For travelers departing from London, the Eurostar is almost universally considered the superior way to reach Disneyland Paris compared to flying. The primary advantage is convenience; the Eurostar transports you from the heart of London (St Pancras International) directly to the gates of the Disney parks (Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station) in roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes. This eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming airport transfers, which can take over an hour from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). Additionally, Eurostar offers a significantly more generous luggage allowance—two large suitcases plus a carry-on with no weight restrictions—and lacks the liquid limitations that make flying with children difficult. While flying might seem faster on paper (a 1-hour flight time), once you factor in the 2-hour early arrival for security, the travel to the airport, and the post-flight shuttle to the resort, the total journey time is often longer and more stressful than the train. However, for those traveling from northern UK cities like Manchester or Edinburgh, flying directly to CDG is often the more practical and cost-effective choice, as it avoids the extra step of a cross-country train journey to London.
