Travel agent reckoned I needed to get a train into Gare du Nord then another train out to Disney. Probably worth booking and mentioning the wheelchair. SNCF are supposed to be good with ramps and reserved spaces though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks - at a rough estimate about £150 for 4 adults and 3 kids and it only takes 9 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I don't remember the SNCF trains that went to Disney from Gare du Nord being very wheelchair friendly, NBB. There's a small, flat area as you enter the train, but I believe the vast majority (if not all) of the trains which head to Marne La Vallee are double decker trains, so you're required to either go upstairs or downstairs from the train entrance to sit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went with work (conference at Disneyland was bizarre) and the TGV took about 10 mins and from memory it wasn’t a double decker so should be better for wheelchair accessibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dug Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I was there last weekend. On the trains you can get a Tgv direct, we just missed one (would have made it if hadn't picked up the wrong bag!) when we arrived at Cdg and the next wasn't for a couple of hours. Got the RER instead. Only cost about €20 but took about an hour an a half. Got the Tgv on the way home €80 for 9 mins travel for 2 adults and 2 kids... The tgv, the one we were on at least was a double decker, but I am sure there will be accessible carriages. Disney itself - I just had the feeling of being trapped and getting fleeced at every single opportunity. Everything is expensive and set up to get money out of you - it gets on your tits. Even last weekend when it was freezing the queues were horrendous. 70 minutes to get a picture taken with a princess, 80 minutes pretty standard for any of the kids rides. Didn't try the adult stuff as my youngest is too wee. Waited 45 minutes to get served a shitey hotdog in one of the 'fast food' restaurants. The illuminations are impressive but as previously mentioned all the good spots are taken well in advance. Didn't look into the fast passes, might be worth doing if you can stomach giving them even more money! I think I would have gone mad with a week of it. ... Enjoy yourself though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October looking at Gran Canaria or Crete ( yes big differences but both good options i have right now) I liked Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, proper Spanish city. Never been to Crete but the Greek Islands I've been to have been brilliant. Basically, you can't go wrong. If the place you book is a bit shit then just sleep there and take a bus or boat somewhere else during the day.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Crete’s ok but there’s better Greek islands out there imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason for Crete was I know someone with a villa out there so a sort of cheaper option. Fair do. Ill be looking for an update on Eurodisney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broony88 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Here at the moment and managedthree rides so far, spent more time queuing in a day and a half than I have in my whole life. An hour queue for lunch today, twenty minutes at a small world followed by thirty minutes queuing for a drink. Got breakfast with the characters tomorrow morning which should be fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
