Hi,Hoping to get the train from cdg to dlp. Does anyone know how far the train station at dlp is from the Sequoia hotel. Will have 2 young kids and suitcases in tow, so would like to know how long a walk or cab ride it would be.

I cannot tell by the way you ask your question if you inquiring about train options but here are all of the travel methods from CDG to DLP
1. TGV
(non refundable fares vary depending upon departure time from 15€ to 30€)
Travel time 9-10 minutes, last departure about 9:55 p.m.

2. Bus (VEA)

I don%26#39;t believe the walk to the Disney hotels exceed 15 to 20 minutes but most all have a shuttle. The VEA bus will also drop you off at your hotel.

Hi.
Sarastro has answered your travel questions, so I will just mention the Sequoia part.
There are 2 exits at the railway station- front and side.
If you exit the side, the hotel bus stops are opposite.There is a board showing wchich stop number for each hotel. The buses run quite frequently early til late.
If you exit the front main doors, you will see the entrance to the Disney Village on your left.Turn left from the station, go round the corner, and the bus stops are on the right.
It only takes 10 mins walking from the station through the Disney Village to the lake, turn left, go round the end of the lake past the New York hotel, and the Sequoia is on the other side.
Probably quicker than waiting for the bus, but depends if your cases have wheels, and how old your kids are. It is quite a pleasant walk, and you will see things on the way, and get an idea of your bearings.
Read my review on TA of the Sequoia if you havn%26#39;t already, we have stayed there a few times.
Also look at my review of the Disney Village. I have posted photos taken from the hot air balloon above the lake, so you can see the station, parks, Village, bus stops, and hotels from above. It will give you an idea of where things are, and distance.
Any other questions, please ask on the forum, or send me a message. Happy to help.

Thanks for all the info, I will have a good look into the options. It%26#39;s mainly to find the cheapest and quickest way between both destinations.VEA will charge E60 each way for the 4 of us which seems a bit steep.
|||
Thanks for the useful information! We%26#39;re going in November,arriving mid morning, so depending on the weather, I think we would like the walk from the station. If the TGV is so quick and cheap and convenient, why is it not advertised more widely? I also need to find out what terminal Flybe land at, and if it%26#39;s not Term2 where the TGV stop is, how easy is it to transfer to Term2?
|||
I think it may be because the TGV gets booked up, and you have to book tickets on a specific train, which can be difficult when flights can be delayed etc.I read a comment on a forum where someone wrote they had wanted to book it, but it was full.
The RER is an ordinary train, so you don%26#39;t have to book.
|||
I%26#39;ve never used it, so I%26#39;m only guessing.
I have used the RER to go in to Paris for a day from Disney.
|||
Thanks. I was worried about flight delays etc. Maybe I will book the VEA going, and the TGV coming back as we will have got our bearings by then. 20E in my pocket, or Mickeys is better than on expensive transport!!
|||
We have never booked the VEA bus, because it%26#39;s just a frequent shuttle to and from Disney, supposed to be about every 20 mins. You just pay on board.Again, you can%26#39;t guarantee your arrival time when flying.We used to book a package, and shuttle tickets were included.We did have a long wait once, but that was at peak time with lots of flights coming in, so there was a queue at the bus stop.Then 2 buses arrived at once.They used to take you to your hotel door, but not sure if they still do that, or stop at the bus stop by the railway station now.
Maybe someone else can confirm this?
Anything else you need to know? You can send me a message if you prefer.

Your hotel room may not be ready until 3pm. You can leave your luggage at the hotel luggage store( no charge)and then go into the park, as your tickets are valid for arrival and departure days when you stay in a Disney hotel.
If your kids are tired after travelling, and the park is too much, you could just use the pool( check it is not closed for maintenance, as they close at different times)until your room is ready, so pack swim things on top.
Suggest you book somewhere for your main meal before you arrive.You havn%26#39;t said the date you arrive, or how long for.My son went on 1st Dec last year, and said the parks were not busy,only small queues for most rides.
Have a look at dlpfoodguide.com. Describes all the restaurants and cafes in the resort, with reviews.
The Buffalo Bill Wild West Show in the Village now has Characters.
