Train travel from Disneyland to Lucerne

Can someone help with train travel. My family are staying in Paris March/April 2009 for 3 nights, catching the RER A train to Disneyland for 3 nights staying at the Disneyland Resort.





Is there a train station at the resort where we can catch the TGV or Eurostar to Lucerne Paris?





Thanks for any info available

Yes, Disneyland has its own TGV station called %26quot;Marne-la-Vallée.%26quot; Do you want to go to Lucerne (Luzern), Switzerland? If so, you%26#39;ll probably have better luck taking the train from inside Paris. Direct trains from Disney are rather rare.





Take the RER A to Auber. Transfer for Line 7. Take Line 7 to Gare de l%26#39;Est (Direction: La Courneuve - 8 Mai 1945).





You can buy tickets online at TGV-europe.com

YES...and NO...



YES...there is a TGV station at DLP--MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY TGV



NO.....though you can board a TGV train at the MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY TGV station, you%26#39;ve got to go somewhere else to %26#39;start%26#39;.





The %26#39;..fastest..%26#39; routing is MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY TGV...AÉROPORT CDG2 TGV....STRASBOURG...BASEL-SBB....LUZERN in approx. six(6) hours, with five(5) train changes en route.





The most %26#39;..direct..%26#39; routing, with the fewest train changes en route is probably MARNE LA VALLÉE-CHESSY TGV...LYON-Part Dieu...GENEVE...LUZERN in approx. 7:30 hrs...with four(4) train changes en route.





There are 08:24 AM and 12:24 PM train from PARIS-Gare de l%26#39;Est to BASEL-SBB...then transfer trains to LUZERN in 4:50 hrs,





Rather than use the SNCF (French National Railways) web site--



www.voyages-sncf.com/leisure/fr/launch/home/





for trains, routes and schedules, %26#39;..tinker..%26#39; with the DIE BAHN (German National Railways) site--



www.bahn.de/international/view/en/index.shtml





Since the fastest, most direct, least hassle routing to LUZERN runs from PARIS-Gare de l%26#39;Est...perhaps you should consider reversing your proposed itinerary...and spend your first few days at DLP...then transfer into Paris for your last few days...before departing ofr LUZERN from PARIS-Gare de l%26#39;Est ??
