the Beauvais train, take the RER D to Gare de Lyon, then the RER A in direction Marne La Vallée Chessy, which is right at Parc Disneyland.

If you’re continuing your journey on the Paris Metro or the RER you’ll need to purchase a new ticket for the trip as this Ter journey is outside the fare zones within Ile-de-France (greater Paris Metropolitan area).  This can be done at ticket windows and ticket vending machines within the RER/Metro end of Gare du Nord (eastern half of station).  See the Gare du Nord photo tour for more information on this station.  See the guide to billet Ile-de-France ticket vending machines or Metro ticket vending machines for more information.

The Roissybus bus stops at CDG Terminal 1 Door 32 for passenger pick up.  Tickets for the Roissybus can be purchased within the glass enclosed bus stop via the vending machine or from the ticket window (which may or may not be manned at the time of your arrival).  Bus tickets can also be purchased from the driver onboard.  Tickets are 8,90€ each.  No child fares are available for this method of Airport to Paris transportation.

Here is a line map for the Roissybus at CDG.  On the right you can see which doors (”porte”) this airport bus stops at to pickup passengers at Terminal 1 (Door 32), Terminal 2B & D2 at Door 11, Terminal 2A & 2C at Door 9 and Terminal 2E & 2F all along on the arrivals level road (flag the driver).

The Roissybus travels from CDG Airport directly to Paris Opéra in the 8th district (arrondissement) close to Galeries Lafayette and Boulevard Haussmann (see photo). It makes no pickups nor dropoffs between CDG and Paris.  First bus departs CDG at 6am. Last Roissy bus departs CDG at 11pm.  First Roissybus depature from Opera in direction of Airport CDG leaves at 5:45am.  Last bus from Opéra to CDG leaves at 11pm.  Passes such as the Pass Navigo Découverte, Pass Navigo, and Paris Visite (5 or 6 zone) are accepted for the Roissybus.  Ticket Mobilis day passes are not accepted.

Les Cars Air France is another bus system using coach type of buses (known as “autocar” in French, hence the name “Les Cars”).  Luggage on these buses can be stowed underneath the passenger seating area, as per normal with coach line buses.  Tickets are more expensive for Les Cars Air France at 14€ or 15€ per person depending on which line you are taking from CDG, either Line 2 or Line 4. Child fares are half the adult price. Tickets should be purchased from the ticket offices out on the terminal roads at the terminal doors specified below. Groups of 4 or more can receive a 15% discount on their tickets.

Air France coach bus Line 2 stops at Porte Maillot at Paris’ North West corner and continues on to Arc de Triomphe/Charles de Gaulle Etoile. Les Car Air France Line 4 stops at Gare de Lyon and continues on to Gare Montparnasse.  These coach buses stop for passenger pickup at Terminal 1 at Door 34 (Porte 34), at Terminal 2B Door 6, 2D Door 6, and 2E Door 3 and 2F Door 3.

Dans un Station RER

Commence le voyage dans n’importe quel station de RER à Paris mentionné au-dessus. Nous voudrons prendre le RER A en direction Marne La Vallée. A l’interieur d’un station RER vous trouveriez les panneaux comme ci-dessous:

Remarquez qu’il y a deux terminus dans ce direction pour le RER A: Boissy-St-Léger et Marne-la-Vallée dont nous voulons prendre Marne-la-Vallée (souvent marqué avec un petit ticket “Parc Disneyland”).

Dans quelques stations du RER comme Châtelet Les Halles et Gare de Lyon, ces panneaux vont vous diriger à un quai avec deux voie sur chaque coté. Ce n’est pas toujours evident quel coté est le bon coté pour le train que nous voulons prendre donc c’est une bonne idée de regarder les panneaux qui notent quel stations sont desservis comme ci-dessous:

Chaque station desservi au long de la ligne sera marqué sur le panneau. Si vous ne trouvez pas le station “Marne La Vallée” marqué sur le panneau, vous êtes au mauvais coté (ou voie).

