Eurostar from Disneyland Paris to London

[Canadave]

This has been frustrating. We are flying into Paris for our Disney trip, then afterwards, taking the Eurostar to London. There is a ton of info about the train from London to DLP, but finding info on the reverse trip is like pulling teeth. My question is: how do we find out when the Eurostar leaves from the park to London? Does it leave from there every trip or only once a day (or less)? We would really prefer the direct train, as opposed to going to Paris Gare du Nord first.

At the moment there is only one direct train a day from DLP to London and even then that does NOT run every day (I think it’s Sun, Mon, Wed and Fri). On the days it does run it leaves DLP at about 18:00 and arrives 19:30 (local times - remembering that there is a one hour time difference).

Note also that even this will stop in June - there are no direct trains after that date for the foreseeable future. They may bring them back but there is no confirmed date.

However there are about 5-7 indirect trains a day that go via Lille station and that is still fairly convenient - only takes about 40-60 minutes longer typically. You get on a standard French TGV service from DLP to Lille and then change to the Eurostar there - you don’t need to go via Paris.

Thank you. I heard about them (possibly temporarily) cancelling the direct train in June. We're going in April. But it sounds like the best plan is to just 'assume' that there will be no direct train and make the appropriate plan!

It's worth noting that Eurostar do still sell the through tickets; you don't have to buy the two legs separately. If you go to the Eurostar website and do a search for Disneyland Paris to London, it'll give you a timetable for what trains you can use that day and virtually all will say "1 change", so you can quickly see how much longer it will take over the direct version.

I would recommend checking out eurostar.com. We are taking the direct train from Disneyland Paris to London on April 5, 2023 (originally booked April 6th but plans changed). It looks like there is a direct train every day of the week - at least at the beginning of April. Time is the same everyday: depart Disneyland 18:03 - arrive London 19:46.

Yes, 18:03 seems to be the only option.

Yes, 18:03 seems to be the only option.

When they run the direct train, its only once a day
