Finding affordable accommodation for Disneyland Paris is often the first challenge when planning a family trip. Nights booked right next to the parks can take a large share of the budget, especially when you travel as a group of four, five or eight. There is a simple alternative: stay in the northern suburbs of Paris, in Épinay-sur-Seine or Villetaneuse, in an entire apartment, and travel to Disneyland Paris by public transport or by car.
In this guide, we explain how to plan your stay from our NiaBnb apartments, how long the journey takes and how to enjoy both the parks and Paris without adding to your costs.
Why stay in the northern suburbs for Disneyland Paris?
Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée, east of the capital. Many families do not come only for the parks: they also want to see the Eiffel Tower or spend a day at the Louvre. Staying in the northern suburbs keeps you within easy reach of both.
An entire apartment for the whole family
Our apartments sleep between 4 and 8 guests. Each one has separate bedrooms or a separate living room, a kitchen for preparing meals and a shared space to relax in the evening. After a long day at the parks, children can sleep in their own room while adults unwind in the living room.
Meals prepared at the apartment
Food is a significant part of the budget for a day at Disneyland Paris. With a kitchen available, you can have breakfast before leaving, take a packed lunch for the day and enjoy a quiet dinner in the evening. Shops and supermarkets are within walking distance of each of our apartments.
A price per apartment, not per person
At NiaBnb, the price covers the entire apartment. The larger the group, the lower the cost per person. Our rates start from €65 per night for Les Coteaux and from €90 per night for the Grand Appartement, which sleeps 8, depending on the dates.
How do you get to Disneyland Paris from Épinay-sur-Seine?
Marne-la-Vallée Chessy station, served by RER A, is located right at the entrance to the parks. From our apartments, you have two options.
Travelling by public transport
Allow around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes door to door, with two changes:
- Transilien line H from Épinay-Villetaneuse station to Gare du Nord: about 10 minutes
- RER B or RER D from Gare du Nord to Châtelet-Les Halles: one stop, about 5 minutes
- RER A from Châtelet-Les Halles to Marne-la-Vallée Chessy: about 40 minutes
- From Dumas 2 and the Grand Appartement, RER C is also within walking distance for trips into central Paris
A single Métro-Train-RER ticket covers this journey. If you are staying several days and combining the parks with sightseeing in Paris, the weekly Navigo pass quickly becomes the better option.
Travelling by car
By car, the journey takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on traffic, via the A86 and then the A4 towards Marne-la-Vallée. We recommend leaving early in the morning to avoid traffic and arrive when the parks open. Several of our apartments include a parking space, so you will not need to look for one when you return in the evening.
Which option should you choose?
For a family with young children and a pushchair, the car offers more flexibility, especially for the return journey after the evening show. For a group of adults or teenagers, the RER is simple, frequent and avoids parking fees.
Our apartments suited to a Disneyland Paris trip
Here are the NiaBnb apartments best suited to a family or group stay around Disneyland Paris.
The Grand Appartement for large families
The Grand Appartement with private parking offers 76 m² on the 17th floor with open views. It has 3 separate bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room, sleeping up to 8 guests. Its secure underground parking is a real advantage if you plan to drive to the parks. Rates from €90 per night.

How should you plan your Disneyland Paris stay?
Book early for school holidays
School holidays, long weekends and the Christmas period attract many families. Book your apartment and park tickets several weeks in advance to get the widest choice of dates.
Alternate between park days and Paris days
A four or five-night stay allows two days at the parks and two days in Paris. From the northern suburbs, Gare du Nord is 10 minutes away on Transilien line H, and the Stade de France is 15 minutes away on tram T8. You can explore the capital without changing accommodation.
Plan a rest day
Days at Disneyland Paris are long and tiring, particularly for young children. A quiet morning at the apartment between two park days helps the whole family recharge. You can also use this time to do some shopping nearby, prepare a packed lunch for the next day and check the park opening hours before setting off again.