Les stations sur le panneau qui sont allumés avec un carré jaune seront desservis par le prochain train. Si Marne La Vallée n’est pas allumé, attendez pour le train en suite.

Après vous êtes monté sur le train à DisneyLand Paris, il faut que vous gardez votre titre de transport jusqu’à la sortie du gare à Marne La Vallée.

Quand vous êtes arrivée à Marne La Vallée vous verrez le quai ci-dessous:

This article discusses how to find Eurostar DisneyLand Paris train tickets, how to catch this train, and how to save 15% on DisneyLand Paris Park tickets.

The Eurostar Paris Disneyland train schedule has the first departure leaving London at 07:00 and last at 14:34. The return schedule from DisneyLand Paris to London has the earliest train leaving at 08:10 and the last train leaving at 19:37, arriving in London at 21:12.

Trains on the London side leave from the new St Pancras International station accessible via King’s Cross tube station (click here for a London Tube map).

Paris Disneyland also known as Disneyland Paris, is located at Marne La Vallée–Chessy station.

Everyday there is one direct Eurostar train from London to DisneyLand Paris departing at 08:53 and arriving at 12:27. Total travel time is 2 hours 34 minutes, but there is a one hour time difference between France and England, thus the 11:27 arrival time becomes 12:27 in France.

For the return timetable (DisneyLand Paris to London), there is one direct train (the last of the evening) leaving DisneyLand Paris at 19:37, arriving in London at 21:12.

Most trains serving this route are not direct, with a connection made in Lille on the French side of the Channel. Eurostar trains make the London to Lille leg of the journey in 1 hour 27 minutes, then a change is required to a French TGV (Trains à Grande Vitesse) train which completes the journey to Marne La Vallée–Chessy in just over an hour. Total travel time on connecting train voyages is between 3 to 4 hours depending on the length of the layover in Lille.

Tickets can be purchased online at Eurostar.com. Be sure to search for a return trip, rather than two one way journeys, as the prices for one way tickets are much more expensive.

When using Eurostar.com to find tickets and schedules, enter “London” as the “From” location and “Disneyland Resort” as the arrival location.

The most rapid itinerary would be a departure from London at 08:53 and a return train from Disneyland at 19:37, both of which are direct trains.

After selecting your itinerary on Eurostar.com you’ll be asked to choose a method to receive your tickets: either by mail or through automated ticket collection machines at St Pancras station. In general I’d recommend you choose mail delivery to avoid any lineup or ticket collection machine headaches at the station. There is no charge for having your tickets sent by post.

For ticket collection via the automated machines, you must use the credit card used to make the purchase, and the booking reference number will be requested (sent to you via a confirmation email after completing your online ticket purchase).

Upon arriving at Marne La Vallée–Chessy TGV station near Paris, you’ll be only a few minutes walk from the Parc Disneyland gates. Below is the scene surrounding the train station (visible on the left).

Not visible in the photo, further off to the left, is the entrace gate to Parc Disneyland.

The TGV train schedule from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to DisneyLand Paris has the first train departing at 06:54 in the morning with the last train in the evening departing CDG at 21:55. The frequency of trains varies from 30 minutes to 1h20 between each departure from CDG.

Charles de Gaulle Airport has two separate train stations, one located near Terminal 3 and another located within Terminal 2. The Terminal 2 train station, known as “Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2 - TGV“, is split into two distinct sides, one for RER suburban trains (going to Paris city center), the other TGV high speed intercity trains, one of which travels to DisneyLand Paris.

If you’re arriving at CDG Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, you’ll need to first catch a CDGVAL shuttle train over to Terminal 2. The photo tour of Terminal 1 to Paris contains instructions on finding and taking the CDGVAL shuttle, but don’t get off the shuttle at Terminal 3/Roissypole, stay on the shuttle until it arrives at Terminal 2. This may seem odd, but Terminal 2 is located after Terminal 3 on the CDGVAL shuttle line.

