3. Easy Travel from the UK (No Jet Lag Required!)

One of the best things about choosing Disneyland Paris? It’s super accessible from the UK, no long flights, and no jet lag.

Here’s how to get there with ease:

Eurostar: Travel from London to Disneyland Paris (Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy) with the station just steps from the parks. Perfect for relaxed, eco-conscious travel.
Flights: Quick journeys from most major UK airports to Paris Charles de Gaulle take just over an hour. Add a private transfer, shuttle, or TGV train for a smooth ride to the magic.
Driving: Great for groups! Just over 3 hours from Calais means flexibility, especially if you want to bring snacks, outfits, or hen party props.

It’s close enough for a weekend but magical enough to feel like a proper escape. Ideal for a hen party that fits around busy wedding schedules!

Here’s why it works so well:
