We are flying out to CDG in 2 weeks time and will be staying at Adagio City Aparthotel Val d%26#39;Europe.Family of 6, wondering what is the best/quickest/cheapest way to get to the hotel from CDG. Not sure which terminal(air lingus).I%26#39;d be Grateful for any advise.

I%26#39;m not sure if this is fastest, but you can get the RER B suburban train into Paris and connect at Chatelet/les Halles to RER A toward Marne-la-Vallee. Val d%26#39;Europe is the stop before Marne-la-Vallee where Disneyland Paris is. It would be a something over an hour%26#39;s train travel. All of the information is on the RATP site.

as Paris regular Sarastro posted in his 1 April response to the same question (sorry for plagiarizing, Sarastro, but it%26#39;s so clearly and concisely written, there%26#39;s no way to improve on it!):

Most hotels have transportation from DLP/Chessy. There is a free %26quot;pink shuttle bus%26quot; that connects a large number of hotels in the area. This free shuttle can be very crowded and difficult to board at times, particularly with luggage and children.

Remember that Sunshine%26#39;s forward is directions to Marne-la-Vallee; LEEDS is going to Val d%26#39;Europe, so would require another short trip one station back towards Paris. There may be inexpensive bus connections from Marne-la-Vallee back to Val d%26#39;Europe as many Disney guests seem to stay in Val. We%26#39;ve only visited these areas coming out from Paris on the RER--we often spend a Sunday at Val d%26#39;Europe as the mall is open when most shopping in Paris is closed!

Not necessarily -- many hotels have shuttles to/from Marne la Vallee/Chessy station -- or it would be a very, very short cab ride (less than 10km)
The towns here, since the arrival of Disney and the mall at Val d%26#39;Europe, are an example of gerrymandering at its finest. As you drive around the Disney complex and the Val d%26#39;Europe area, you pass through several little towns -- Montevrain, Chessy, Serris, Magny-le-Hongre, and Bailly-Romainvillers -- they all have little chunks of the commercial areas, so I%26#39;m sure they%26#39;re all duking it out over the tax revenue!
Check with the Aparthotel people and ask them what they recommend -- but all of the places I%26#39;ve named are within a few kilometres of each other -- so go to the MLV/Chessy station, and take it from there.

I actually pulled up the website for this hotel property -- it says that there is a free navette (shuttle bus or van) from Disneyland Paris -- the front gates are just a stone%26#39;s throw from the station, so it%26#39;s a fairly safe bet that you can catch the shuttle from the train station to your aparthotel.

Thank you all very much for your replies. I will have a look at all the options and see what is going to be the best for us. I appreciate your help.
