Explorers Hotel is a Disneyland Paris partner resort, which puts it among the most convenient ‘off-site’ resorts for guests going to the theme parks.
By complimentary shuttle the hotel is just minutes from the parks, but there are other options.
Shuttle to Disneyland Paris
The Explorers Hotel offers a free shuttle service that takes you straight to the heart of Disneyland Paris, including both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park.
This shuttle is a huge plus for families, allowing you to skip the hassle of parking and jump right into the fun.
Shuttles run every 15-20 minutes throughout the day, making it easy to come and go whenever it suits you.
Once onboard a shuttle bus the trip takes about 10 minutes to reach the Disneyland Paris entrance.
The shuttle runs a loop, with pick-ups and drop-offs at a series of other hotels along the way (it calls at Campanile Val de France, Grand Magic Hotel, Dream Castle, Hotel Explorers, and B&B Hotels).
Taking the shuttle is convenient, and popular with most guests, nevertheless, guests wanting a more direct route have other options.
Can You Walk to Disneyland Paris?
While walking to Disneyland Paris from the Explorers Hotel is possible, it’s not necessarily the most convenient option.
The hotel is located about 2.5 kilometres from the parks, which translates to a 30-35 minute walk depending on your pace.
There are safe pedestrian paths leading to the parks, but with little ones in tow, the shuttle is the recommended option.
Uber and/or taxis
For the cost of a few extra euros, guests can get a transfer by car to the parks.
The Dream Castle front desk can arrange a taxi, or, alternatively with the Uber app (or similar services by Bolt or FreeNow) you can book a driver.
It’ll take only a few minutes and typically cost between €5 and €10 per trip.
Taking a car will be a quicker, more flexible and more direct way to travel between Dream Castle and the parks - which makes it an attractive choice, especially during peak times.
Cost of Transportation
The shuttle service from the Explorers Hotel is completely free for hotel guests, making it a budget-friendly and family-oriented option.
If you opt for a taxi or rideshare, expect a small fare for the short trip to the parks.
With its free shuttle and close proximity to Disneyland Paris, Explorers Hotel makes it easy to enjoy every minute of your park experience.
Safe travels, and have a magical time!
