Is the Eurostar no longer going to Disney?

Eurostar announced Tuesday that it will stop direct trains from London to Disneyland Paris as of June 2023, blaming the coronavirus pandemic and Brexit.



That is correct; the direct Eurostar service from London St Pancras to Disneyland Paris (Marne-la-Vallée) was officially discontinued in June 2023 and has not returned as of 2026. However, you can still easily reach Disneyland Paris by train using a connection in Lille. In 2026, the standard route is to take a Eurostar from London to Lille Europe, which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. From there, you simply change platforms for a French high-speed TGV train, which whisk you directly to the Disneyland gates in about 1 hour. This "indirect" route is often more flexible, as there are many more daily connections via Lille than there were direct trains. For 2026 travelers, booking this as a single "London to Disney" ticket via the Eurostar website is the high-value move, as it ensures you are protected and rebooked for free if your first train is delayed and you miss your connection.
