Car park and free shuttle

[MinnieVanMom]

We have AP with free parking but don't know where the car park is. Is there a map or directions?

Would it be easier to take the shuttle bus from hotel or park the car? We do have a blue badge if that makes any difference at all.

DH just looked up a map and it seems like the parking it past the hotels through DTD. Shuttle bus or train for us.

You just follow the signs to the park, very easy to do. If you show your AP at the ticket booth you go straight through.

If you leave your car at VdE you will have to pay street parking for it or risk getting fined or pay the residence parking fees so I'd be driving.

Are you staying onsite? In which case each hotel has its own car park which are all at least as if not more convenient than the general car park. With a blue badge you can access the disabled car park which is very convenient for the park entrance but to get to it you still need to go through the kiosks at the main car park entrance each day in order to pick up a special code with changes daily. This is despite the natural way to drive to it is down the road with vehicle access to the Cheyenne, HNY and DLH. As you are not allowed to do this (you are unlikely to get past the first barrier at the roundabout just past the DLH and won't have the code to enter the disabled car park anyway) the route from the hotels to the main entrance just to get the code is circuitous to say the least - we clocked it at 8kms!!! It is all sign posted though.

However if you have serious mobility issues getting between a Disney hotel and the park entrance you can request a disabled mini-bus which will come specially to pick you up when you want it. Ask for this at reception (or from the room phone) and for going back to the hotel, ask again at City Hall.

I hope this helps.

Just seen Carrie's post and rereading your own I am assuming you are off-site. As Carrie says it is well signed to the parking where as above you will be able to collect the daily code by showing your AP and blue badge.

We are staying at the Hipark and hoping do either walk/push to the park, take the free shuttle or drive.

I didn't know we had to pay for street parking?

We have always parked at the Disney Village multi storey and didn't know another car park existed! We have annual passes so does anyone know how to get to the entrance of the Disney parking and how to get it free with the AP? Looking on Google Earth, I can't see any ticket barriers before going in but could be looking at the wrong entrance.....

You pay for street parking in nearly all towns in France - Time is often limit to 2 hours also. It's generally free between 19.00 and 8.00 am.

Cost is on the parking meters

When you come off the autoroute and you follow the signs for DLP you see where the roads splits off with the right hand side going to Disney Village/RER and I think hotels and straight on is Disneyland Park.

Follow that one and you get to the ticket/toll booths - show them your AP and it's free if you have a Dream or a Fantasy.

So we should definitely bring our car and park at Disney where it is free.
