Adapted Transport
Please ask for assistance when you book. If you don’t give advance notice you could experience delays and may not receive the service that you need.
Eurostar operate a direct service from London St Pancras to Disneyland® Paris 4 days a week during term time, 7 days a week during school holidays. Each train has 2 wheelchair spaces and 2 companion seats. These spaces on the train are subject to availability at the time of booking.

Adapted Coaches or Adapted Airport Transfers
We work with a number of coach operators in the UK and France who provide adapted coaches with wheelchair lifts for groups with disabled guests.
Adapted Taxis can be arranged for the group, suitable for wheelchair passengers. The taxis are booked through an outside company.
