Disneyland Paris is a holiday and recreation resort in Marne-la-Vall�e, a new town in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. The complex is located 20 miles from the centre of Paris and lies for the most part on the territory of the commune of Chessy, Seine-et-Marne.

Disneyland Paris comprises two theme parks, a retail, dining and entertainment district, and seven Disney-owned hotels. Operating since April 12, 1992, it was the second Disney resort to open outside the United States (following Tokyo Disney Resort) and the first to be owned and operated by Disney. With 15.3 million visitors in 2008, it is one of Europe's leading tourist destinations.

HOW TO GET THERE

The Disneyland Resort Paris is located only 20 miles east of Paris, the capital of France. There is a good infrastructure that connects Paris not only with the rest of France but all of Europe and through two international airports with the whole world.

Charles de Gaulle Airport (Roissy) is located 56 kilometer northwest of the resort, 23 kilometer northeast of Paris and Orly. From the airport there is the option of boarding the VEA Disneyland Resort Paris Shuttle Bus, which is priced very modestly. It is departing 7 days a week every 30 to 45 minutes (depending on the day of the week and the season) from the airport toward the Disneyland Resort Paris, where the bus stops at all Disney Hotels with the exception of the Davy Crockett Ranch, at the Val de France Hotels and at the bus-station next to the railway-station (located between the Disneyland Hotel and the Disney Village), where the shuttle buses to the Disney Hotels (again with the exception of the Davy Crockett Ranch) and the Val de France Hotels depart.

The shuttle departs at the airport at the following gates: terminal 1 (departure level) gate 30, terminal 2A and 2C gate A11/C1, terminal 2F level 0 (arrival level) gate 0.05 and terminal 2B&D gate D12. Just follow the signs "VEA Navettes Disneyland Resort Paris" from the luggage pick up areas to the departure spots.

Less expensive is the RER which connects the airport with the city of Paris. Just follow the signs leading you to the RER-station, where you board a train of the RER-line B direction "Robinson" or "St-Rémy les-Chevreuse", exit the train at the station "Chatelet-les-Halles", where you change onto the RER-line A direction "Marne-la-Vallée / Chessy Parcs Disneyland". The whole journey takes about 90 minutes. Exit the RER at the station of the same name which is located at the plaza between the Disneyland Hotel, the Walt Disney Studios and the Disney Village, next to the bus-station from where the free shuttle bus takes you to the Val de France Hotels and the Disney Hotels with the exception of the Davy Crockett Ranch.

Another option is to take the TGV, which stops at the TGV-train-station of the airport located in Terminal 2. Guests arriving / departing at Terminal 1 are offered a free shuttle bus connection to the station - just follow the signs to the shuttlebus stops / the TGV-station. The TGV offers (with roughly 10 minutes only) the fastest connection between the airport and the resort - and is still surprisingly good priced.

The airport Orly is located 50 kilometer southwest of the resort, 12 kilometer south of Paris. Guests can choose their method of transportation out of four options if arriving here.

First of all their is the option of boarding the VEA Disneyland Resort Paris Shuttle Bus, which is priced very modestly. It is departing 7 days a week every 30 to 45 minutes (depending on the day of the week and the season) from the airport toward the Disneyland Resort Paris

Less expensive is the RER/Metro (Orlyval) which connects the airport with the city of Paris. Just follow the signs leading you to the Orlyval/Metro-station, where you board a train that takes you to the RER-station "Antony". From there take the RER-line B direction "Mitry-Claye" or "Aiport Charles de Gaulle", exit the train at the station "Chatelet-les-Halles" and change onto the RER-line A direction "Marne-la-Vallée / Chessy Parcs Disneyland".By train
