Getting from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris
Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA) is located approximately 125 km from Disneyland Paris, making it the furthest of the three Paris-area airports. Despite the distance, many visitors fly into Beauvais due to low-cost airlines like Ryanair offering competitive fares. Here's everything you need to know about the transfer from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris.
Journey Time: Beauvais to Disneyland Paris
By private car or taxi, the journey takes approximately 1h20 to 1h45 depending on traffic. The route goes via the A16, the A1, the A104 and then the A4 motorway to Marne-la-Vallée.
There is no direct public transport link between Beauvais and Disneyland Paris. If you use public transport, you'll need to take the Beauvais shuttle bus to Paris (Porte Maillot), then connect to the RER A — a total journey of 3.5 to 4 hours.
Transfer Prices: Beauvais to Disneyland Paris 2026
- Saloon car (up to 4 passengers): from €160 fixed price
- Van (up to 7 passengers): from €180 fixed price
- Minibus (8+ passengers): quote on request
These are per-vehicle prices, not per person. A family of 4 sharing a van at €180 pays just €45 each — far cheaper than buying individual public transport tickets with multiple connections.
Your Transfer Options from Beauvais Airport
Option 1: Private Transfer (Recommended)
A private transfer with MickeyCabs is the most comfortable, direct option for families and groups. Benefits include:
- Door-to-door service from the arrivals hall
- No connections or waiting around
- Child seats available on request at no extra cost
- Fixed price confirmed at booking
- Flight monitoring — your driver waits if your flight is delayed
- Air-conditioned vehicles with ample luggage space
Option 2: Shuttle Bus + Public Transport
The official Beauvais shuttle runs to Porte Maillot in Paris (approx. 1h15, ~€17/person). From there, you'll need to take the metro or RER to connect to the RER A line to Marne-la-Vallée. Total journey time: 3.5–4 hours, plus the cost of additional tickets and the hassle of managing luggage on public transport.
Option 3: Car Rental
Possible but rarely cost-effective for a one-way transfer: rental fees, insurance, and Disneyland Paris parking (€30/day for a car) typically make this more expensive than a private transfer.

Beauvais Airport: What You Need to Know Before You Arrive
Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA) is located approximately 125 kilometres from Disneyland Paris, northwest of the capital — further than both CDG (45km) and Orly (48km). It is used primarily by Ryanair, which operates flights from across Europe, making it a popular choice for budget travellers.
However, Beauvais has a reputation for long transfer times, and with good reason. The airport itself is small and straightforward — arrivals and departures share a compact terminal — but the journey to Disneyland Paris requires careful planning.
Getting from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris: All Options
Option 1: Private Transfer (MickeyCabs)
A private transfer from Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris with MickeyCabs takes approximately 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes, depending on traffic on the A16, A1, A104 and A4 motorways. Your driver meets you outside arrivals — there is no complex terminal to navigate at Beauvais — and drives you directly to your hotel.
- Price: From €160 for a sedan (1–4 passengers), from €180 for a Mercedes V-Class van or similar (5–7 passengers)
- Journey time: 1h20–1h45 direct
- Child seats: Free on request
- Flight tracking: Included — Ryanair delays are common at Beauvais, and we track every flight
Option 2: Beauvais Shuttle + RER (Public Transport)
The standard public transport route from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris involves three stages: the Beauvais shuttle bus to Paris Porte Maillot (1 hour 15 minutes), the Paris Metro from Porte Maillot to Châtelet (30 minutes), and the RER A from Châtelet to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy (40 minutes). Total journey time: 3 hours minimum — often 3.5–4 hours with waiting times.
- Shuttle price: €17 per person (buy in advance online)
- Metro + RER: €2.55 per person, a single fare whatever the distance (checked 07/09/2026)
- Total cost for 4 people: €120–€160
- Total journey time: 3–4 hours
For a family of 4, the cost difference versus a private van is minimal — while saving over 2 hours of travel with luggage and tired children.
