Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy also appearing on platform displays as Marne-la-Vallée Chessy – Parcs Disneyland, is a large combined RER (commuter rail), and high-speed rail station in Chessy, Seine-et-Marne, France, about 30 km (19 mi) east of Paris, located on the LGV Interconnexion Est opened in 1994. The station is inside the Disneyland Paris resort, close to the entrances to the theme parks and at the entrance to Disney Village. The station opened as an extension of RER A in April 1992, in conjunction with the opening of the theme park, with The Walt Disney Company contributing €38.1 million of the €126.5 million cost.[1] The high-speed rail part of the station opened in May 1994, two years after the RER portion of station.
There are direct TGV services to, among others, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nice, Lyon, Rennes, Lille, Nantes, Limoges, Toulouse, Montpellier, Orléans, Grenoble and Brussels. On 29 June 1996, Eurostar began direct services from London Waterloo. Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy is also the rail head used for Paris by Ouigo services. Passengers can travel by TGV from Charles de Gaulle Airport TGV station to this station in less than 10 minutes.
The station has a UK National Rail station code of MCK[2] because it is part of the Eurostar network,[3] although Eurostar is not part of National Rail. As Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy is a Eurostar station, it houses Eurostar check-in areas and border control booths operated by the French Border Police and Customs in a dedicated area on the 2nd floor of the station. Previously, the UK Border Agency operated juxtaposed controls and carried out pre-embarkation immigration checks at the station. However, the UK has discontinued this arrangement. Accordingly, passengers go through UK immigration and customs checks at their arrival station in the UK.[4][5][6]
Eurostar services to station were suspended in June 2023 and are expected to not operate for the rest of 2023. However, passenger can book tickets through Eurostar with a connection at Lille-Europe station.[7]
