Travel Day - Eurostar London To Disneyland Paris

- Taking the Eurostar train service for the first time from St Pancras Station, London to Disneyland Paris.
During January there isn’t a direct service to Disneyland Paris itself so we take the Eurostar to Lille and transfer to the the SNCF train service from Lille to Marne-la-Vallée.
Marne-la-Vallée is the station at the entrance to Disneyland. We were staying at the Hôtel l'Élysée Val d’Europe which is one stop away on the local RER train service and only takes 5-minutes.
We would definitely try the Eurostar train service again as we did find it less stressful than flying and there is no fuss with baggage allowances and liquids etc.
Watch our upcoming vlogs of our two days in Disneyland Paris, exploring the Disneyland Park and the Walt Disney Studios Park for the first time

I love going by train as at least you get to see a bit of the countryside, you can even walk around, eat and its much more spacious than being in a plane, car or bus.
Yes, a good train service is much more relaxing an there's no fuss with baggage weights and liquids etc.
I think with that high speed , you can barely enjoy the views.
@@osamaalmulki4548 The best views are when you are passing cars well in excess of 100 mph
I totally agree, the train is so much better than flying! The Eurostar looks like a pretty great way to travel.
It is quite a good service if you are in London. They now have a direct train service to Amsterdam.
Disneyland Paris is on my list of places to visit. I’ve been to Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida tons (including last week). Can’t wait for the next video!
They are two good little parks, Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland and are right next to each other (think of the size and layout of Universal, Orlando). Good for a 2 or 3-day trip. We got the last weekend of the Christmas decorations and events.
You're right - travelling by train is so much less stressful than flying! Flying's special, but I do like to watch the scenery whizz past on a train.
It was great to travel on a nice relaxing train for a change. Yes, watching the scenery is always interesting (apart from the 30 mins in the channel tunnel).
The Eurostar looks so comfy! Kind of reminds me of the bullet trains in Japan. Great alternative to flying!
It was very comfortable and a quick way to get to France from London.
I’ve been from St. Pancras International To Paris DisneyLand With My Mum And Dad When I Was Younger
Sounds like a great way to get to Disneyland. It's just the kind of trip I'd like to do to feel like a kid again. And WOW the Eurostar sure does fly!
Quick and comfortable to use - 300kmh about 185mph, not too bad compared to most trains.
Fly Drive Explore how long of a train ride was it ?
I've been on the Eurostar before and it felt so easy. It didn't take too long to get there and I didn't get motion sickness which was a plus. I hope you have fun at Disneyland. I've only been to the Flordia one but it was awesome :)
It was a great weekend and definitely less fuss than flying. Like you I need to take sickness tablets on planes but I was fine on the train.
I travelled on the Eurostar from Paris Gare Du Nord to London in 2015. It was a great trip and hope to do it again soon
Yes, the service is really good and much less hassle than flying.
Looks like a pleasant train ride! Disneyland Paris looks beautiful can’t wait to watch that video!
It is very pretty but MUCH colder than Disney in California and Orlando
This was a great train ride. We love traveling in Europe by train. We traveled from Paris to Zurich and all around Switzerland. Hope to travel on the Eurostar next time we are in Europe.
It was our first time on the Eurostar to France although we have been on Le Shuttle |the car and van shuttle). It was really comfortable and unlike airports, the station are in the centre of most cities.
Eurostar trains are quite fast modern and comfortable.. I can't find any disadvantages in this option.
Quick an easy if you are in or close to London.
First of all, it makes the video extra cool that you say its just adults and no children going very funny! And I have never been on that train. Very lovely video :)
The train was much easier than getting the plane if you are in London. No luggage restrictions either.
Such a civilized way to travel compared to flying.
Yes, a good train journey is so much better than flying.
Oh my gosh your too funny. The French Mickey is on strike and Minnie is in the back smoking ciggaretes!!! Hahaha!!!i can’t totally picture it in a Charlie Bebdo style!!!
Yes, we hoped that Gallic French attitude couldn't be suppressed by Disney.
Can't beat a Euro train ride with vieeews
Good train travel is much better than going by plane.
Very cool Video! Looks like the perfect way to get to Disney Paris! We just love taking trains and the trains in Europe are great! Looking forward to your video of the park.
Yes, the trains were really good. Fast too, much less stressful than flying and no limiting baggage allowance.
*BREAKING NEWS*
EUROSTAR is permanently cancelling the route: London to Disney. If you like to go, you need to book, go and return BEFORE 5 June 2023. No more trains after that.
There are a few alternative train routes, but all of them include at least one change in France, and the least inconvenient is Eurostar to Lille and then change to a French TGV train straight to Disney. However, remember that if you are teavelling with kids you will need to get all of your stuff off in Lille, and then back onto another train, and the same thing back. This take away the convenience of getting on in London and then not get off until Disney.
From my own experience: don't change trains in Paris, if you are going to Disney. That include a change of train stations as well as getting on and off the Underground... a real nightmare!!!
I absolutely love Eurostar trains, especially when travelling to Disneyland Resort Paris with family or friends. Aswell especially when its a direct train, but then again, even if it is indirect, probs still the same? Slightly different, nice video by the way. Really enjoyed the watch, its good seeing videos like this aswell peoples different experiences, never stayed offsite which I hope to one day do, always and every time visited stayed onsite in the Disney hotels, really expensive but worth it. Really is the happiest place on Earth currently in my opinion. Have both Liked & Subscribed & look forward to seeing more videos like this in the future. 😀👍
Thanks, we can't wait to go away again. We did stay onsite when our son was 8, he's now 23! Travel by Eurostar was really convenient and much less hassle than flying.
