Hi All,

Been lurking for a few days getting some great tips and generally getting excited (booked a few days ago)

So my question is this...I'm getting the Eurostar into Paris and I was going to take a stroll aroud the LOuvre, however the day we arrive it's closed, so we've decided to head straight to Disney.

Can anybody give me a fools guide to getting there please? ::)

Do I need to get more then one train? What are the prices?

We are 2 adults, 2 children and a toddler...Would it be easier to just get a private shuttle (quoted £140 return) If it wasn't loads cheaper to get the RER should I go this way?

We have to be at Gare du Nord at around 9am on our departure.

Please help I just can't find to seem a straight forward answer.

Thanks in advance  ;D

You'll be arriving in Gare Du Nord, from there you'll need to take the underground to "Chatelet-Les Halles", and there you can transfer to the RER heading to Marne-La-Vallée. :)

The underground section of Gare du Nord is a bit daunting, the rest will be a breeze.

Change the date and time as needed to get a more accurate idea, but this should be your general route. :)

As for calculating the cost, the tarif page appears to have a bit of a redirect loop going on. :(

Shouldn't be too expensive though, nowhere near the cost of that private shuttle service.
As for getting to Gare Du Nord around 9 am, if you take the RER departing at 7:45 from Marne-La-Vallée you'll be at Gare Du Nord around 8:39, you can also take one train earlier, departing at 7:05, and then you'll be at Gare Du Nord at around 8:00.

Thanks for the replies, seems so much easier to have it explained to me rather than trying to work out different websites...I worry about myself at times haha  ;D

One more quick question (for now  ;D)

Does the E7.50 cover the underground journey too, so I but just one ticket each?

Thanks x

DisneyRon

It covers a trip from Zone 1 to Zone 5 regardless of how your route goes, so that includes the underground part. :)

As DisneyRon said, you can take the underground line and then the RER with one ticket. I did this a few weeksago, its quiet simple  ;)
