Hi,

I would recomend catching the VEA shuttle bus. The bus stops in front of the Hotel Santa Fe so there is no hassle especially if you would be carring alot of bags. I always use these buses on my way back to the airport from the hotel Santa Fe.

Hi bobert

We went last year and used a taxi company called rstransports, at of cost of 70 Euro each way (that%26#39;s the rate for 1 to 4 people). I don%26#39;t think the VEA bus is particularly cheap, so it might be worth your while checking them out . We found them very reliable, they were waiting at the airport for us and the journey took less than half an hour. Definitely the way to take the kids in style!

Hi - having a really bad sense of direction I was quite worried myself that I wouldn%26#39;t be able to find my way. However after picking up baggage just keep going left - there are signs which say %26#39;Disneyland Paris%26#39; and just catch the VEA bus as mentioned in other reply. They come about every 30 mins and cost 13 euros per child and 16 per adult. If you have a large group a taxi may be cheaper. The bus didn%26#39;t drop me off at my hotel (Dream Castle) but at the station (where the parks are). I just got the normal shuttle to the hotel.

On your return journey, leave plenty of time. I thought I had but when the VEA bus left the station it then picked up passengers from 5 other hotels - so we were late to the airport ! The hotel will have an itinerary for the coaches so you may be able to catch the one that picks up from your hotel - I think they are about every 4 hours. This timetable didn%26#39;t suit me as there was one at 8.00 am and the next at about 12.00 - one was too early and other was too late !!!

Anyway the transfer from airport is simple - If I can do it anyone can.

PegasusLondon does that VEA also take you in to Paris City after Disneyland or is it only a direct shuttle to and from CDG, as I was thinking of going to Disneyland 2 nights first then to Paris for 2 weeks.

As noted, the simplest, most straightforward transfer directly from your CDG #3 arrival terminal to the Santa Fe Hotel at DLP will be the VEA Shuttle. VEA uses large motorcoaches with separate, under-coach luggage stowage...so the buses are comfortable and provide a good %26#39;..platform..%26#39; to see what there is to see along the route between airport and DLP.

BUT...if you%26#39;re looking for something %26#39;..different..%26#39; to amuse the kids, you could walk the 150-200 yards from the exits of CDG #3 to the nearby SNCF / TGV train station next door and purchase tickets on a TGV train that will take you from AEROPORT CDG 2 to the MARNE La VALLEE-CHESSY train station at DLP....then take a taxi from there to your hotel nearby.

In real terms, this alternate mode of CDG-DPL transfer probably won%26#39;t be any faster than the VEA shuttle (the train ride is only 10 minutes...and doesn%26#39;t get up to the high-speeds usually associated with TGV...but the trains do look a bit %26#39;..futuristic..%26#39;. and may be a novelty that the kids might enjoy). It%26#39;s also worth noting that the combined train fares (range from 14,90€-to-23,20€ and taxi fare will certainly be MORE than the VEA shuttle fare. If you were to choose this alternative, it would be for the small %26#39;..adventure..%26#39; and possible novelty of the thing....rather than any %26#39;..practical..%26#39; reason.
