Charles de Gaulle airport is located near Roissy, 25km North-East of Paris and nestled between autoroutes A1 and A104. By far the largest and busiest airport in France, it is also the second busiest on the entire European continent, with three terminals and excellent transport links.

Magical Shuttle is the official shuttle given license to operate daily between Roissy/CDG airport and Disneyland Resort Paris, with brightly coloured, 75-seater, air-conditioned coaches. The service stops only at Terminal 2E/2F, with tickets available to purchase as part of your package, through travel agents, at Aéroports de Paris counters or on-board the bus itself. The bus pick-up points are signposted throughout Terminal 2E/2F with either the VEA logo or text in both French and English.
There are services up to every 45 minutes between Charles de Gaulle Airport and the Disney Hotels (excluding Davy Crockett Ranch), with some of these also serving the Val de France hotels. All coaches stop at the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy bus station, allowing onward links to Val de France, Val d'Europe or Marne-la-Vallée area hotels. Full timetables can be found on the official website.
TGV
- Journey time: 10 minutes
- About € 16 for adults [More Info]
- Recommended if times convenient or with smaller groups
- Book your tickets online now!
For around the same price as the Magical Shuttle, you can speed your way direct to the magic in less than 10 minutes on board a peaceful, luxurious TGV train. Trains depart from the TGV/RER hub near Terminal 2, accessed via the circular shuttle bus from your arrival gate. With flight delays, baggage collection and the shuttle bus journey, it will be difficult to calculate exactly what time you'll arrive at the station, and with trains departing only every 20 to 60 minutes depending on the time of day, it can be hard to plan this route. For sheer speed of arrival, however, this option is astonishing. You'll barely have time to find your seat before Space Mountain appears in the distance!
A good option might be to use TGV for your return journey to the airport, purchasing your ticket either online or from the TGV ticket desks on the main station concourse at Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy.

Reviews for "Explore Disneyland Paris with Ease on a Magical Shuttle Trip"
1. John - 2/5 stars: I was really disappointed with the Magical Shuttle Disneyland Paris. The shuttle was late picking us up from the airport and the driver was rude. The bus itself was dirty and uncomfortable. The overall experience was not worth the money we paid.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars: I had a terrible experience with Magical Shuttle Disneyland Paris. The shuttle never showed up at the designated pick-up point and we had to find an alternative mode of transportation to the park. When I contacted their customer service, they were unhelpful and didn't offer any solutions or compensation for our inconvenience. I would not recommend using this service.
3. Michael - 2/5 stars: I was really disappointed with the Magical Shuttle Disneyland Paris. The bus was overcrowded and the air conditioning wasn't working properly, so it was extremely hot inside. The driver was also driving recklessly, making the ride uncomfortable and unsafe. I expected better from a service that is supposed to cater to tourists visiting Disneyland Paris.
4. Laura - 3/5 stars: While I didn't have a terrible experience with Magical Shuttle Disneyland Paris, I found their customer service to be lacking. When our shuttle was delayed due to traffic, we were not provided with any updates or information, which made us worry about missing our flight. The shuttle itself was average, nothing special. I would suggest looking into other transportation options before settling for this shuttle service.
