We believe your vacation should feel like a vacation from start to finish. Here is exactly how to navigate your transfer with us.

1

Book Your Tickets Online

Do this before flying

Visit our website and select your flight arrival date, times, and the number of passengers. Complete your booking securely online.

2

Download and Save Your QR Code

Crucial Step

Check your email for your confirmation. Do not just show the email text to the driver. Click the link in the email to download the actual PDF ticket containing your unique QR code. Save a screenshot to your phone gallery so it is accessible even without a data connection.

3

Locate Your Airport Bus Stop

10–15 min walk after baggage claim

Collect your luggage and clear customs. Follow the bright red airport signage for "Bus / Shuttles" or "Magical Shuttle." If landing at CDG Terminal 2, head to the central gallery between Terminals 2E and 2F.

4

Load Luggage and Board

No tipping required

When the distinctive coach arrives, present your digital QR code to the friendly driver for scanning. Place your large bags into the under-coach storage compartment yourself, then find any open seat onboard.

5

Arrive Directly at Your Destination

Approx. 60-minute ride

Sit back, enjoy the onboard Disney videos, and check your park maps using the free Wi-Fi. The coach will drive straight to the resort zone and make sequential stops directly at the hotel main entrances.

Why Choose Paris Disney Tours?

While there are trains and local taxis available, our dedicated airport bus service provides unmatched advantages for holidaymakers:

  • Tailored to Families: We know traveling with young kids is exhausting. Our onboard environment is welcoming, entertaining, and safe, ensuring the children stay amused during the transfer.

  • Fixed and Predictable Costs: Taxis from central Paris or the airports can charge unpredictable rates based on heavy Parisian highway traffic. Our flat-rate ticket ensures peace of mind.
