I know all about the VEA shuttles, but I would like to know about any other options.

Can you take the TGV directly to DLP, or do you have to go via Paris?

Taking a taxi would be quite a cost effective option, but will they take a small child if we can't provide a car seat? Also there will be 5 of us in total, plus all our luggage, so I actually doubt if we could get a taxi big enough!

Does anyone have any experience of these methods of transport to DLP?
 
There are basically four ways to get to DLP from CDG. Here are some excerpts from a certain forthcoming book I happen to know about ( ;) ):

The VEA Navette shuttle offers a direct service from CDG (all terminals) to the hotels of Disneyland Resort Paris from 8.30am-7.45pm daily (until 10pm Fridays and Sundays). It is a fairly plodding coach service, taking a good 45 minutes to reach the first stop, but it does have the great benefit of being door to door as far as the hotels are concerned and runs at 20-40-minute intervals throughout the main part of the day. It costs €14 for adults and €11.50 for children 3-11 (under 3s free). To phone the VEA service in advance, call 33 1 64 30 66 56. Using CDG2, from Halls 2A and 2C, head to Gate A11/C1 to pick up the shuttle; at Hall 2B and 2D, go to Gate D12; and at Hall 2F, look for Gate 0.05.

Alternatively, you can take the RER service on Line B all the way in to Châtelet les Halles (about 40 minutes), then change there for Line D to Marne-la-Vallée (another 35-40). It is a simple enough route at off-peak times, but much harder to negotiate with luggage in the morning or evening rush-hour.

There is another alternative of a direct TGV train link from the airport to Marne-la-Vallée, which can work out slightly cheaper than the VEA shuttle (although the services are fewer). There are 10 trains between 6.51 and 11.19 in the morning, then basically one an hour from 1-6pm, and another 12 up to 9.34pm. At off-peak times, the ticket is €12.90 one way, but it rises to €19.90 at peak times. The big benefit, though, is it takes just 15 minutes, and you can walk out of the station to pick up the shuttle bus to any Disney hotel right outside. For the return journey to the airport, there are 13 services between 8.12am and 12.45pm, then another 12 from 3.01-10.16pm. (Be warned – if you miss the Charles De Gaulle stop, you will end up in Lille or even Brussels!).

You can also get taxis outside all the terminals, although it will cost around €40 one way to any Disney hotel.
 
Thanks for all the info Simon - very detailed.

Ooh, how exciting - a new book on DLP. I wonder if it will be any good. ;) :teeth:
 

Our friends are going to DLP in December and I reccomended to them your book.

I thought it was out already!, do you have a date set yet Simon?

Also, they were wondering what order the VEA shuttle dropped off at the hotels, which hotel is first and which one is last?

Thanks

Richard.
 
Richard,

our shuttle started at the Newport Bay, then went to the Santa Fe and the Cheyenne, we got off there, but I would suspect it did the Sequioa, Hotel New York and finished at the Disneyland since that's how they are arranged around the Lake.

Bev is spot on with her hotel order.

And I'm afraid the DLP book won't be out until late February at the earliest; more likely in March. We are only at the First proofs stage at the moment, a couple of weeks behind schedule :(
