Distance from the park to Hotel L'Elysée VdE

How long does it take to get to the park entrance from Hôtel l'Elysée Val d'Europe? Thanks!

On the RER it's one stop from MLV-Chessy and takes 3 minutes, when you come out of the RER the hotel is opposite so you can say 5 minutes in all.

You've also got the free shuttle bus that goes from the parks to the 3 VdE hotels - stops first at HiPark , then the Adagio and last stop is the L'Elysée so this takes under 10 minutes

Or you could walk and there you are looking at around 30 minutes

@Carrie_Cat I will be staying at L'Elysée in two weeks, as an extra night after my onsite hotel package. My plan is to check out in the morning, leave my bags in the luggage store, stay until park closing, collect my bags and then get the free shuttle bus to L'Elysée.
1. Do you know how late the shuttle buses run until?
2. Is the L'Elysée shuttle bus pick up in the same area as the onsite shuttle bus pick up?
3. Would it be a good idea to skip Dreams and get the bus while everyone is watching Dreams to avoid the crush?

1-The Peps N°50 runs until 23h30. Here's the timetable http://www.transdev-idf.com/horaire-ligne-50-pep's_051?tr=1#mainCol

If you were later than that or if you wanted to get back earlier, take the RER for just the one stop - they run every 10-15 minutes until 00.20 and it will take you 3 mins. The hotel is opposite the exit so really pratical

2 - The bus leaves from the stops that are opposite the onsite shuttle buses. It's the stop that shows N°s 24-50-17

3 - I'd always watch Dreams at least once so that's up to you, if you've seen it the other nights you could always skip or or you could watch it and if the bus queue looks chaotic get the train

Just back from DLP and Hotel l'Elysee
Thanks @Carrie_Cat for the route 50 info, very helpful

@sdkraemer
right, the route 50 goes from the train station shuttle bus area. The Val d'Europe buses are on the park side of the horseshoe, the hotel buses are on the train station side of the horseshoe.

The Hotel l'Elysee bus stop is the second from the top, it says the hotel name on the bus stop and on the front of the bus. It takes about 15 minutes and is a free service. I got the bus about 7.30pm and there was only about 5 others on the bus. The park closed at 8pm that night. The hotel is the last stop and it pulls up a few metres before the hotel.

Just some info about the hotel
1. There is some major refurb works going on at the moment on the ground floor/ lobby area. The restaurant is closed but they serve food in the bar area. I arrived around 8pm but they were only serving bar snacks, not full meals.

2. The breakfast is served in a conference room instead of the restaurant. The breakfast was good, the usual cold meats, cheese, fruit, pastries and bread for toasting as well as scrambled eggs, fried potato slices, sausages and bacon. The sausages, like the sausages served in DLP hotels are veal sausages not pork sausages.

3. The hotel is perfect for shopping in the main huge massive mall. The front door of the hotel is directly opposite one of the mall entrances.

4. The hotel is about 7 minutes walk (pulling a suitcase) from the Magic Shuttle drop off pick up point at the bus station

Overall the hotel looked and felt tired and in need of a good refurb. It was clean, but just looked very worn. The corridors just looked like the paint and carpets needed replacing. Just one minor niggle, the lights in the bathroom are motion sensored. I had just done 3 open to close days in the parks and I had Disney Feet. I took a bath to ease my aching feet and the lights went out!! Just as well that I had left the door open or I would have been sat there in the bath in the dark. The first time the lights went out I got such a fright and got out of my lovely warm bath. The second time I was expecting it and had my towel to hand and started waving it about until the lights went back on!
