We are are travelling via Easyjet from Belfast to Charles de Gaulle on Fri night and our flight arrives in at terminal 3 at 9:25 pm. Ive just checked and the last VEA bus to DLP is at 10:00. I am very worried we will not make this. Ive checked and fast train (cant remember name) will have stopped for night. I really really really don't want to take taxi or limo. Did this past two years and feared for our lives both times....absolutely crazy drivers does not make a good start to your holiday!!! I am wondering if flight is on time might we make the last bus also if flights are delayed does bus wait???...probably not! Anyone have any advice/words of wisdom? 3 more days til our trip...2 nights in dream castle and days spent in Paris followed by 5nights and 6 days in the DLH Yippeeee

Hi don't know the answer to your question but just to give you a heads up easyjet changed the terminal they operate from at CDG to terminal 2B - you will arrive and leave from here and not terminal 3.

There might be more vea shuttles from terminal 2?

How many are in your party? You might like to try either a private or shared shuttle - there are loads of these and they can be booked online before you go, price is usually per person and works out cheaper the more people are in your party.
Basically its a minibus service, they will greet you with a name card at your terminal much like a taxi/limo but nowhere near as expensive and I believe the private shuttles will wait if your flight is delayed (not so sure about the shared shuttle)
Might be a good option considering the time you arrive?

The bus wont wait for you I am afraid - if you have hand luggage only you may make the bus. My preference would be to pre book a private shuttle so you know it will be there. We ended up in the same situation - missed the last bus and it was late so we couldnt even find a taxi.

Hope this helps

Oh dear, now I am very worried!!! I really don't want to book anything private as anytime we have done so in the past (several times) I have quite literally feared for my life. This past year both my children were in tears when we arrived due to the unsafe and erratic driving despite me asking/shouting on several occasions 'trop lentements s'il vous plaits' (slow down!) I feel sick now just thinking about this!

OK deep breath...anyone know any names of these private shuttles? TIA xx

As far as I know you can transfer to DLRP by the RER not just the TGV (which you said correctly, stops running at 21.55).

I believe you have to change trains at Chatelet-Les Halles which brings you to Marne La Vallee (Disney).

If you take a look at:

(I hope that link works)

You can look at timetables on www.ratp.fr (just select the language flag at the top right)

I hope this helps.

There are lots of links in the Very Useful Info sticky under traveling by plane
BS/RS Transport come highly recommended by many on this board

I did this for our last trip - it takes a while but is very easy (and cheap!) when you change platforms they are next to each other you dont need to go up and down stairs or anything

Hi Nicola,

The link below is again from www.easycdg.com, it gives more info on the RER that we were PM'ing about. Basically RER line B to Chatelet les Halles, then RER line A to Marne La Vallee.

Good Luck!!