Option 3: Renting a Car
Car rental is available at Beauvais Airport from Europcar, Hertz and local providers. The drive to Disneyland Paris takes 1 hour 20 minutes via the A16, A1, A104 and A4 motorways. However, you will need to factor in the cost of returning the car, parking at Disneyland Paris (€30/day for a car) and fuel. For short stays, a private transfer is typically more cost-effective.
Ryanair Delays at Beauvais: What to Expect
Beauvais Airport has a significantly higher rate of delays than CDG or Orly, partly because Ryanair operates a high frequency of short-turnaround flights. Delays of 1–3 hours are not unusual, particularly on busy routes and in summer.
MickeyCabs tracks every flight in real time. If your Ryanair flight is delayed, your driver will adjust the pickup time automatically — you will not be charged any waiting fee for delays beyond your control. We simply ask that you contact us via WhatsApp if the delay exceeds 3 hours so we can reschedule if necessary.
Beauvais Airport: Practical Guide
Beauvais-Tillé is a simple, single-terminal airport with limited facilities. Here is what to expect:
- Arrivals: One arrivals area, well signposted. Baggage claim is quick as the terminal is small.
- Car rental: Available outside the terminal building
- Shops and cafés: Limited — do not expect CDG-level facilities. Grab food and drinks on arrival if needed.
- ATM: Available in the departures area, not always in arrivals
- Wi-Fi: Free, available throughout the terminal
- MickeyCabs pickup point: Outside the arrivals exit. Your driver will be waiting with a name sign.
Beauvais to Disneyland Paris: The Route
The drive from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris follows the A16 motorway south from Beauvais to the A1, then continues via the A104 ring road towards Marne-la-Vallée. The route passes through the northern suburbs of Paris before emerging on the A4 motorway towards Disneyland Paris.
In light traffic (typically mornings and evenings on weekdays), the journey takes 1 hour 15 minutes. During peak hours or on busy weekends, allow up to 1 hour 45 minutes. The MickeyCabs booking form allows you to indicate your preferred arrival time so we can time your pickup accordingly.
Families Arriving at Beauvais: Practical Tips
- Book your transfer before you fly. Driver availability at Beauvais is more limited than at CDG or Orly, particularly on late evening Ryanair flights. Book at least 48 hours in advance.
- Download the Ryanair app. Real-time updates on delays are faster via the app than via airport announcements.
- Pack a snack bag for the car. Children who have been on a delayed Ryanair flight do not want to wait. Having snacks in your hand luggage means you can eat during the transfer.
- Check in for your return flight early. Ryanair charges for check-in at the airport. Do it the night before from your hotel.
- Allow extra time on departure day. The shuttle bus from Porte Maillot to Beauvais is the most common missed-flight scenario for families leaving Disneyland Paris. Book a private transfer for the return journey as well — we pick you up from your hotel entrance.
Frequently Asked Questions: Beauvais to Disneyland Paris
How far is Beauvais Airport from Disneyland Paris?
Beauvais-Tillé Airport is approximately 125 kilometres from Disneyland Paris, measured by road. It is the furthest of the three Paris-area airports from the resort — CDG is 40km and Orly is 48km. The journey by private transfer takes 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 40 minutes.
Why is the transfer from Beauvais more expensive than CDG?
The higher price reflects the longer distance — 125km versus 40km for CDG. The journey is more than twice as long, requiring more fuel and driver time. At €160 for a sedan, the rate per kilometre is actually lower than many standard taxi rates.
Is there a direct bus from Beauvais to Disneyland Paris?
No direct bus service exists between Beauvais Airport and Disneyland Paris. The Beauvais shuttle goes to Paris Porte Maillot only. From there you must take the Metro and then the RER A, adding approximately 1.5–2 hours to the total journey time.
Can MickeyCabs pick us up from Disneyland Paris and take us back to Beauvais?
Yes — we offer return transfers from Disneyland Paris (or your Disney hotel) to Beauvais Airport. The return price is the same as the arrival transfer: from €160 for a sedan, from €180 for a van. Book both legs at the same time for simplicity.
What time should we book our transfer from Beauvais?
We recommend booking your pickup based on your scheduled flight arrival time plus approximately 30 minutes for disembarkation and baggage collection at Beauvais. For a flight landing at 14:00, book the transfer for 14:30. If the flight is delayed, we track it and adjust automatically.
