Cheaper TGV travel from CDG to Disney?

Options
Does anyone know if theres a cheaper way for 2 "youths" to get from CDG Airport to Disney and back?

Just done a check online and for the times we want it comes to a total of £76 for the 2 of us.

Can you get railcards, or use your english railcard etc to lower the price?

    You cant use your uk railcard for services in France or anywhere else. Where did you look to book ? on what dates?

    Ive just had a look for tomorrow and got it down to £60 for the pair of you http://www.raileurope.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=39 going around 730 returning 1830

    it would cost 36 euros return each on the VEA coach, so thats a little cheaper. It depends if the VEA timetable suits your flight landing times though.

    You could take the VEA on whichever leg of your journey is the most expensive by TGV, then book the TGV for the cheaper journey? ie if you are peak travel on the TGV on the journey from CDG to DLP, take the VEA for that journey (same price all the time on the VEA) at 18 euros each. Then if the TGV is an offpeak price for your return from DLP to CDG, book the TGV for that journey only.

    Or you could get the RER into Paris, then the Metro and the RER to DLP.

    That would be tons cheaper, but would obviously take alot longer.

    We would arrive at CDG at around 10am Saturday 9th and our flight back is at 10pm Thurs 14th.

    There are 2 of us with suitcases and the price for the RER is £30 each, so for convenience £8 is probably worth it.

    Just wondering if there's a cheaper way to go via TGV. Discounts etc

    No, we're staying at the Ibis near the Val d'Europe
