We will be travelling by train and I would like to book our tickets for the Eiffel Tower online but need to choose a time slot.
We will be going there first and then taking it easy around the city for the rest of the day.
If anyone can give me an idea of how long it should take us to get there, I would really appreciate it.
What station do we get out at?
Also, how frequent are the trains?
Thanks so much,
Cris

There are 2 ways to get to the Eiffel Tower. The first is to take the RER line A (orange) to Auber. From Auber you would have to walk (5minutes) to OPERA-SCRIBE and catch bus number 42 to Tour Eiffel.
The other way is to get the RER line A (orange) to Chatelet-Les Halles. From there you would have to take RER line B (blue) to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame (direction Massy-Palaiseau). From there you take the RER line C (yellow) to Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel (direction Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines). It's a 5 minute walk to the tower.
Either journey would take over an hour.
There's a handy route planner here: http://www.ratp.info/informer/anglais/ The station at Disneyland Paris is: Marne-la-Vallee Chessy - RER

A 3rd option which Ive always done is to get the RER as normal into Paris but get off at Charles de Gaulle Etoile, change onto metro line 6 and go 3 stops to Trocadero. Here you will get the best views of the Tower from above and you can then walk down past the fountains towards it.
Again it will take about 10-15 mins to walk down but give yourself time to admire the views from Trocadero
