Hi, I am visiting Disneyland Paris in October and would like to travel at least one way by train and wondered if the eurail pass would work for me?

I want arrive at Disneyland on 1st October so rough idea of timetable would be

29th to 30th Alicante to Barcelona 

30th to 1st  Barcelona to ? & ? to Marne-la-Vallée 

Would a trip in reverse also work?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Advance tickets will likely be cheaper as Interrail requires extra reservations on high-speed trains. The cross-border TGV is particularly expensive.

Maybe for a return journey it'd be better value but I'm not sure.

According to current timetables (which shouldn't change much) Barcelona - Marne-la-Vallée is best done like this :

- AVE Barcelona-Sants - Lyon Part-Dieu 08:19 - 13:20

- TGV Lyon Part-Dieu - Marne-la-Vallée TGV 14:00 - 15:46

The earlier you buy the tickets the cheaper it will be.

EDIT : it's possible to do Alicante - Paris in a long travel day but I'd suggest splitting the journey (like you're planning to) or taking a night train from the border.


Thank you, I'll have another look. 


Do you happen to know how far in advance tickets are available? Where is the best place to get tickets?


The AVE to Lyon will be on renfe.com. They release dates in batches, you can't really guess other than check regularly.

TGVs from Barcelona or Lyon will be on sncf-connect.com. Have a look at https://www.sncf-connect.com/aide/l-ouverture-des-ventes