Oh this is so exciting. I think going without kids would be great, kids are hectic! Getting the tickets seems so easy too, cannot complain at that. That bad man ruining your shot, haha!
Yes that bad man, what does he think he is doing quietly minding his own business while reading the paper.
Looks a lot nicer than the Italian trains we've been on lately - including one that went on strike mid-journey! Look forward to seeing some of Disneyland Paris, as I only have vague memories of Disneyland LA!
Did the Italians just stop the train between stations? We've just uploaded the first Disneyland vid, good fun but I doubt it will be on the UNESCO heritage list in the near future.
Worse actually - the train just terminated at a tiny hamlet halfway between Turin and Genoa! And of course nobody can explain what's going on. All the locals rolled their eyes and smoked cigarettes on the platform for about 2 hours before another train turned up and off we went again!
Is there a reason why there isn’t a direct service to Disneyland Paris during January?
From the looks of it taking the Eurostar train isn't that bad at all. Looks clean and pretty quiet. Will be waiting for your DISNEYLAND video! 😍
There doesn't seem to be a direct service during January, I think it starts in February.
Haha... Mickey Mouse is on strike! Great vlog, I get cranking when traveling sometimes too ;)
Mickey Mouse wasn't wearing a beret or carrying a baguette. A definite lack of stereotypes.
Its almost as if they've stopped caring!
Is check in at St Pancras the same as an airport type check in, do they take your luggage? Thank you,
We went standard class and they did not take the cases, we wheeled our own suitcases onboard (full-sized cases). I'm not sure if it's any different first class.
@@flydriveexplore Thanks for the reply. We went years ago (12+) from Waterloo to DLP and I couldn't remember the protocol for bags! Booked for next month for a few days, fingers crossed!
Is this standard seating or premium seating?
We went standard class.
Great video.Would love to live closer to a Eurostar service. Living in Manchester we opted to fly to save time as our trip was quite short. Would like to try out the Eurostar next time though if we were going on a longer trip
We live in Wales so it is a bit awkward for us but we were already visiting London so took a little trip while we were there. It was very quick and easy.
Is it possible to return to London the same way?
Yes, you can return the same way. During the school holidays there is also a direct service straight to Disneyland.
Fly Drive Explore thank you very much
How long on the eurostar train please ?
It took about 90 mins to Lille and about another 90 mins to Disneyland.
i hope you enjoy
Yes, it was a good trip
I cant remember when we went I think it was 3 4 years ago and we went through the euro tunnel but we are thinking about going again but by the euro star
It was quite quick and very comfortable, get a direct train if you can.
@@flydriveexplore I think we are geting a GWR train from Cameron to london then from london to Disney
@@sophiemudge5529 Sounds, good. We had to change in Lille as we went out of season and the direct Eurostar train from London to Disneyland wasn't running
do thay go straight to Disney
They run direct trains during busy times like school holidays although our change at Lille was straight forward. The station in Disneyland is right by the entrance to the park for all trains.
This video was helpful.
How similar is check in and security at St Pancras vs any airport?
Do you need a passport?
Are you guys from Swansea?
The security is similar but you don't have the luggage restrictions and you can take liquids and bottles etc. You do need a passport as you go through two checks, UK border and then by a French border officer (one after the other), but then, when you get off the train in France, you simply get off the train, there are no arrival checks.
We are not from Swansea but not a million miles away.
Fly Drive Explore thank you for replying :) and did i hear that during January theres a stop over in Leon to get to Disney? Is that every January or just when you guys went?
Love the vids :)
G.M. D I understand I am late but just some tips from an 11 going on 12 year old (me). I did Eurostar on my 9th birthday and I was smart enough to bring toiletries in a carry on bag like hand sanitiser and mouth spray which were quite handy for me since I eat a few bits on a long train, hand sanitiser to clean my hands and mouth spray so the food didn’t stick into my teeth. Buy some wet wipes when you are at the station, they are quite cheap. Also, bring a book or something to do.
When you board the train, if you have children, sometimes you tell them that the train will be a long way, why not plan a little routine before your journey. Once you arrive, the only thing you will want to do is get through the security quickly, the people at security have all dealt with that one disrespectful person, be polite and they might give you some sneaky fast passes. Also when you arrive, the motel that my family stayed in was not very big nor tidied properly, we did not complain at all but we had to go and buy some wipes and house cleanser, we felt that they already provided us nicely so we cleaned it ourselves. Hope you got a few tips, thanks.

Nice. Was it costly? Was changing trains in France easy without confusion? Would like to take Mrs and our 3 yr old
Clean station, plenty of signs and there were people to ask. We had to double check just to make sure but our change wasn't a rush and should be OK with a family. There are trains that go straight to Disney but only during the school holiday and peak periods.
Just to add, this trip was in January so very reasonable and not very busy although it can be very cold.
@@flydriveexplore thanks 😁
Can the Eurostar go to Germany
There is not a Eurostar service to Germany. You will have to change to another service.
How long did it take you to get to Paris
It took about 90 mins to Lille and another 90 mins to Disneyland. The direct service is about half an hour quicker.
How long is the journey roughly
Hello, it took about 90 mins to Lille and about another 90 mins to Disneyland.
Great video, I just uploaded our journey to Disneyland Paris from NYE. We connected through Lille, but had a direct service coming back on Jan 3rd 2018. A couple more episodes to come, check them out on my channel and let me know what you think!Hope you had a wonderful time! Mike
How long did this journey take you? Snoopy is the dodgy one. Micke Mouse is the victim....
Never trust Snoopy, far too quiet. It took about 90 mins to Lille and about another 90 mins to Disneyland.
