How to Get From Paris Airports to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe (2026 Guide)
Posted on
January 30, 2026
Arriving in Paris after a flight can be tiring, particularly when you are travelling with children, several suitcases, a pushchair, or passengers who need additional assistance. Understanding how to get from Paris airports to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe before landing can make the first day of your Disneyland Paris holiday considerably easier.
Disney's Hotel Santa Fe is located in Coupvray, within the Disneyland Paris resort area. It is approximately 40 kilometres from Charles de Gaulle Airport, around 48 kilometres from Orly Airport, and roughly 120 kilometres from Beauvais Airport. Available transport options include trains, airport coaches, taxis, ride-hailing services, and pre-booked private airport transfers.
This guide compares each option by journey time, convenience, luggage handling, number of connections, and suitability for different passengers. Although public transport may work well for solo travellers with light luggage, a private shuttle can be more practical for families and groups who prefer a direct journey to the hotel.
This guide is ideal for European tourists visiting Disneyland Paris for the first time, families travelling with children, groups carrying multiple suitcases, business travellers with limited time, and visitors arriving on early-morning or late-night flights.
As a Paris-based airport transfer provider, Paris Private Shuttle regularly assists passengers arriving at CDG, Orly, and Beauvais. This gives our team first-hand knowledge of common traffic conditions, airport pickup procedures, luggage requirements, family travel needs, and the challenges passengers may experience when changing trains after a flight.
What Are the Main Airports in Paris?
Paris and the surrounding region are mainly served by three airports: Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly Airport, and Paris-Beauvais Airport.
Charles de Gaulle and Orly are connected to the wider Île-de-France public transport network. Beauvais is much farther from Paris and is primarily used by short-haul and low-cost airlines.
The best route to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe therefore depends significantly on your arrival airport.
Charles de Gaulle Airport
Charles de Gaulle Airport, commonly identified by the airport code CDG, is the largest international airport serving Paris. It is located northeast of the capital and is generally the closest major airport to Disneyland Paris.
The airport has three main terminal areas, although Terminal 2 is divided into several individual halls. Passengers should check their terminal before arranging a pickup because transfer times between terminals can be longer than expected.
- Distance from Paris city centre: Approximately 25–35 kilometres
- Distance from Disneyland Paris: Approximately 40–45 kilometres
- Distance from Orly Airport: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Distance from Beauvais Airport: Approximately 80–90 kilometres
- Distance from Gare du Nord: Approximately 25 kilometres
- Distance from Gare de Lyon: Approximately 30 kilometres
- Distance from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station: Approximately 40 kilometres
CDG is often the most convenient airport for travellers heading directly to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe. A road transfer normally takes around 35–50 minutes, although heavy traffic, roadworks, and peak holiday arrivals can extend the journey.
Orly Airport
Orly Airport, identified by the code ORY, is located south of central Paris. It handles domestic, European, and selected international flights.
The airport is connected to the Paris public transport network by Metro Line 14 and other local transport services. However, reaching Disneyland Paris from Orly generally requires travelling through or around Paris and making at least one connection.
- Distance from Paris city centre: Approximately 13–20 kilometres
- Distance from Disneyland Paris: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Distance from Charles de Gaulle Airport: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Distance from Beauvais Airport: Approximately 100–110 kilometres
- Distance from Gare de Lyon: Approximately 18 kilometres
- Distance from Gare du Nord: Approximately 22 kilometres
- Distance from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station: Approximately 48 kilometres
A direct road transfer from Orly to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe usually takes 45–65 minutes in normal conditions. Morning and evening congestion around Paris can increase the journey to 75–90 minutes.
Paris-Beauvais Airport
Paris-Beauvais Airport, with the code BVA, is located near the city of Beauvais rather than within Paris itself. It is significantly farther from Disneyland Paris than CDG or Orly.
The airport does not have a direct railway station. Travellers using public transport usually begin with an airport coach or a local bus and train combination.
- Distance from Paris city centre: Approximately 80–85 kilometres
- Distance from Disneyland Paris: Approximately 115–125 kilometres
- Distance from Charles de Gaulle Airport: Approximately 80–90 kilometres
- Distance from Orly Airport: Approximately 100–110 kilometres
- Distance from Gare du Nord: Approximately 80 kilometres
- Distance from Gare de Lyon: Approximately 90 kilometres
- Distance from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station: Approximately 120 kilometres
For passengers heading directly to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe, a private road transfer is usually the simplest Beauvais option because it avoids entering central Paris and changing between multiple services.
