Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris: Transfers, Costs, and Travel Advice
So, you’ve found those bargain Ryanair flights to Beauvais Airport… but is it actually a good idea for your Disneyland Paris trip?
I’m all for a bargain, but let me be blunt: do not fly into Beauvais. It just isn’t worth the small saving you’ll get (and I’ll show you why soon).
I say that from experience. The first time Callum and I flew to Paris, I got completely swept up in the cheap flights.
It felt like a win—until we landed and found ourselves paying €80 for transfers we hadn’t budgeted for.
As two broke twenty-somethings, this was a lot of money, especially when I’d promised Callum a “cheap as chips” getaway for our one-month anniversary.
I still have my kidney, don’t worry.
That said, if you’ve already booked your flights, don’t panic. You’re not stuck.
In this post, I’ll show you exactly how to get from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris, what it costs, and whether that bargain flight actually saved you anything at all.

🚐 The Best Ways to Get from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris
So, as I said—not all is lost if you’ve already clicked ‘book’ on those flights. You can still get from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris, you’ll just need to factor the transfer costs into your budget… and maybe decide against buying that Spirit Jersey at Disney. Priorities, right?
Let’s break down your options.
1️⃣ Direct Shuttle Bus (Sometimes… But Not Always)
There is a direct coach from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris… but it’s not quite as simple as it sounds.
The official Aérobus Line A05 runs a direct, non-stop service between Beauvais Airport and Disneyland Paris.
Sounds ideal, right? Except it only runs for part of the year.
- When it runs: June 12 to September 8, 2025
- From Beauvais Airport: Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays
- From Disneyland Paris: Mondays, Saturdays, Sundays
- Journey time: From 2 hours (if traffic’s kind)
- Price: €20.90 one-way per adult (€38.90 return). Children under 12 are €14,90 (€24,90 return), and babies under 2 are about €5 return.
You’ll need to book your tickets online in advance. They’re only valid for the specific day and time you pick—so no hopping on an earlier or later coach if your flight’s delayed.
The bigger issue? There are just 14 departures a week. That’s it. Miss your slot, and you could be stuck waiting hours for the next coach—or worse, having to find another way to the parks entirely.
❌ Outside These Periods: No Direct Shuttle
If you’re travelling outside the June to early September window, the direct shuttle won’t be running—which means you’ll need to take the longer, slightly more complicated route.
Here’s how it works:
➡️ Beauvais Airport
➡️ A03 AeroBus (€17.90 one‑way)
➡️ La Défense
➡️ RER A Train (€2.50)
➡️ Marne‑la‑Vallée Chessy (Disneyland Paris)
Total time: Approximately 3 hours, not counting wait times
So, yes—you’re paying nearly the same as the summer shuttle (€20.90), but with a much longer and more complex journey.
In short, if you’re not visiting during the summer, be ready for a longer, bumpier ride that might make your Ryanair bargain feel a bit less magical.
2️⃣ Private Transfers: The Easiest Option (If Budget Allows)
If you’re after a hassle-free way to get from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris, Prestige Transfer are the easiest choice.
Your driver tracks your flight, helps with bags, and takes you straight to your hotel or the park entrance — no hunting for bus stops or train platforms.
They also track your flight, so even if you’re delayed, your pick-up adjusts automatically. Cars come with child seats included as standard, plus in-car entertainment to keep kids occupied after a long flight.
As a general guide, here’s what you can expect to pay:
- 6am to 10pm: Around €165 one-way for up to 4 adults
- 10pm to 6am: Around €185 one-way
- For larger groups (up to 8 people), you’re usually looking at around €20 extra per ride.
It’s not the cheapest option, but for families, groups, or anyone arriving with too much luggage (been there), it takes all the stress out of arrival day.
3️⃣ Car Hire: Best for Confident Drivers
If you’re comfortable driving in France, hiring a car from Beauvais Airport can work well—especially if you’re planning to explore beyond Disneyland Paris.
The drive takes around 1 hour 20 minutes via the A1 motorway, which includes a €4.60 toll. If you’d rather avoid tolls, you can take the N1 instead, but expect it to add about 20 extra minutes.
Fuel typically costs around €30–€50, depending on the car and your plans.
Parking-wise, if you’re staying in a Disney hotel, you’re in luck: parking is included with your stay.
If you’re staying off-site, though, parking at Disneyland costs €30 per day. That said, many off-site hotels offer free parking and shuttle buses to the parks, which can save you a chunk of money. I’ve rounded up my favourite off-site hotels here.
I normally check Rentalcars.com to compare prices, since it lists most of the big companies and makes it easy to spot a good deal with a low deposit.
That said, driving after a flight isn’t always the relaxing start you’re hoping for.
If you’re confident, hiring a car gives you great flexibility. If not, a transfer might be easier.
4️⃣ Taxis or Ride Apps: Simple, But Time It Right
Taxis are one of the simplest ways to get from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris. You’ll find licensed taxis waiting at the official taxi ranks outside the terminal—always stick to these. Don’t accept rides from anyone approaching you inside the airport.
You can also use ride apps like Bolt or Uber, which will let you choose your pick-up point at the terminal. But here’s the golden rule: do not order your ride until you’ve collected your luggage and are stood at the pick-up point.
If you’re delayed at baggage reclaim and your driver has to wait (or gives up), you’ll still get charged.
For the sake of a 10-minute wait once you’re outside, it’s not worth risking paying for a ride you didn’t take.
As for costs, expect to pay somewhere between €130 and €150 one-way, depending on traffic and time of day. Ride apps are sometimes a little cheaper than taxis, but not always—prices fluctuate based on demand.
Taxis and ride apps are convenient once you’re ready to leave, but they’re not flight-aware like private transfers. No one’s tracking your arrival, and no one’s waiting if you’re delayed so don’t book until you’re able to enter the car.
Just something to keep in mind if your flight’s late.
❓ FAQs About Beauvais Airport and Disneyland Paris
How do you get from Paris Beauvais Airport to Paris city centre?
Beauvais Airport runs a shuttle bus (Line A04) that connects directly to Paris La Villette in the 19th arrondissement—not Porte Maillot like older guides suggest.
The journey takes around 1.5 hours, depending on traffic, and costs €17.90 one-way per adult.
You’ll be dropped at the Parc de la Villette bus station, near the Cité des Sciences (and a McDonald’s, if you’re in urgent need of nuggets).
From La Villette, you can hop on Metro Line 7 or grab a bus to reach central Paris.
👉 Important: Tickets must be booked online in advance, and you’ll need your access code (printed on your ticket) to enter the La Villette bus station.
What’s the distance from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris?
Beauvais Airport is about 120km (75 miles) from Disneyland Paris. By car, that’s roughly 1.5 hours—though buses and public transport can easily stretch the journey to 2–3 hours.
Which is better for Disneyland Paris: Orly or CDG?
If you’re choosing between Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY), I’d personally pick CDG. It’s closer to Disneyland Paris and has more direct transfer options, like the TGV and Magic Shuttle.
That said, Orly is still a good choice—it just usually involves a couple more steps.
I’ve got detailed guides for both airports to help you decide:
Both are miles better than Beauvais, though. No competition there.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve booked Beauvais, don’t worry. You’ll get to Disneyland Paris—just expect it to take longer and cost more than you probably planned. I’ve done it, and while it’s not the smoothest start, it’s definitely doable with a bit of patience.
If you’re still deciding on flights, though, I’d pick CDG or Orly every time. It’s quicker, easier, and honestly just a much better way to start your trip.
