Chessy is the commune where much of Disneyland Paris stands, and its railway station, Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, is the gateway to the resort. Flying into Beauvais airport (BVA) and heading for Chessy means crossing the Paris region from north to east, a drive of roughly 110 to 125 km. This guide compares the private transfer with the public transport route and explains how to plan around early and late budget flights.

Private transfer from Beauvais
Your driver meets you at arrivals and takes you to your hotel, to the Disney area or to the station, with no changes. For a family arriving on a late budget flight, this is by far the easiest way to reach Chessy.
| Passengers | Fixed fare for the whole vehicle | About per person |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | €160 | €40–160 |
| 5 | €170 | €34 |
| 6 | €175 | €29 |
| 7 | €180 | €26 |
| 8 | €185 | €23 |
The fare is per vehicle, not per seat, and it does not change with traffic. A group of four pays €40 each, so a family or a group of friends shares the cost of the longer drive from Beauvais.
What is included

By public transport
From Beauvais the public transport route is long. The airport shuttle bus runs into Paris, to Porte Maillot, in roughly 1 hour 15 minutes, and from there you continue by metro or RER to Châtelet–Les Halles and change again to the RER A. With the connections and waiting time, many travellers report two and a half to three hours in total. The shuttle routes and timetables have changed in the past because of roadworks, so check the airport’s official site for the current service before you plan around it.
The RER A ends at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, so you cannot miss your stop. It takes about 40 minutes from Gare de Lyon and about 50 minutes from Châtelet–Les Halles. The station is at the entrance to Disney Village, close to the park entrances, and it is also served by TGV and Eurostar.
About the Chessy station
- Four networks in one place: RER A, TGV, Eurostar and OUIGO services all use the station, which was built with the resort in mind.
- Beside the parks: the entrance to Disney Village is next to the station, so on foot you are close to the parks.
- Hotels further out: if your hotel is outside the resort, such as the family hotels at Magny-le-Hongre, a private transfer takes you to the door and saves a second leg by shuttle or taxi.
Where to stay near Chessy
The Disney hotels and partner hotels around Chessy and Val d’Europe all fall within the Disney-area fare. See our guides from Beauvais to Explorers Hotel, Dream Castle Hotel, Grand Magic Hotel and Hotel Cheyenne. For things to do beyond the parks, read things to do in Chessy.
Why a long transfer needs planning
- Budget-flight timing: very early or late flights are common at Beauvais, when public transport thins out.
- Luggage: families often arrive with extra bags and pushchairs, which are hard on the changes in central Paris.
- Cost per person: at four passengers the fare is €40 each, and it falls as the group grows.
Returning to Beauvais
Flights from Beauvais often leave early, so plan the pick-up ahead of your airline’s check-in deadline. Book the return when you book the arrival, tell us your departure time, and we plan around it. You can change either leg up to 24 hours before.
Why the Beauvais fare is higher than from CDG or Orly
The fare follows the distance. Beauvais is far to the north, while Charles de Gaulle and Orly are much closer to Chessy. Here is how the three airports compare, using Piyo Cab fares for the Disney area.
| Airport | Distance to the resort area | Typical drive | Piyo Cab fare, 1–2 passengers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charles de Gaulle (CDG) | About 30 km | About 30–40 minutes | €70 |
| Orly | About 45 km | About 45 minutes | €80 |
| Beauvais (BVA) | Roughly 110–125 km | About 1 hour 20–30 minutes | €160 |
For a group of four, the Beauvais fare is €160 in total, or €40 each, so check whether the flight saving at Beauvais covers the longer transfer.
A typical arrival day from Beauvais
- After landing: allow time to collect your bags and meet your driver.
- The drive: about 1 hour 20 to 30 minutes to Chessy, so plan for check-in rather than the parks on the day you land.
- Check-in: if you arrive before your room is ready, hotels will usually store your luggage so you can go straight to the parks.
- Evening: Disney Village is beside the station and stays open into the evening, which suits tired travellers.
Eurostar and TGV: another way to arrive
Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy is also a Eurostar and TGV station, so many visitors, including families from the UK, arrive by train and use the station as the start of their stay. If your group is split between a flight and a train, we can collect some of you at the station and some at the airport, with one booking for each.
