Holy Smokes am I ever confused.. how to get to Disney..help!

Hi hi!







I feel reallllly stupid right now..!





Bear with me here, I%26#39;ve done my search and read up on it but I%26#39;m still as confused as ever!!!!! when I read all the intructions my brain just boggles!!





Can someone give me a step by step instruction on how to get to Disneyland from BVA please?





or another method if I was just in the center on Paris...









Thank you!

To reach Disney from anywhere in Paris, connect from any Métro station to the RER A. Take RER A to Marne-la-Vallée.





Tickets are 6.45€ each way.





You may be having trouble with BVA to Disney because BVA is not in Paris. You have two options:





1. Shuttle:

About 140€ for 4



En route time approx 1+45





2. Bus to Paris: 13€



Then RER A to Marne-la-Vallée: 6.45€





This option will take almost 3 hours.

oooh ^ thanks!!







Its only for 1 passenger, I%26#39;m a lone disney ranger. I wonder if it would still be 140 Euro for one person...

1.) BVA Shuttle from its pick-up point just outside of your BVA arrival terminal building...to it%26#39;s one and only stop along Blvd. Général Pershing in Paris (near Place de la Porte Maillot.





2.) from the BVA shuttle stop, down Blvd. Général Pershing (to your Right as you face the large hotel/convention center compex across the avenue) walk down to Place da la Porte Maillot. What you will be looking for here are entrances to the PORTE MAILLOT METRO station.





3.)Enter the PORTE MAILLOT Metro station and purchase a separate Ticket to MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY RER station (one-way fare: 6,45€). Use a manned ticket booth at the station.





4.) Take the #1 METRO ligne (heading in the direction of Chàteau de Vincennes) to either CHARLES DEGAULLE-ÉTOILE Metro (2 quick stops..hardly worth sitting down) or farther along the #1 ligne to GARE de LYON. (I recommend Charles deGaulle-Étoile Metro as getting %26#39;on your way%26#39; and %26#39;settled%26#39; via RER %26#39;A-4%26#39; ligne train quicker...Gare de Lyon is still an option...but either station will serve your purpose).





5.) At either CHARLES DEGAULLE-ÉTOILE or GARE de LYON Metro stations, change lignes/trains over to the RER %26#39;A-4%26#39; ligne (any %26#39;A%26#39; train heading in the direction of Marne La Vallée-Chessy-Parc Disney..and train with a four letter, %26#39;..Qxxx..%26#39; designation).





6.) Take the RER %26#39;A-4%26#39; ligne/%26#39;Qxxx%26#39; train all the way to the end-of-the-ligne at MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY RER station. The RER %26#39;A-4%26#39; ligne/%26#39;Qxxx%26#39; ride will be approx 47 mins. to the end-of-the-ligne.





7.) The main entrance to DLP will be located approx 100 meters from the Marne La Vallée-Chessy RER station exits.





8.) You%26#39;re on your own to get to your DLP hotel...BUT...it would sure be a grand idea if you had the EXACT name and address of your hotel written down on a slip of paper...or better yet a print-out of the ACESS/LOCATION page from your hotel%26#39;s web site.

wow this is going to be costly getting there!




|||



Thanks KD....I guess I will try taking the train ....! *wish me luck !!*lol




|||



13€ BVA Shuttle + 6,45€ Metro/RER fare = 19,45€ is really quite reasonable for this transfer....unless there is some NOT-so-minor-little-detail(s) that you haven%26#39;t shared...like traveling with a Ringling Bros Barnum %26amp; Bailey circus troupe, a %26#39;big top%26#39; and a menagerie of %26#39;lions and tigers and bears%26#39;.




|||



no just a couple monkeys and my pet elephant. LOL...





I guess I just wanted the %26quot;convienience%26quot; of a shuttle. but why not rough and tough it out. Now I%26#39;m a bit worried cause I%26#39;ll have a back pack with me and I guess Euro disney no longer has lockers...

%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;I guess I will try taking the train%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;





You can certainly try---schedules permitting---but it will NOT be any less expensive. Regional bus from BVA airport to the SNCF train station in BEAUVAIS (approx. 4€..25 mins)...SNCF train from BEAUVAIS to PARIS-Gare du Nord (usually with a train change at Creuil...approx 70 mins)...then RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne to CHATELET-LES HALLES...switch over to the RER %26#39;A%26#39; ligne to MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY RER (same 6,45€ fare..approx 40 mins).





The bad news is that the %26#39;train%26#39; alternative will cost more. The worse news is that it will also involve more transfers and %26#39;hoops%26#39; to jump through en route...and saving the %26#39;best%26#39; for last, probably only take an hour or so longer for the transfer.





Bon voyage et bonne chance

I don%26#39;t know if the DisneyLand Paris park offers Left Luggage lockers....but I do know that there is a %26#39;..CONSIGNES AUTOMATIQUES..%26#39; (Left Luggage Lockers) located within the SNCF/TGV portion of the MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY station complex (across from the RER portion of the station). The cost is approx. 4,50€-small, 7€-medium; 9€-large.

If you%26#39;re shocked at the price, perhaps it would make you feel better to remember that Beauvais is the %26quot;boonies%26quot; airport for Paris -- and that it%26#39;s nearly 50 miles to Disney from there.





An hour and 20 Euros is pretty cheap, considering...it%26#39;s 25 Euros to get from CDG to DSP via the TGV (asap...!)if you don%26#39;t make reservations, 15 Euros if you do -- and that%26#39;s only 30 minutes%26#39; drive by car.
