Paris Beauvais airport to disneyland paris

I am taking my fiance to disneyland paris for his 30th in July, cos he's a big kid and the only direct flights I could get from glasgow/prestwick were to paris beauvais with ryan air. I am just looking to find out the best way for us to get to disneyland paris from there, so I can be prepared! can anyone offer me any advice on this?

    I drove from Beauvais into Paris and it is a reasonable distance and the wrong side of Paris for Disneyland. Coach or taxi to link up with the Paris transport system I would think, though this is not an expert opinion! I am not sure of the train links.

    Beauvais is quite far from Paris but they do have coach shuttles available which take you in the centre, you will then have to take the tube and then the train to disneyland. Although they might have direct coaches...I'm sure that if you phone the Beauvais airport they will let you know.

    beauvais is kind of in the middle of no where. unless you are planning to hire a car I would take the ryanair bus in to paris and make your way from there. The bus waits after every flight, you buy ticket from driver and it drops you off at palais des congres. takes about an hour or so depending on the traffic. I think it was 10 euros each way...

    Hi

    According to this site you need to book the coach in advance
    http://www.aeroportbeauvais.com/
    This will take you to Porte Maillot in Paris, then take metro line 1 to Chatelet and RER line A to Marne la Vallee - Chessy which is next to Disney.

    Have fun!

    We just got back from Paris last week and also flew from Prestwick to Beauvais arriving at 10.30pm. Made various enquiries before we went and opted to hire a car. We booked this through ebookers.com and had the car for 3 days for £57 incl insurance and the Hertz office was right at the door of the airport. The drive to Disneyland should take about 1.5 hours but took us 2 hours - would advise you to study the map before leaving as its quite tricky in the dark!! Have a great time.........

    How long would the "Non-Driving" option take guys?? I too want to go straight from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris. We arrive at 9.15am, is it worth-while going to Disneyland if we dont get there till 12am? What time does the park shut? & how lond does it take to get back to the centre of paris at night????

    The bus to Porte Maillot costs 13 euros and takes about an hour. You buy tickets at the airport and you have the option of buying returns:

    You can buy transport/Disneyland tickets at this site:

    I don't know how long it takes from Porte Maillot to Disneyland but the metro is frequent and quick.
