Is Disney Express going away?

In light of this shift, when Disney Resort hotel bookings open for stays in 2022, we will no longer offer Disney's Magical Express service for airport transportation, starting with arrivals Jan. 1, 2022.



No, the Disney Express luggage service at Disneyland Paris is not going away; in fact, it remains a centerpiece of the resort's guest convenience strategy in 2026. This service allows guests arriving by train at the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station (TGV or Eurostar) to drop off their bags at a dedicated counter and head straight into the parks while their luggage is delivered to their hotel. Conversely, on departure day, guests can leave their bags at the hotel and pick them up at the station before their train leaves. While Disney has retired other services like the free "FastPass" (replacing it with the paid Disney Premier Access), the Disney Express service is viewed as essential for managing the high volume of "car-free" European travelers. The service currently costs around €18–€25 per person (round trip) and is available for guests staying at Disney-owned hotels and select partner hotels. As of early 2026, it continues to operate daily from 7:45 AM to 9:00 PM, though travelers are advised to book it in advance to ensure availability during peak holiday seasons.
