- RER A (local): board the RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée from central Paris stations such as Châtelet–Les Halles, Gare de Lyon, Nation, or Charles de Gaulle–Étoile. Trains run roughly every 10–20 minutes, with the journey taking about 35–45 minutes.
- TGV (high-speed): direct high-speed trains connect Marne-la-Vallée Chessy with many major French cities, avoiding the need to transfer through central Paris.
- Eurostar & Thalys (international): seasonal and direct international services connect the resort to destinations such as London, with other international travellers typically connecting via a Paris terminal such as Gare du Nord.
By Air
Disneyland Paris is served by both of Paris's main international airports, each with onward connections to the resort.
- Paris–Charles de Gaulle (CDG): the closer of the two airports, reachable via the Disneyland Paris Express shuttle bus or by train with a connection through central Paris.
- Paris–Orly: a little further out, also connected by the Disneyland Paris Express shuttle bus, or via the Orlyval and RER network with a change of train.
- Disneyland Paris Express: the official shuttle bus service between both airports and the resort, offering a direct, luggage-friendly alternative to the train.
By Car
Disneyland Paris sits around 32 km east of central Paris, just off the A4 motorway — a straightforward drive from Paris or connecting cities.
- Take the A4 motorway east from Paris and follow signs for "Parcs Disneyland".
- Large on-site car parks serve both theme parks, Disney Village, and the resort hotels.
- Standard and preferred parking options are available, with preferred spots closer to the park entrances for an additional fee.

- Check with your hotel about complimentary or paid shuttle service if staying off-site.
