Transportation Help Please

[JJ2017]

I am trying to get this all straight in my head as we will be coming from London straight to DLP. Then to Paris. Each of us will have one rolling carry on and one backpack.

Eurostar from St. Pancras to Disneyland with a transfer in Lille
Question: what train line are we taking from Lille to Disneyland (is this just a walk across a platform kind of transfer? and we can have our suitcases?)

Disneyland to Paris
I have to explore all the options. Can someone please confirm which train allows you to take your suitcases on? Our hotel in Paris is near the Villiers Metro Stop which is the 2/3 line.

I am not totally sure I am even asking the right questions!

Thank you!

I haven't been there yet myself but I just watched Adam Hattan's vlog the other day and part 1 is the Eurostar trek

Lille is a fairly big station so you probably need to go up to the main concourse and watch the screens for platform announcement for the next stration. Also double check that your second train is going from Lille Europe (where the Eurostar comes in) and not Lille Flanders. The second is not an issue as its just a 10 minute walk away but best to check.

From DLP you'll need to get the RER into the centre of Paris. You'll have no issue taking luggage on this - I'm not aware of any restrictions anyway and have always taken a small rolling suitcase.

European trains aren't like the long-distance American ones where you have to "check-in" your luggage and don't see it again until you reach your destination. You either keep it with you or if it's particularly big and cumbersome, you can put it on a set of shelves that will be in an area near the doors at the end of each carriage. And for the RER from the parks back to Paris, there won't be a luggage area as it's a metro/subway/light rail type system like you see in many cities - but there's no restrictions on bags either.

To get to Villiers, take any "A" line RER service from Marne-la-Vallee and then I'd change at Charles de Gaulle Etoile to the Metro "2" line. You can also get off at Auber, then transfer to Opera on the "3" line, which strictly speaking is a shorter distance, but the transfer between the two lines there might be a bit more of a hassle with luggage, so using the "2" line is probably more straightforward.

Super helpful - thank you! I was studying the route maps and was curious if the 2 or 3 was better. Thanks for the tip!