At Terminal 2 the train station is located in between sub-terminals 2D and 2F. If you’ve taken the CDGVAL shuttle, you’ll arrive very close to the train station. See the Terminal 2 to Paris photo tour for instructions on getting to the Aeroport CDG 2 - TGV train station.

Within the photo guide for the Terminal 2 train station is a photo of the TGV (Grandes Lignes) ticket purchase office on the bottom floor (shown below). This office is split into two sides, one side sells tickets for Paris city trains (RER B) and the other side sells intercity Grandes Lignes trains tickets, which includes TGV trains to DisneyLand Paris. If you’re facing the ticket office, the entrance on the right half is the one you’ll want to use to purchase or pickup your Internet bought tickets, as seen in the photo below:

TGV tickets for the CDG to DisneyLand Paris train can be purchased in advance online at RailEurope.co.uk for residents of the UK, from RailEurope.com for residents of USA (beware of delivery fees) and from TGV-Europe.com from elsewhere. See the article on how to purchase TGV tickets without fees from TGV-Europe.

When buying tickets from RailEurope.co.uk, use “Paris CDG Airport” as your departure and “Marne La Vallee Ches” as your arrival location.

When using TGV-Europe.com to find tickets, be sure to use “AIRPORT CDG 2 TGV” as your departure location and “Marne La Vallee” as your arrival station.

If you’re coming from Europe and have a smart chip enabled credit card, you’ll be able to use the automated ticket machines to pick-up your TGV tickets purchased over the Internet. Only the credit card used to make the online ticket purchase can be used to collect the tickets from these machines, so keep this in mind when using these machines. The machines will appear like these below:

When you have tickets in hand, you’ll need to descend onto the TGV train platforms which are one level below the train station ticket office. Take care not to descend onto the RER B train platforms, which serve only trains going into Paris city center. The TGV trains are Grandes Lignes or Main Line trains which have their own platforms on a separate side of station visible here:

After your TGV train departs, the first stop will be Marne La Vallée–Chessy station which is the train station serving DisneyLand Paris. The travel time should be roughly 10 minutes from CDG to DisneyLand Paris.

Below is a photo of the Marne La Vallée–Chessy train station (on the left) within the Disney grounds.

This is a step-by-step photo guide of taking RER B Paris city trains from Airport Charles de Gaulle Terminal 2 to Paris city centre. From the the CDG arrivals lounge to central Paris, I’ll guide you step-by-step on how to make this transfer. If you’re arriving at Terminal 1, see the CDG Terminal 1 to Paris photo guide.

Arrival at CDG

Upon arrival at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 2 the first thing that will happen after exiting the plane is immigration/passport control, which can be very quick depending on where you are sitting on the plane.  If you’re seated near the front of the plane and are the first to exit, you’ll be the first to go through immigration screening by French national police.  Thus you could be past immigration within 5 minutes (or 40 if you’re the last to exit a large plane).

Next you’ll collect your baggage at the carousels.  Estimate a good 30 minutes for this, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of expediency, perhaps even a little slow.

Customs control for baggage is next, which is separate from passport control and handled by customs officers near the exit of the baggage collection area.  In general the customs officers spot check passengers and only stop those who rouse their curiosity.  After this you’ll exit into an unsecured area of Charles de Gaulle Airport free to make your way to Paris or other cities via train.

If you happen to be arriving via Terminal 2G, the new Schengen (Euro Borderless Zone) terminal, you’ll need to take a shuttle bus to Terminal 2E/F in order to catch the RER train.  The shuttle buses, circulating every 4-5 minutes, can be found just outside the arrivals area of 2G.  [Thanks to Lynne P. for this updated information].

Getting to the Train Station at Terminal 2

The CDG Terminal 2 arrivals hall will look like this:

Notice the blue overhead signs? Those will point to Gare SNCF / Railway Station, Paris par Train / Paris by Train. Follow these signs to make your way to the train station located right within Terminal 2.

Here are some close-up photos of signs pointing to the CDG Terminal 2 train station:

At the end of each of the terminal buildings (there are six sub-terminals at Terminal 2: terminals 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F) will be a large sign noting how long it will take to reach other terminals and the train station. In this photo, we see that the train station at Terminal 2 is 3 to 5 minutes walk from Terminal 2F.

