Planning a trip to Disneyland Paris
Getting there -- By far the easiest way to get to the parks from central Paris is by RER A (RATP; www.ratp.fr; 45 min.; 5€ adults, 2.50€ children ages 4–10 one-way). Take it all the way to its terminus at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy (just make sure that this is the terminus—the RER A has multiple destinations). When you get out, you’ll be a 5-minute walk from the entrance.
By car, head east on the A4 and take the Parcs Disney exit. By train, from outside Paris, you could arrive by TGV (the French railway’s high-speed train); see www.oui.sncf. From Paris’s Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly airports, you could also catch the Magic Shuttle (http://magicalshuttle.co.uk; 23€ adults, 10€ children ages 3–10, free for children 2 and under), a direct shuttle to the parks and Disney hotels.
