no as i said above you dont have to pre book.. it guarantees you a seat if you pre book, a little like our own apex train reservation, but you dont need a seat there are benches next to the luggage storage areas or you can sit on the steps (most TGVs are double deckers) Simply go to the TGV office and buy for the next train... If you really cant stand for the 10mins and are worried, enter the train via the bar carriage, and sit in the bar...Why are our trains not like this..grrrr.

When we went the TGV worked out cheaper than the shuttle bus. We flew BA from Edinburgh then caught an airport transfer/shuttle bus to the TGV station. Bought our tickets at the station and booked a return time slot for 4 days later. Helpful staff confirmed we didnt need a ticket for our 3 year old daughter as under 5s travelled free (as compared to the bus shuttle) so even bigger savings.
Hopped on the train and arrived at Marne-le-Vallee 9 minutes later.
Even mamanged to change our return booking to a later train with no problems whatsoever.

Wouldn't transfer any other way now -

Go on Bev you can do it
I'm going in December and think I'll try the train, it sounds like the way to transfer to Disney.

Do you have to get a shuttle bus to the TGV station or can you walk terminal to terminal? (Flying with Easyjet, which is in a different terminal to TGV I think)

Is a return cheaper than 2 singles and how much did it cost?

Are there multiple platforms and is it clear enough which one serves Disney? (eg in centre of Paris they have little Disney Ears to guide you )

Just don't want to end up in Lille or Paris!

Logan, the TGV is in the same terminal as Air France. You could ring/ internet for you tickets now I think and check singles /return prices.It's very quick on the TGV only 15mins ish! The Q for the Disney bus is Packed and takes ages. You get off at Marne La Vallee, they're not big on Mickey/ Disney signage either

Just ask at TGV station otherwise

Just wanted to add some info on getting to DLP using ferry and car.

We take the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre with LD Lines. We only live 25 mins from the ferry port so it makes sense for us. It leaves at 11pm.

They do really comfortable sleeper seats which are huge. We take sleeping bags and ear plugs and get a reasonable nights sleep. We are off the boat and on our way by 8:30am the next morning.

From Le Havre it takes about 2hrs 30 to get to DLP. We usually stop half way at a service station to pick up coffee and croissants.

We are going again during Feb half term this year and we have paid £245 for our car and 4 passengers and sleeper seats both ways. You don't really need them on the return but they are just so nice to relax in. The return journey is quicker and leaves at around 2:30 pm so you have plenty of time to get back to the port. The boat docks in Portsmouth at about 9:30pm and we are usually home by 10pm.
