Second star to the right... and straight on down the A4 autoroute!

Disneyland Paris didn't choose Ile-de-France by chance, nor did it make its home in the peaceful beet fields of Marne-la-Vallée without realising that this location places it right at the heart of a continent, just a short drive from the city of Paris and its airports and easy to reach from every direction and every neighbouring country.

As a general guide, follow signs to "Marne-la-Vallée". Then, once you get close to the resort, the excitement starts! Iconic Sorcerer Mickey signs like that seen above are placed all the way around Paris' motorway (highway) system, leading you straight to the magic.

Sat-nav instructions

Your satellite navigation device needs the following details to find Disneyland Paris:

• Street: Boulevard du Parc
  Town: Serris
  Department: 77700
  Country: France

Some satnavs may even find the resort automatically just with "Disneyland Paris" or "Disneyland Resort Paris".

The nearest town to specify for Disneyland Paris is Serris. In any case, once you get near enough the resort on the A4 autoroute, the sat-nav is unncessary as the signs are so easy to follow.

Planning your journey

Driving in France

Of course, you must drive on the right in France! But there are also several other requirements of driving here:

• High-visibility vests and warning triangles are compulsory and must be carried on all vehicles. First aid kits and replacement lightbulb sets are not compulsory but are advised.
• Nationality stickers must be applied to rear bumpers for older cars, not already carrying the European stars emblem and nationality as part of its permanent number (licence) plate.
• Headlamp converters are compulsory for British (left-hand drive) cars. Dipped headlights should be used in poor daytime visibility such as heavy rain and fog.
• Speed limits are 130 km/h for motorways, 110 km/h for dual carriageways, 90 km/h for open roads and 50 km/h in towns, unless stated otherwise by roadside signs. In wet weather, the limits become 110 km/h for motorways, 100 km/h for dual carriageways and 80 km/h for open roads.
• Minimum driving age is 18 for a car.
• Always carry your driving licence, vehicle registration document and a certificate of motor insurance. If you do not hold a photocard licence, always carry your Passport to validate the licence.
• All car occupants must wear a seat belt. Children under 10 must not ride in the front passenger seat.

Route Itinerary

Websites such as Via Michelin and Mappy are great to plan your journey itinerary to the resort from further afield, combining a route plan with useful information such as expected journey time and toll charges.

Fuel

An Esso petrol (gas) station is located on the resort, near Disney's Hotel Santa Fe at the exit of the Disney Parks parking lot. All major credit and debit cards are accepted.

Elsewhere, petrol stations may have limited opening hours in rural areas. Some stations have automatic vending pumps, allowing you to pay by credit card 24 hours a day. The cheapest fuel can usually be found at large hypermarkets.

Tolls

Note that tolls operate on many French motorway highways. A toll plaza is located just north of Disneyland Paris on the A4 autoroute, meaning that if you're travelling to or from a Northbound direction to the resort, you will have to pay a small charge to use the road. Remember to carry spare Euro coins with you.

Hire Cars

The official hire car partner of Disneyland Paris is Hertz. Their main office is located within the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy train station at the heart of the resort.