Here is a map of Charles de Gaulle Airport showing the layout of CDG Terminal 2. Also visible are Terminal 3, Terminal 1 (which has its own train station) and CDGVAL shuttle train between CDG’s 3 terminals and parking structures.

(Courtesy of ADP)

The moving sidewalks between Terminal 2’s sub-terminals definitely speed up walking times:

Closer to the train station area you’ll find more signs directing you down to the station.

When you’ve arrived at the train station area, you’ll be on Level 4 of an atrium with a Sheraton hotel on one end, HSBC Bank on the other end and multiple signs pointing to the Gare/Station/Paris by Train.

Another photo of the station atrium taken on Level 3 facing the opposite direction (towards HSBC Bank, one level up). Signage is quite clear on the station location. You may wish to withdraw some Euro cash from the HSBC bank machine (visible at the top right in the below photo).  If your (non-European, non-smart-chip) credit cards don’t work with the automated ticket machines, they won’t work at the SNCF/RATP ticket windows either.  Thus you’ll need Euro cash to buy your tickets.

At the bottom of the atrium, Level 2, the actual station level you’ll have various stores and eateries on one side of the hall and a SNCF ticket purchase office on the other side.  Scattered throughout the middle of the train station are blue or green Billetterie Ile-de-France train ticket vending machines.

The SNCF ticket office is split into two halves, each selling only certain types of train tickets.  When facing the ticket office the left half sells tickets and passes for traveling within Paris and the Ile-de-France area, known as Billets Ile-de-France.

The right half deals with TGV tickets (for sale, collection, refunds and changes) for trains traveling to other cities within France, known as the Grandes Lignes.

If you’re wanting to buy a simple train ticket to Paris and you have a smart chip credit card or Euro coins, you can use the blue Billetterie vending machines to purchase such tickets. (The machines shown in this photo are from Terminal 3, but they are otherwise identical). Note that multi-day passes such as Carte Orange / Pass Navigo or Paris Visite cards are not sold by the machines.  You must visit the ticket office to purchase passes.

Bear in mind that these machines will not work with most North American credit cards, which in general do not have smart chips nor are PIN number protected.

After buying your train tickets or passes it’s time to turn towards the train platforms which will require descending another set of escalators or stairs onto Level 1. The Paris Train platforms are marked as “Voie” (”platform”) 11 and 12 and also show “RER B Paris par Train“, the Regional Express Network trains that operate between Roissy-Charles de Gaulle and Paris city centre.

This is a photo overlooking Paris bound train platforms 11 and 12 at CDG Terminal 2 Station.

On the platform itself you’ll see signs noting that all trains are going to Paris, since Aeroport Charles de Gaulle is the terminus or end-of-line station for the RER B train line.

Note that although the platform sign reads Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV, this platform shown is not the TGV train platform, it’s simply the name of this station as a whole.

The TGV train platforms are located and accessed from the other side of the station.  If you’re taking a TGV train to another city besides Paris, the train platform area should look like the following:

Remember to keep your train ticket with you at all times throughout the journey.  You may be asked by a ticket controller to show a valid fare or otherwise pay a penalty fare of 35€. The tickets are also required to exit the arrival station in Paris as there will be turnstiles protecting the exits, just as they protect entrances.  Finally, your RER train ticket is also good for connections onto the Paris Metro and other RER train lines once you’ve arrived in Paris; There’s no need to purchase a separate Paris Metro/RER Ticket T+ for making connections within the city centre onto other Metro or RER trains (but not buses nor trams, which require a new ticket).

The first Paris city centre station will be Gare du Nord, requiring about 30 minutes for the voyage from Airport CDG Terminal 2.  Paris stations along the RER B line after Gare du Nord will be Chatelet Les Halles, St. Michel-Notre Dame, Luxembourg, Port Royal, Denfert Rochereau and Cité Universitaire.
