So thats hotel & tickets covered. Next question.....has anyone else used the express train service from CDG to the park? Is it really only 10 minutes??

oh yes, now you're talking :j - I love the TGV between CDG and DLP, and wouldn't use any other form of transport if I can help it. It really is 10 minutes journey. Book your tickets (rail europe, sncf websites) for one hour or so after your plane is due to land at CDG on your outward journey, and book for about 2 hours before you are due to take off on your return.

usually on rail europe you can book your tickets about 3 months in advance, but you'll be fine leaving it until about a fortnight to go if you like - the tickets are sent to your home first class (they usually arrive the day after I've booked them).

Is it easy to find the station? We're flying with Easyjet in to Terminal 2B. Where is the station in relation to that? I have caught the train previously but the terminal I flew in to was right next to the station. We didn't catch the TGV though, we had to change at Châtelet-les-Halles to get to Disney. From when I last looked, it seems that they don't run late enough on the Sunday for us (our flight home is at 21:55) to use it on our return so i'll need to look into something else for that I think. Are you restricted to the time you book? What if your outbound flight is delayed?

Its very easy from terminal 2B - a straight walk for about 15 minutes following the signs for sncf (little train picture).
If it helps, we fly with Easyjet into terminal 2B, and even with luggage to collect, and our plane touching down about 15 minutes late last time, we still made an 11am TGV with time to spare when we touched down at 10.25am.
For a couple of extra pounds you can book a flexible ticket on the TGV, which allows you to change to a more suitable time (the booking conditions are clearly explained if you do a dummy booking on the rail europe site).

Is there a suitable VEA shuttle you could hop on Sunday evening (you could get on it at the Disneyland Hotel)? other than that, I guess it would be a shared shuttle from the Disneyland Hotel to CDG - rstransport did a shared shuttle price last time I used them (and we didn't have to share with anyone ).

babyfruitella

Yeah, we can get the VEA, which we've also used previously. Having looked for the end of June, there's a train at 18:38. Hopefully that will be running in September as although we'd be at the terminal about 2.5 hours before our flight, I think i'd rather that than sit on a coach with a shattered 2 year old for an hour really.

I think we must have taken very similar flights to you last time we went to DLP with Easyjet - we were also early on our return to the airport and had tea at McDonalds in the terminal building.

babyfruitella

Yeah, we'll probably do that to. From the fact you've said "tea" as your evening meal, i'm guessing you're a northener too, so i'm going to hazard a guess that you flew from Liverpool?

ah good guess - we flew from Luton, I live in the East Mids, but I'm from Scotland.

babyfruitella

Ah not even close then! Lol! Although Scotland IS north

With reference to the lockers in DLP - there no lockers any more. These were closed after a few years due to Government security measures, and have never re opened.

babyfruitella

Oh thats a shame. Are there none in the station either?