Disney's Hotel Santa Fe
Disney's Hotel Santa Fe—officially styled by Disneyland Paris as Disney Hotel Santa Fe—is a two-star Disney hotel located at Avenue Robert Schuman, 77700 Coupvray, France.
The hotel is inspired by the landscapes and roadside culture of the American Southwest. Its rooms and selected hotel areas feature themes connected to Disney and Pixar's Cars. Disneyland Paris describes the property as being approximately a 20-minute walk from the Disney Parks, with a complimentary hotel shuttle also available.
Guests can use facilities such as free parking, Wi-Fi, luggage storage, a restaurant, a bar, and a shop. La Cantina serves a Tex-Mex-inspired international buffet, while the Rio Grande Bar follows the hotel's Route 66 and Southwestern theme.
The property was widely known as Disney's Hotel Santa Fe. Disneyland Paris now commonly presents the official name without the possessive form as Disney Hotel Santa Fe. Both versions may still appear in travel searches, booking confirmations, older guides, and customer enquiries.
Guests can view current hotel information on the official Disney Hotel Santa Fe page.
The nearest major railway station is Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy. After arriving at the station, guests can use the complimentary Disney hotel shuttle, walk to the hotel, or take a short local taxi journey.
How to Get From Charles de Gaulle Airport to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe
CDG is usually the easiest Paris airport for reaching the hotel. The road distance is approximately 40–45 kilometres.
Train or RER
There are two main rail approaches: a fast TGV service from CDG Terminal 2 to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy when a suitable train is available, or an RER journey involving a connection.
The TGV journey itself can be very short, but passengers must allow time to reach the correct station, wait for the booked train, and travel from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy to the hotel. TGV availability and prices vary according to the date and demand.
An RER journey normally involves taking RER B from the airport and changing to RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy.
- Distance: Approximately 40–45 kilometres
- Total travel time: Around 60–100 minutes, depending on connections
- Recommended for: Solo travellers, couples, and passengers with light luggage
- Not recommended for: Families with pushchairs, passengers with several bags, late-night arrivals, or anyone uncomfortable changing trains
Bus or Coach
Some scheduled coach services connect CDG with the Disneyland Paris area. These can be convenient when their departure time matches your flight arrival.
However, passengers may need to wait for the next scheduled service, and the coach may stop at several hotels before reaching Disney's Hotel Santa Fe.
- Distance: Approximately 40–45 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 60–90 minutes
- Recommended for: Travellers who are not in a hurry and have manageable luggage
- Not recommended for: Passengers arriving after the final service, large groups, or families wanting an immediate departure
Airport Taxi
Taxis are available from the official taxi ranks outside the CDG terminals. A taxi provides a direct journey, although the total fare to Disneyland Paris is generally metered rather than covered by the fixed central Paris airport fare system.
- Distance: Approximately 40–45 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 35–50 minutes
- Recommended for: Passengers who have not booked transport and want a direct ride
- Not recommended for: Larger groups requiring a guaranteed minivan, child seats, or a confirmed price
Uber or Ride-Hailing Service
A ride-hailing vehicle can provide a direct trip from CDG. Pricing depends on demand, vehicle availability, pickup location, and traffic.
Finding the correct pickup zone can be confusing in a large airport such as CDG. Larger vehicles may also be limited during busy periods.
- Distance: Approximately 40–45 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 35–55 minutes
- Recommended for: App users with mobile data and a small amount of luggage
- Not recommended for: Large families, passengers without internet access, or travellers who need child seats guaranteed in advance
Private Shuttle
A pre-booked private shuttle collects passengers from their terminal and travels directly to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe.
The driver can monitor the flight, assist with luggage, and select a suitable vehicle according to the number of passengers. There is no need to change trains or wait for a scheduled coach.
- Distance: Approximately 40–45 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 35–50 minutes
- Recommended for: Families, groups, first-time visitors, business travellers, and passengers carrying several bags
- Not recommended for: Travellers whose only priority is finding the lowest possible individual fare
How to Get From Orly Airport to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe
The distance from Orly Airport to the hotel is approximately 45–50 kilometres. Public transport is possible, but it is less direct than travelling from CDG.
