DLP Transportation To/From Questions

[aimlyss]

My daughter and I will be spending one day at DLP and I'm trying to figure out transportation to/from, we would like to arrive at DLP early in the morning. We fly out the next day to go home. My questions are:

1) What is the best way to get from our hotel in Paris (very near the Louvre) to DLP? Train, Uber, Lyft, Taxi? If a train, would you be so kind as to give me an idea of how far it would be from the Louvre, would it be safe to walk?

2) I'm going to assume the latest park closing is at 11pm (the calendar is only updated to a bit over a week before we'll be there) and wonder if we stay onsite (Hotel Cheyenne or Sequoia Lodge), what is the best way to be at CDG for a 10:30am international flight. The earliest TGV train appears to leave at 7:52am, arrives 8:02am, that doesn't give the recommended 3 hours prior to arrival window.

3) Or should we go straight to an airport hotel (Sheraton right at the terminal) when the park closes and if we do this, what is the best way to get there as it appears the last train leaves at 8:54pm and we'd like to stay until park close. We thought it would be fun to stay at a Disneyland hotel, but would really only be there for a few hours of sleep. We also have our luggage that we'd have to put somewhere while we're in the parks, so that's another reason for the onsite hotel.

Thank you for any and all suggestions, they're much appreciated!

1. About an hour.
I would always go by train, because traffic is brutal and won't save you that much time. You are in the heart of the tourist area. There are people out all hours of the day.

2. Take a car service
There are several threads at the moment about car services. Do keep in mind you will be travelling during rush hour.
There is also a bus, but you would have to look up when the first buses go.

3. See above
There is a baggage storage at both parks where you can leave your bags against payment.

@Karin1984 Thank you! Any tips on the train from Paris to DLP? Our hotel is near the Louvre, how do we find which train to take and will we be fine with luggage? If it's rush hour, I would think that may be difficult.

You find the train by using Googlemaps. It's reliable to find your nearest station and which train to take. It's called a train, but it's is the underground. With some above ground bits

My bad, I am so used to use public transport and used to walking everywhere, I do not think about taking luggage. Plus I travel with one suitcase and a backpack at most.
Yes, it's not the most convenient way to walk, it's nicer to have your hands free. But there are always escalators and elevators at stations as they need to be prepared for wheelchair users.

What I would advise is to maybe walk a bit further and get on at station Chatelet Les Halles, as then you do not need to transfer.
Chatelet is 10 minutes from the Louvre and has direct trains to DLP.

You would be better of taking the subway 14 or 1 to Gare de Lyon. Then the RER A from Gare de Lyon to DLP (I avoid châtelet with luggage, I find the connexion Gare de Lyon is easier and you would have less walking).

Thank you @Karin1984 for more information and @mikalkwin for your input as well! I live where there is virtually no public transportation so I'm not super familiar with using it. Since I posted my original question, I've changed our reservation to two nights at Disneyland Paris, this way we don't have to rush the morning of our one day in the parks. I figure we can roam around the shops and have a nice dinner the extra evening.
