Train from airport and luggage

[conniehar90]

We had planned on taking the TVR to DLP from CDG. I keep reading comments that you shouldn't do this if you have luggage. Is this really a big issue? I can't imagine a lot of people arriving at the airport without luggage - why would they have a stop at the airport, if it's a problem to have luggage? Thanks!

What a weird piece of advice. I have never seen or encountered issues. The trains that go from the airport to Disneyland Paris often continue to the south, long distance travel. So there are always loads of people with luggage.

Its probably from Americans who are not used to hauling their own luggage on public transport. Amtrak has a checked luggage car, like at airports and there are luggage porters and buggys to help people on and off the trains and with luggage.

Is it a far walk from the arrival gates at CDG to the train? We are flying in from Berlin, will only have carryons. We are fine with stairs and luggage as in many European train stations. Just trying to see which is faster: walking to train and short train ride versus walking to shuttle pick up and longer shuttle ride?

The trouble is that CDG is a very long airport (or at least Terminal 2 is, but most flights arrive there to be honest). There are some gates that are much further away from the station than others despite technically being in the same terminal.




For example, to get from the middle of Terminal 2B to the station, I'd say was 10-15 minutes walk. But from a gate at the far end, add on another 5-10 to that. The far end of Terminal 2E's K gates I'd say was 15-20 minutes, but if you're in the L or M gates in the satellite buildings, then you've got to take the shuttle, so I'd allow 25-30 minutes in total.

You might however get lucky and end up with a gate that's only 5 minutes walk or less of course.

Thank you for this! Where would we meet a pre-arranged private shuttle? How far of a walk is that comparatively? I am starting to think we may just do the shuttle. There are 4 of us, so maybe the cost is not terrible compared to the train.