Metro, Train and RER
A typical public transport journey begins with Metro Line 14 from Orly. Passengers then connect with RER A towards Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy.
Depending on the selected route, an additional metro, train, or walking connection may be needed. Once at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, guests must continue to the hotel.
- Distance: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Total travel time: Around 75–110 minutes
- Recommended for: Budget-conscious adults travelling with light bags
- Not recommended for: Families with young children, passengers with mobility limitations, or visitors carrying large suitcases
Bus or Coach
A scheduled airport coach may operate between Orly and the Disneyland Paris area. It can reduce the number of rail changes, but passengers remain dependent on its timetable.
The service may call at several hotels, and waiting time at the airport must be added to the journey.
- Distance: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 70–100 minutes
- Recommended for: Passengers whose arrival time matches the coach schedule
- Not recommended for: Late arrivals, tight schedules, or travellers who prefer immediate departure
Airport Taxi
Official taxis can be found at the designated Orly taxi ranks. The journey to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe is direct, but it is outside the standard fixed-fare route between Orly and central Paris.
- Distance: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 45–65 minutes
- Recommended for: Passengers who need an unplanned direct journey
- Not recommended for: Groups that require a guaranteed large vehicle or passengers who want a confirmed price before arrival
Uber or Ride-Hailing Service
Ride-hailing services are available from Orly, although passengers must meet the driver at the correct pickup area.
The quoted fare can increase during high-demand periods, major events, strikes, or poor weather.
- Distance: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 45–70 minutes
- Recommended for: Couples or small groups familiar with app-based transport
- Not recommended for: Passengers needing several child seats, a guaranteed minivan, or support at the arrivals hall
Private Shuttle
A private shuttle provides a direct transfer from the Orly terminal to the hotel reception.
The service is particularly useful after evening flights because passengers do not need to manage rail connections or check the final operating time of each service.
- Distance: Approximately 45–50 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 45–65 minutes
- Recommended for: Families, larger groups, passengers with luggage, and travellers arriving outside convenient public transport hours
- Not recommended for: Solo travellers who are comfortable making connections and prioritise the lowest individual cost
How to Get From Beauvais Airport to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe
Beauvais is approximately 115–125 kilometres from the hotel. This makes the journey longer and more complicated by public transport.
Bus, Train and RER
One public transport route involves taking a local bus or taxi from Beauvais Airport to Beauvais railway station, travelling by regional train to Paris, and then connecting to RER A for Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy.
Passengers must manage multiple tickets, platforms, and luggage transfers. They must then continue from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy to the hotel.
- Distance: Approximately 115–125 kilometres
- Total travel time: Around 2 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours
- Recommended for: Experienced independent travellers with light luggage and flexible schedules
- Not recommended for: Families, groups, late arrivals, passengers with mobility limitations, or visitors travelling with young children
Official Airport Coach and RER
The official Beauvais airport coach connects BVA with selected locations in the Paris region. Depending on the chosen service, passengers must then travel across the city or suburbs to join RER A.
- Distance: Approximately 115–125 kilometres
- Total travel time: Around 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes
- Recommended for: Budget travellers who can manage transfers
- Not recommended for: Passengers with several suitcases or anyone wanting a straightforward hotel arrival
Airport Taxi
A taxi from Beauvais to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe provides a direct journey but can be expensive because of the distance.
Vehicle availability for a long-distance journey may also vary, particularly late at night.
- Distance: Approximately 115–125 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes
- Recommended for: Passengers who need an immediate direct journey and accept a metered or quoted long-distance fare
- Not recommended for: Travellers seeking predictable pricing without agreeing on the fare beforehand
Uber or Ride-Hailing Service
Ride-hailing coverage at Beauvais can be less predictable than at CDG or Orly. A driver may accept the journey, but availability, cancellation risk, and dynamic pricing can vary.
- Distance: Approximately 115–125 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes
- Recommended for: Travellers who confirm a suitable vehicle and price through the app
- Not recommended for: Large groups, late-night arrivals, or passengers who cannot risk a driver cancellation
Private Shuttle
A pre-booked private shuttle is normally the most straightforward Beauvais option for families and groups travelling to Disneyland Paris.
The vehicle collects passengers at the airport and travels directly to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe without routing through central Paris.
