Apols if this has been asked before, but is it possible to do Disneyland Paris as a daytrip on Eurostar from London?

Has anyone done it? Is it possible? Esp with a four year old. What sort of time trains are we talking? I really can't be asked to stay overnight, it's too much of a hassle to book and am cheap! Would appreciate ANY advice..

I'm sure you could do it, you'd be shattered by the end of it though! We actually did a 3 day trip, but we we're in the park by about 11 local time and the train home was around 10pm iirc.

You could. The earliest direct train gets to disney around 12 noon, latest home is around 7pm. The station is right outside the park gates. You could go earlier/return later but would have to change somewhere. Look on the eurostar website for the timetables.

I think if you are going to go it is prob worth staying. If the queues are long you will not get much time actually doing things.

This is what i'd do:
Stay overnight in an on-site hotel. If you do this you can leave your bag at the station and it will be delivered to the hotel, leaving you free to go straight into the park. Get your bearings, watch the parade, have a meal in disney village then back to hotel. Up early next day, hotel will deliver bags to station and you can go straight to the park, maybe have a character breakfast,pick up fast passes for the busy rides. Then have some tea and go back to the station for your journey home.

never been to disney in paris, but I'd stay. No way are you going to get much of a disney park done in one day. It's not worth paying all that to get there for the sake of 7 hours in the park neither.

you won't get much done. not sure what the times are now as the trains all go from st pancras now rather than waterloo but would have thought at earliest train will get there about 12 which would mean leaving home practically in the dead of night.

the trains run at 7 back to the UK but you have to be there 45 minutes before which means leaving the park an hour before so you would get about 5 hours max in the park and that's without stopping to eat.

bad idea IMO
