If you're travelling to Disneyland Paris by Eurostar or TGV high speed train, Disney Express Hotel Check-In & Luggage Service is a popular service offered to help you enjoy as much time in the parks as possible.
Since Marne-la-Vallé/Chessy train station is located right at the gates of the two Disney parks, it can seem like a waste of precious time to go to your hotel and back just to check-in and collect your tickets. This service lets you head straight to the parks instead, delivering your bags to your hotel for you.
Then, upon your departure, simply leave your bags at your hotel concierge in the morning, enjoy a final day of fun, and they'll be ready to pick up from the station before your train leaves later that day, saving you another time-consuming hop back and forth.
The service can be added if you're on a hotel and park tickets package staying at a Disney Hotel or Partner Hotel, either booked directly through Disneyland Paris or one of their preferred travel agents.
You can be due to arrive at Marne-la-Vallé/Chessy train station on either a direct service to Disneyland Paris or an indirect service (such as via Lille). See "How it works" below for how the service will differ depending on your route.
Your rail transport itself doesn't need to be booked through Disneyland Paris to take advantage of the service — so be sure to check this isn't cheaper booked separately.
Disney Express is available for guests staying at all Disney Hotels and Partner Hotels, including:
The service is not available for Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch or Villages Nature Paris.
Disney Express is available for a standard additional cost per person, for all travellers 3 years and older. This price includes both arrival and departure luggage transfers and advance hotel check-in.
Prices correct at last update. Subject to change.
Price in Pound Sterling applies only to advance UK bookings.
As part of a Disneyland Paris hotel package with transport, Disney Express can be booked online or over the phone:
If you're booking your rail travel separately yourself, which can often work out significantly cheaper, you can still add Disney Express to your hotel package booking:
Disney Express must be added for every person (from 3 years) within your booking.
Note: Disney Express Luggage Service should not be confused with Disney's Magical Express, an airport transfer bus service which operates only at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
Disney Express used to be a standard extra perk when booking direct Eurostar travel alongside a Disneyland Paris hotel package; a "unique selling point" of the resort, allowing you to arrive and walk straight into the Disney parks.
Now, it's only available for an extra cost on top of every booking. Is it still worth it?
Sometimes, it's worth paying for an extra bit of magic:
Having to go to your hotel as soon as you arrive, leaving the parks behind, might not be the worst thing. There are plenty of reasons why this might even be a better choice for you:
If you can manage your bags between you, you're effectively paying extra just for time in the parks that you've already paid for with your park tickets.
At the heart of the service is the Disney Express desk itself, situated on the first floor near the back of Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy TGV station and easy to spot from the main concourse.
Disney Express might not suit everyone, especially if you're arriving or departing at inconvenient times or staying at a different hotel to those served by the service. Here are a few tips for alternative ways to take care of your luggage:
