Guests planning their travel day to the Grand Magic Hotel and Disneyland Paris have a number of options, and it is a fairly straightforward journey.
Here, we take a look at the popular travel options at Grand Magic hotel - whether you're flying, taking the train, or driving.
Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY)
The closest airport to Grand Magic Hotel is Charles de Gaulle Airport, located about 35 to 40 minutes away by car or shuttle transfer, during usual traffic.
Orly is Paris’ second international airport.
It is more modern and is located around 50 kilometres to the south of Paris, and takes around 45 to 55 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
Like Charles de Gaulle, the airport has easy-to-access transport links to Disneyland Paris.
Whether you’re landing in CDG or Orly, the distances and prices are similar.
Magical Express vs Private transfers
Perhaps the most convenient way to get from the airport terminal to Disneyland Paris is the Magical Express coach transfer.
The Magical Express is Disneyland Paris's official partner for airport transport. It is operated by French public transport company, Transdev, and it links either the Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly airports to the fifteen partner hotels located either at, or very near, Disneyland Paris.
Tickets cost around €24 per adult, and €11 per child, when booking a return - offers are generally available via the Magical Express website, so it's definitely worth checking when preparing your travel plans.
Guests can also book private car transfers via the Magical Express website too, with prices starting at around €117 for a standard sedan (a Volkswagen Passat for example), €149 for a 'van' (like a Mercedes Class V or Volkswagen Caravelle), or if you plan to arrive at Disneyland Paris in style, a limousine can be booked for around €400.
A pre-booked private 'meet + greet' airport transfer is an attractive and convenient option.
Private airport transfers are a popular choice for guests because they add the convenience and reassurance that comes with being met at arrivals, and skipping the queues for the buses and trains.
Booking a 'meet + greet' pick up from the major Paris airports, and depending upon your group size, it can prove to be attractively priced compared to a coach transfer.
Guests flying into Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY) airports can book an airport transfer for around €95 euro for an 'eco saloon' and around €110 for a larger vehicle like an SUV, whereas a luxury vehicle pick-up will be around €350.
Paris Beauvais Airport (BVA)
Ryanair flights land at the Paris Beauvais Airport (BVA), which is as much in Paris, as Luton airport is in London.
BVA, in a town north of Paris, is around an hour and a half away from Disneyland Paris by road.
Most of the usual airport transfer options are available, but the extra travel is something important for guests to factor in when choosing flights.
Ryanair’s typically cheaper seats mean this option is a trade-off, so choices will be guided by guests’ priorities.
Nearest Train Station: Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy
Guests travelling by train will arrive at Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy, which is the station connected directly to the Disneyland Paris Village at the gates of the theme parks.
The station is only a short 10-minute drive from the Grand Magic hotel making it a quick Uber or taxi ride from the station to the hotel.
Guests planning to take the train can buy tickets via French rail ticketing website sncf-connect.

Guests travelling from the United Kindom, via the Eurostar, take the train from London St Pancras and once in France transfer at Lille onto the TGV train to Marne-la Vallée - Chessy.
Eurostar tickets from London to Paris can be booked online via the eurostar website.