Comparing the True Cost of a Budget Flight via Beauvais
Many travellers choose Beauvais Airport specifically because Ryanair offers lower ticket prices than flights into CDG or Orly. This is a legitimate saving — but it is important to calculate the true total cost of the journey, including ground transport, before concluding that the Beauvais option is cheaper overall.
Here is an example calculation for a family of 4 flying from London Stansted to Beauvais versus London Heathrow to CDG:
| Cost element | Beauvais route | CDG route |
|---|---|---|
| Flight (4 people) | varies by date and airline | varies by date and airline |
| Ground transfer to Disneyland | €180 (MickeyCabs van) | €115 (MickeyCabs van) |
| Journey time (airport to park) | 1h20–1h45 | 45–55 min |
| Total transport cost | €375 | €405 |
In this example, the total saving via Beauvais is €30 — for a journey that takes significantly longer and involves the additional risk of Ryanair delays. For some families this trade-off is worthwhile; for others, particularly those with very young children or tight connections, paying the slightly higher total cost for a CDG flight makes more sense.
The calculation shifts further towards CDG if you use public transport from Beauvais (3.5–4 hours, multiple connections with luggage) versus a private transfer from CDG. The key point is to calculate total journey cost — not just the flight ticket price — before deciding which airport to use.
Returning to Beauvais Airport: Planning Your Departure
The return journey from Disneyland Paris to Beauvais Airport requires careful timing. Ryanair flights often depart in the morning or early afternoon from Beauvais, and the airport's limited facilities mean it is worth arriving with time to spare rather than rushing.
MickeyCabs recommends the following pickup schedule for return transfers to Beauvais:
- For flights departing before 10am: Depart Disneyland Paris at least 3 hours 30 minutes before departure time
- For flights departing 10am–4pm: Depart at least 3 hours before departure (the A1 motorway can be slow northbound in mid-morning)
- For flights departing after 4pm: Depart at least 3 hours before departure; allow extra time if departing during the afternoon rush on weekdays
Your MickeyCabs driver will confirm the exact recommended pickup time when you book, based on your specific flight details and current traffic data.
Beauvais Airport: Frequently Missed Details
Beauvais-Tillé Airport is a simple airport but there are a few details that catch travellers out, particularly those using it for the first time:
- The airport is not in Beauvais city: Beauvais-Tillé Airport is located approximately 3 kilometres north of Beauvais town centre. If you are arriving by car or taxi from Beauvais itself, ensure you are going to the airport (aéroport) and not the town centre.
- The Beauvais shuttle departs from Paris Porte Maillot, not from Beauvais town: If you are using the return shuttle to get back to the airport, the bus departs from Porte Maillot in Paris, not from Beauvais city centre.
- Check-in desks close 40 minutes before departure: Ryanair check-in desks at Beauvais close strictly 40 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Given delays and queues, aim to be through security at least 45–60 minutes before departure.
- Bag drop queues can be long: Beauvais handles high passenger volumes for its size. On busy summer days, bag drop queues can take 30+ minutes. Factor this into your airport arrival time.
- Food options after security are limited: There are cafés and a small duty-free area past security, but do not count on a sit-down meal. If travelling with hungry children, eat before you go through security.
Why Families Choose MickeyCabs for the Beauvais Transfer
The Beauvais-to-Disneyland transfer is one of MickeyCabs' most requested routes, precisely because it is one of the most logistically challenging. Parents who have experienced the Beauvais-shuttle-plus-RER route once rarely choose to repeat it — particularly with young children, large suitcases and the emotional weight of a long-anticipated Disney holiday.
With MickeyCabs, the experience is straightforward: step off the plane, collect your bags, walk outside, find your driver with your name sign, load into a comfortable Mercedes vehicle, and be at your Disney hotel within 1 hour 40 minutes. No metro maps, no ticket machines, no escalators with pushchairs.
For many families, this simplicity is worth every euro of the transfer cost — especially when the per-person cost for a group of 4–6 works out comparable to public transport anyway.
