Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to drive from Paris to Disneyland?

Disneyland Paris is about 43 km east of central Paris, in Marne-la-Vallée. By car the trip takes around 35 to 50 minutes on the A4 motorway, and longer during weekday rush hours. A private driver from Paris to Disneyland picks you up at your door, so you can time your arrival for park opening.

Is a car better than the RER A train to Disneyland?

For families, usually yes. The RER A is cheap, at about €2.55 per adult with the Metro-Train-RER ticket, but trains are often crowded, and you may stand the whole way with strollers and bags. A private Disneyland Paris transfer takes you from your hotel to the park with no changes and no stairs.

How much does a private transfer from Paris to Disneyland cost?

A Luxberri transfer from central Paris to Disneyland typically costs €120 to €180, depending on the vehicle. The price is fixed when you book and applies per vehicle, not per person. For a family of four or more, it is often close to the combined cost of shuttle tickets. You can reserve now with book now, pay later.

Are child seats included on a Disneyland transfer?

Yes. Child seats and boosters are free on Luxberri Disneyland transfers, and there’s room for strollers and park bags. Tell us your children’s ages when you book so the right seats are installed before pickup. See our Disneyland Paris chauffeur service for details.

Where does the chauffeur drop you off at Disneyland Paris?

Your chauffeur drops you at your Disney hotel entrance or close to the park entrance near Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station. You skip the visitor car park, the parking fee, and the long walk from the parking rows. This makes a big difference with young children at 9 in the morning.

Can a driver pick us up after the fireworks?

Yes, and this is when a pre-booked car helps most. When the parks close, thousands of visitors leave at once, so the RER A fills up and Uber prices rise. Book a private driver from Disneyland back to Paris and your chauffeur will be waiting at the agreed time, even late at night.

How do we get from CDG airport to Disneyland Paris?

CDG is about 25 to 40 minutes from Disneyland by road, so you can skip central Paris entirely. A private transfer from CDG to Disneyland meets you in arrivals and drives straight to your hotel. For a limited time, see our CDG to Disneyland Halloween transfer deal.

Can we travel to Disneyland from Orly or Gare du Nord?

Yes. Orly is on the opposite side of Paris, so a direct car avoids two train changes with luggage. Book a private transfer from Orly to Disneyland, or arrive by Eurostar and continue with a Gare du Nord to Disneyland transfer.

What vehicle is best for a family trip to Disneyland?

For two adults and one or two children, an executive sedan is enough. Larger families or groups of up to seven travel together in our Mercedes V-Class van, which has room for suitcases, strollers, and souvenirs from the parks.

Is a taxi from Paris to Disneyland a fixed price?

No. The Paris taxi flat fares only cover trips between Paris and the airports. Disneyland is outside the city, so the meter runs and the price depends on traffic. A pre-booked private transfer gives you a fixed price in advance. Our guide to private driver costs explains how it compares.
