CDG - Eiffel Tower - DLP RER ticket question

[gbaz44]

As title suggests we are flying into CDG and are intending to go up Eiffel Tower and then travel on to DLP. Arriving CDG lunchtime on 17th August (Saturday).

My question is about the RER ticket - can we buy a ticket at CDG with destination of DLP and then stow luggage at Gare du Nord, go to Eiffel Tower and then back to Gare du Nord before travelling on to DLP.

Or do we need tickets for each part? CDG to Gare du Nord - Gare du Nord to Eiffel (return) - then Gare du Nord to DLP.

Or get a day ticket?

It's been about 12 years since we were at DLP as we've been to WDW 3 times in between - pretty sure I'm still paying part of last Florida trip on a credit card. We're just planning on Eiffel Tower as someone in party wants to try and get to La Vallee Village in evening if possible - I've said this will depend on queue for the Tower, couldn't prebook so will need to get tickets there.

Any other suggestions for route? I looked at TGV to DLP first and back into Paris on RER but any flight delay and we'd miss the reasonably priced TGV.

I think this is the page for you: https://www.ratp.fr/en/titres-et-tarifs/ticket-aeroport-cdg

I am not 100% sure, but Paris subway (RER) is divided in 5 zones. City center is zone 1 and the further you get out of the city the more zones you travel through. Both CDG and Disneyland Paris are in zone 5. I think it is possible to buy one 5-zone ticket travel from CDG-Paris-DLP.

I’m not as knowledgeable on the Paris train system but why not get the tvg to DLP, store your bags the. Take the RER A. You might have to also take the metro

What is requested would require a aeroport ticket (11.80 euros normally one way, outside of the olympics period) and then a paris to Marne la vallee-chessy ticket after. As it is the olympics right now, the one day unlimited Navigo ticket is not offered.

One way from Paris to Marne-La-Vallee is only 6 euros right due to the olympics surcharge (normally 5 euros).

Luggage storage in Paris will be a challenge though. Gare du Nord for storage is an option as Eiffel Tower has no storage themselves and I looked online and only saw this company with nearby lockers: https://www.citylocker.paris/fr/consignes-bagages-paris/5-consigne-tour-eiffel.html

Never used them and never heard of them until now, so no idea how good they are. Do keep in mind that returning to Gare du Nord to pick up your bags and then heading to DLP will require a transfer I don't like in Chatelet-Les-Halles. It is crowded and depending on where you're arriving from and where you're going, you may need to muscle your bags up and down stairs to switch platforms.

Not a fun option for me. The TGV timing never work for me coming from Canada. The DLP bag storage is within the security bubble, so need to put it into the x ray machine. Then, you have a 50 minutes ride on the RER A and transfers to get to the Eiffel Tower.

This is what I would have done but as I said any delay and we miss the reasonably priced TGV, the next ones were a lot more expensive. Still need return RER ticket back into Paris after that too.

If I was sure the flight would be on time then I'd have gone for TGV.
