Eurostar train company announced they were to stop direct trains between London and Disneyland Paris starting from the summer 2023. Going to Disneyland Paris straight from London will be no longer possible very soon! This is what Eurostar announced this August 30, 2022.
That's because in 2024 the oh-so-convenient Eurostar service from London to the Dutch capital will be stopping for up to 11 months. The closure is down to huge renovation work being carried out at Amsterdam Centraal from June 2024 to May 2025.