- Distance: Approximately 115–125 kilometres
- Travel time: Around 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes
- Recommended for: Families, groups, passengers with multiple suitcases, and travellers arriving early or late
- Not recommended for: Solo travellers willing to accept a much longer multi-stage journey to reduce their individual cost
Getting a Paris Private Shuttle
For travellers who prioritise comfort, reliability, and door-to-door service, a private transfer is often considered the most convenient option.
Paris Private Shuttle provides pre-booked airport transportation from Charles de Gaulle, Orly, and Beauvais to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe. Vehicles are selected according to passenger and luggage requirements, with options including Mercedes E-Class cars, Mercedes V-Class vehicles, and group minivans.
Fixed Price
The confirmed transfer price is provided in advance. This helps passengers avoid uncertainty caused by taxi meters, road congestion, or ride-hailing demand changes.
There are no unexpected charges when the agreed booking information remains unchanged.
Airport Meet and Greet
The driver meets passengers at the agreed airport pickup point. Flight details can be monitored so that the pickup can be adjusted when a flight arrives later than scheduled.
Clear meeting instructions are especially helpful at CDG, where terminals and arrival halls can be widely separated.
No Unnecessary Waiting or Connections
A private transfer does not follow a public coach timetable and does not require passengers to change between the metro, RER, train, or local hotel shuttle.
After meeting the driver and loading the luggage, passengers travel directly to the hotel.
Suitable for Families
Families can request a vehicle with enough room for suitcases, pushchairs, and other travel equipment. Child seats or booster seats can also be requested when completing the reservation.
This can be much easier than carrying children and luggage through busy railway stations.
Suitable for Business and Premium Travel
Business passengers and travellers on tight schedules benefit from a direct route, planned pickup, and 24/7 customer assistance.
English-speaking drivers can also help international visitors understand the pickup process and reach the correct hotel entrance.
Passengers can book their private shuttle transfer from Paris airports to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe in advance, reserve without immediate payment, and pay at the end of the journey according to the confirmed booking conditions.
Which Transport Option Should You Choose?
The most suitable option depends on your airport, group size, luggage, arrival time, and budget.
Choose public transport when you are travelling alone, carrying only a small bag, arriving during normal operating hours, and comfortable navigating unfamiliar stations.
Consider a scheduled coach when its departure time closely matches your flight and you do not mind waiting or sharing the journey with other hotel guests.
An airport taxi or ride-hailing vehicle may work for an unplanned journey, but vehicle size and pricing may not be confirmed far in advance.
A private shuttle is usually best for families, groups, passengers with several suitcases, late-night arrivals, and travellers who prefer a direct, pre-arranged service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take from Paris airports to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe?
The journey normally takes around 35–50 minutes from CDG, 45–65 minutes from Orly, and 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes from Beauvais by direct road transfer. Traffic can increase these times.
Is there a fixed taxi fare from Paris airports to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe?
The regulated fixed airport taxi fares mainly apply to journeys between CDG or Orly and designated areas of central Paris. Disney's Hotel Santa Fe is outside central Paris, so an airport taxi journey may use the meter or an agreed quotation. A pre-booked private transfer can provide a confirmed price before arrival.
Is Uber cheaper than a taxi in Paris?
It can be cheaper at certain times, but the price depends on demand, traffic, airport pickup conditions, and vehicle type. During busy periods, the app price may rise. A standard ride-hailing vehicle may also be unsuitable for a family with several bags.
Can I travel by train from CDG to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe?
Yes. You can check for a TGV service from CDG Terminal 2 to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy or use RER B with a connection to RER A. From Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, use the Disney hotel shuttle, walk, or take a short taxi journey.
Can I pre-book an airport transfer to Disney's Hotel Santa Fe?
Yes. A private airport transfer can be reserved before travelling. You should provide the flight number, arrival date, expected landing time, passenger count, luggage quantity, and any child-seat requirements.
Is a private airport transfer worth it for a family?
It is often worthwhile for families because the price covers the vehicle rather than an individual ticket for each passenger. It also removes train changes, luggage handling through stations, and uncertainty about finding a suitably sized vehicle at the airport.
Does Disney's Hotel Santa Fe provide an airport shuttle?
The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle between the hotel and the Disney Parks area, but this is not a direct shuttle from CDG, Orly, or Beauvais Airport. Airport transport must be arranged separately.
