How to: Get to Disneyland Paris from Vatry Airport

by admin on July 20, 2010

Looking at the search engine queries, there appears to be a lot of people asking this question, and for good reason too: Vatry Airport hardly deals with any passenger traffic, yet is marketed as Paris Vatry (Disney) by Ryanair. The reality is that the airport is some way from the Disney resort, so if you’re not hiring a car, you’ll need some way of getting there. Here are the best ways that we have found:

1) Private Transfer: There are many companies offering ‘private transfers’; essentially what these amount to is little more than a taxi service with a veichle appropriate to however many passengers you might have. The good news is that most now have websites and are in English; Google around for their pages – some may already be placing ads on our site. The cost of this is not cheap if you use this, but perhaps economical if you have several passengers.

2) Coach service: There is a little known ‘Paris Vatry Shuttle’ which is not well advertised on the airport website. This coach service is only available to airport passengers, so one would guess that it’s subsidised by the airport. The price is a reasonable 25 Euro return from the airport, considering the length of journey and the coach will stop at the following points:
Reims Train Station 
Vatry Airport
Chalons en Champagne Train Station
Cheyenne Hotel (Disney)
Disneyland Hotel (Disney)
New York Hotel (Disney)
Chessy Marne-la Vallee Station (Disney)
Santa Fe Hotel (Disney)
Sequoia Hotel (Disney)
Newport Bay Hotel (Disney)
Davy Crockett Ranch Hotel (Disney)

You can find a timetable at http://paris-disney-champagne.for-system.com/index_uk.aspx; do note all passengers need to have travelled via plane to Vatry, to underscore this, the bus only coincides with flight landings.

3) Train: You may want to consider if there is any difference in cost to take the train: particularly if you can get to London, Amsterdam, Brussels or Frankfurt for the TGV fast train. Disney has it’s own train station (the Marne la Vallee) which may mean you can cut out all the transfer problems by going via an airport with better connections. Even going via Paris CDG may save you some cash in the long run if time is factored in.
