Transport options and costs for Disneyland® Paris
Are you considering the best way to get to Disneyland® Paris? Discover the many transport options and guide prices below.
Choose between driving, flying, Eurostar, or coach. Each have their own benefits or limitations, but with a range of options to suit different needs joining the magic has never been easier!
Self Drive
With Disneyland® Paris just a 3-hour drive from Calais, a great option for added convenience is to make the journey in the comfort of your own car and take in some of the glorious French countryside en route. There are so many benefits to driving, we’re not surprised that it’s a favourite choice for families of all ages.
Here are our ferry and Eurotunnel options:
Ferry
P&O Ferry from Dover to Calais (takes around 90 minutes) is the cheapest way to cross the Channel (especially when our free ferry offers are running). Crossings usually cost around £100 for a return.
There are plenty of distractions onboard for both adults and children. Kids can watch on-board videos or burn off excess energy in the play area, and grown-ups can make the most of the reduced high street shopping prices in one of the well-stocked shops! Two operators – DFDS and P&O Ferries – offer 15 – 20+ crossings a day, along with a night service.
Le Shuttle
(Also known as Eurotunnel) from Folkestone to Calais (takes around 35 minutes). Slightly more expensive than a ferry crossing but is the quicker option. This usually adds around £50-£60 each way compared to ferry.
You’ll go through British and French customs before you board then drive onto the train and relax in the comfort of your own car for the 35-minute journey. There are up to 4 shuttles per hour at peak times, or you can opt to make the crossing at night.
Make sure you tell us if you are travelling in a larger vehicle like a van/motorhome or if you are taking a roofbox or trailer etc, so we book you in a larger vehicle space!

Eurostar
A simple, smart, and speedy option is the Eurostar. Prices range from £200 – £300 per person for a return. Takes around 3 – 4 hours in total each way including the change of trains.
Departs from London St. Pancras International, and travels to Disneyland® Paris via Lille Europe where there’s a quick and simple change of train and platform to travel on the French High Speed Rail Service (SNCF) between Lille and Disneyland® Paris. Disney does have allocation on certain trains in advance before they go on general sale with Eurostar.
Prices include 1x Suitcase per person.
Add Disney Express Luggage for £18pp and when you arrive at Disneyland® Paris Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station, go straight to the Disney Express counter on the first floor to drop off your luggage and receive your advance hotel check-in documents (including your Park Tickets). You can then head straight to the Parks, while your luggage is taken safely to your hotel. When it’s time to say goodbye, simply drop-off your luggage at your Hotel’s Concierge Desk before 11:00 am and it will be transferred directly to the station, so you can spend the whole day exploring the Disney Parks. You will need to pick your luggage up from the Disney Express counter in the station at least 40 minutes prior to your train’s departure.
Please note, children under 4 do not get a seat and sit on their parent’s lap – if you’d like to add a seat for any child under 4, please let us know so we can price for this.

Adagio Marne-La-Vallée Val d’Europe, B&B Hotel at Disneyland Paris, Hôtel l’Elysée Val d’Europe, Staycity Aparthotels Paris, Marne-La-Vallée, Campanile Val De France, Explorers Fabulous Hotels Group.
Off-site hotels are available with Eurostar and flights as a package (more airlines and departures routes are available with these) and we can also book Ferry and Le Shuttle for you, but this will be separate to the hotel bookings. And we can include Park Tickets for your preferred duration (between 1 – 4 days).
