A Budget-Friendly Guide to Disneyland Paris: A Breakdown of Travel Costs

If you’re dreaming of a magical getaway to Disneyland Paris but worried about breaking the bank, fear not! Here’s a detailed breakdown of our recent trip’s travel costs to help you plan your adventure without emptying your wallet.

Train to Gatwick – £9.60:
Starting our journey from Clapham Junction, a quick 27-minute train ride to Gatwick Airport set us back just £9.60. Booking through Trainline with our family and friends railcard, and utilizing TopCashback, made this leg of the trip both convenient and cost-effective.

EasyJet return flights – £76.06 pp:
Booking our EasyJet return flights through Skyscanner in advance last November proved to be a savvy move, costing us £76.06 per person. Opting for hand luggage only helped keep the flight expenses down, ensuring that the journey to the magic remained affordable.

Taxi from Paris CDG airport to the hotel – £60.71:
Arriving at Paris CDG airport after the last train to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy – Parcs Disneyland had departed presented us with limited options. Reluctantly, we hailed a taxi for £60.71. Pro tip: to avoid pricey taxis, aim for an earlier flight arrival.

Shuttle bus to and from the park – FREE:
Fortunately, our hotel Dream Castle provided a complimentary shuttle bus service to and from Disneyland Paris, saving us valuable euros and hassle in navigating transportation.

Train from DLP to Paris CDG Airport – £21.53:
For our return journey, booking tickets through Trainline once again proved to be the budget-friendly choice, costing us £21.53 for a train ride from Disneyland Paris back to CDG airport. Opting for the train proved both economical and efficient.

Train to London from Gatwick – £9.60:
Completing our journey, a swift train ride from Gatwick back to Clapham Junction, once again booked through Trainline, cost us just £9.60. The seamless transit ensured a stress-free conclusion to our magical adventure.

      Roll clothes or vacuum pack but the only issue with vacuum packing is that you’ll have to iron everything 🙁

    I’ve had a look on the trainline app for the train from Disney to CDG but it’s only giving the option to book the TGV which is £99 return for 4 of us! 😱 how did you book so cheap?
