They were also forced to encourage guests to take the RER from Central Paris to the resort in their advertising in the form of using the approximate time taken from Nation station to the resort. were not permitted to include parking charges in their park admission ticket (in order to discourage car usage). The 1987 agreement also set how Euro Disneyland would market this new rail link that had been built in order to service the resort (after all, this new line extension and station will have cost the RATP a lot of money, it is only natural they wanted a return on their investment), Euro Disney S.C.A.

RATP, the quickest way to Disneyland Paris. The RER station and TGV station are technically different stations, one half is managed by the RATP (RER) and the TGV half is manged by the SNCF, however the two share the same style of architecture and one can easily traverse between the two stations. should do their best to ensure a direct access to the park from the station (something that new security checks prohibit). and the construction of this station is the amount of constraints put onto the building, for example the agreement states that the station exit and the entry to Disneyland Park could not be more than 150 meters (the final distance is in fact 125 meters) and that Euro Disney S.C.A. What really is interesting about the link between Euro Disney S.C.A. If Disneyland Park is known for it’s castle with its impressive spires, its clear that some inspiration has come from the castled world to this station with its spired front, or according to the architects Arep (JM Duthileul, E Tricaud and F Bonnefille) ‘Our task was to express a real station in an artificial world’, the glass walls of the station are designed in order to show the impressive TGV trains to an audience who may not take the train, this is achieved as when we leave the yellow Disney busses from our hotels, we must pass the stations glass wall in which we are able to see all the way down to the platform, in this respect the station is very much like that of Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle and Lille-Europe. The exterior of the station was to be designed by the winner of an architecture competition run by the RATP (Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens) with Euro Disney S.C.A. – T.G.V.’ outlines an extension of the existing RER A line (previously terminating at Torcy), and the new terminal station which should be able to handle 10,500 passengers per hour.

When the Walt Disney Company and the French State signed their agreement (La convention pour la création et l’exploitation d’Euro Disneyland en France) on the 24th March 1987, the agreement mentioned the creation of a station for the LGV Interconexion Est which is a high-speed line connecting the existing North and South East line, this interconnection opened in May 1994. The station and Disneyland Paris are so intrinsically linked that it is almost difficult to imagine the resort without the station that brings the magic so close that 37 million Europeans are now just one train change away!

Every year millions of people pass through the doors of the Gare SNCF de Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy, the majority end up in the Disneyland Paris parks or hotels, others will just be passing through on their way to other destinations across Europe this is the life of the number one inter-connection station in France.
