| How did you get to DLP from the airport? So far, when we went to DLP we always drove with our own car. Now in September it'll be my first time flying there (via Charles-de-Gaulle). I was wondering, what kind of transportation did you take to get to DLP from the airport? Did any of you use VEA Navette shuttle, the RER, a cab or even a rental car??? We're thinking the VEA would be best but are not sure yet.

| I can't help, as we always take the Eurostar. It's just half an hour's drive from our home, so it's the easiest way of getting straight to the magic.

| We didn't travel directly between CDG and DLP, because our circumstances didn't require it. However, we did use RER from Paris/Gare de Lyon to DLP, and the experience wasn't good. The RER is a commuter rail line with no luggage service and little space to store luggage on the train. Since we were traveling with luggage (and six-month-old Alexander), that was not a good choice. Since you'd have to take RER into central Paris and change train lines to get to DLP... no, I wouldn't recommend it unless you were on a budget and were traveling with just carryon luggage or a small backpack. We took a cab back into Paris from DLP - that was much nicer, and not particularly expensive for three of us. Our cab from Paris to CDG (on a later day), however, was another matter. Part of it was our fault, part the driver's, part the administration at CDG, part our own airline... Why is it that there are no road signs at CDG listing which airline departs from which terminal? Why was it that our tickets didn't tell us from which terminal we were departing? Why did the airport's Information system list our airline as departing from one terminal (the new terminal it was going to move to in another month), when it was actually departing from a different terminal (the terminal it had been using for many years)? Well, we missed our flight, but we had a delightful overnight stay in the village of Roissy. Such are the adventures of travel. My instinct is to take the VEA if we ever need to go directly between CDG and DLP - keep things simple!

| I personally go on the RER. But the bus is a good option, that is one I did before - and I know there is the TGV as well.

| We took the RER from CGD to Gare de Lyon and then to Marne le Vallee. As we arrived quite late at night it was our only option other than a cab. We had no problems, but I wouldn't fancy the trip after a long haul flight. Upon our return we used the bus which was more expensive than the RER but definitely worth it. The bus stop is clearly signposted outside each airport terminal and drops off at every DLP hotel. It also runs every 30 mins or so.

| CDG to DLP Last June we took the VEA shuttle from the airport. It was fairly straightfoward and took about 1 hour to reach the park. If I was flying into Charles De Gaul again, I would use this transfer - however from the UK it was quicker to drive than to hang about at Heathrow and Charles de Gaul! Hope this helps

| Re: How Did You Get to DLP from the Airport? Which aiport? No, I know which airport you are talking about, but, whenever I visit DLP I always fly into Gatwick airport, then take the train from the airport to London, lay over in London for a couple of days, and then take the Eurostar from London to DLP. The Eurostar, with one stop, will take you directly from London to DLP. You do not even need to change trains in Paris like you once had to. |
