travelling via paris

[daisydoo]

hi everyone,
not been here for a while, but have decided to go to disneyland for my (40) birthday in june.

when we have been before we have always used disney express, really easy and convenient, however this time we are using plain old eurostar and going to paris, and then to disneyland.

im really nervous about doing this. we have early train, so leave ashford at 7.25, getting to paris at 10.20, i think. is there any possibility i could get myself lost or is it all sign posted and user friendly?!

also when we get to the parks is it better to find somewhere to leave our luggage, or would it be better to go straight to our hotel, santa fe, and drop it off and then come back. what time can we actually check in to hotel?

also, and finally, has anyone been in june that can tell me what queues are like.im hoping for fairly quiet as its 2nd week of june, so dont think there are any school holidays, but i may be wrong!

It's been a while since I did it like that, but from what I remember, when you arrive at Gare du Nord you need to take the Red "A" line East (Est) to Marne la Vallee Chessy / Disneyland Resort Paris. It takes about 40mins and is pretty straight forward.
I would suggest leaving luggage at hotel first

Hiya, we did that last week and it was ok. You need to change trains once - can either be done at Chatelet Les Halles or Gare de Lyon - personally I found Gare de Lyon much easier & quicker (see my post here).

What we did was print off the map from here - http://www.ratp.info/touristes/index.php?langue=en - and learnt the route beforehand, so that we wouldn't have to keep looking at the map once we were at the station.

We didn't get lost, everything's very well sign-posted.

And yep, I would also head straight to the hotel to leave luggage, get passes etc.

Have never been in June but I wouldn't imagine it would be very busy? Don't think the French are on hols then either.

Have fun.

On the crowds situ, it can be quite busy in June, but I'm sure you will be fine
