How long before Eurostar leaves Paris do I have to be at the station?

Hi everyone

First trip to DLP with my daughter on 23rd Nov-26th Nov and I was just wondering how long we can leave it on our last day before we have to be at the station to get the Eurostar home. I have booked Disney Express so I'm assuming we can squeeze every last drop out of the parks before we need to leave as our baggage will be waiting at the terminal for us. We're booked on the 15.52 train so what time would you arrive at the station to make sure you don't miss it?

Thanks :-)

Get there around an hour before, check in can be chaos there

Yes, at least an hour before. Queues move slowly. Be warned, you are penned in like cattle and it is not a nice experience. Compared to the lovely spacious area at St Pancras, MLV is a bit of a shock.

Perfect - thanks! That give us till about 2.30pm in the parks on our last day. Although the description of the queue at the station sounds pretty horrendous :-(

Is that a direct train or via Lille (the time to me suggests indirect)? If it's via Lille you don't have to check in at MLV as it's a domestic train first. You check in for the Eurostar when you get to Lille. If that's the case you only have to be at MLV about 30 mins before the train.
