Option 1: Taking the RER from Gare du Nord

The RER is a practical choice when you are travelling with manageable luggage and are comfortable navigating a busy transport network. There is no direct RER service, so you normally change at Châtelet–Les Halles.

Typical RER Route

• At Gare du Nord, follow signs for the RER.
• Take the RER B or RER D southbound to Châtelet–Les Halles.
• Change to the RER A in the direction of Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy.
• Check the platform display carefully because not every eastbound RER A train goes to Disneyland Paris.
• Leave the train at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, the terminus beside the Disney Parks and Disney Village.

Allow around one hour, although waiting, walking, disruptions and crowds can affect the total. The main advantage is that Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station is very close to the park entrances. The difficult part is the transfer at Châtelet–Les Halles, especially with suitcases, pushchairs, young children or a large travel party.

Before departure, check live RER information for maintenance, disruptions and the final train destination. Travellers arriving late may also find our guide to late-night transfers to Disneyland Paris useful.

Option 2: Taking a Taxi from Gare du Nord

A taxi offers a direct road journey from Gare du Nord to Disneyland Paris without changing trains.

However, station taxi queues can become busy when several trains arrive close together. A standard taxi may not have enough passenger or luggage capacity for a larger family or group, which could mean using more than one vehicle. Journey time also depends on traffic, roadworks and the exact destination in the Disneyland Paris area.

A taxi may suit a couple or small party with ordinary luggage and a flexible schedule.

Option 3: Booking a Private Transfer

A pre-booked private transfer is often the simplest Gare du Nord to Disneyland Paris option for families and groups. Group Transfer Disney arranges pickup from the agreed station meeting point and provides direct drop-off at Disneyland Paris, a Disney-area hotel, a partner-area hotel, an apartment or another confirmed address.

A private transfer is planned using the passenger count and luggage details supplied in advance, helping organise a suitable vehicle for families, groups and bulky bags. Your party can remain together rather than separating across train carriages or several taxis.

Group Transfer Disney also provides hotel pickup and door-to-door transfers, making it possible to arrange a return journey from your Disneyland Paris accommodation to Gare du Nord, a Paris hotel or another station. Larger parties can review the group transport service and the guide to Disneyland Paris group transfers.

Choose the RER When:
