Staying outside the parks: what it changes for a family
Where to stay when visiting Disneyland Paris with children? It is the first question everyone asks. Here is what an apartment actually gives you compared with a hotel room, and what it asks in return.
A room with a door
Children go to bed on time without condemning the parents to darkness and silence. Both our homes have a separate bedroom on top of the living room.
A real kitchen
Breakfast without queueing, a quiet dinner after the parks, a bottle warmed at any hour. Fully equipped kitchen and dishwasher.
Room to breathe
68 m² at Akela, 46 m² at CasaSimba — somewhere to sit other than a bed when the day has been long.
Quiet, under 10 minutes away
A residential neighbourhood rather than the bustle of the resort, and a direct RER with no changes to go back. Popping home for a nap stays possible.
In return, you have to count the journey: 7 minutes by RER, with the station a 4-minute walk away. That is the one real difference with staying inside the parks.

“Appartamento carino, ben arredato e soprattutto pulito. Raphael è stato sempre presente, con i suoi consigli, dal momento in cui siamo arrivati sino alla fine del soggiorno. Speriamo di tornarci presto, consigliatissimo”

Michiel
“You could really see the host has put a lot of effort and thought into this place. I must admit that the remote communication was one of the best (if not the best) I've ever experienced. The apartment was very clean (even under the beds) and had all the facilities needed. We booked this place in order to visit Disneyland Paris, so the location close to the RER came in handy. Everything went very smooth, parking space was roomy. Overall it exceeded our expectations.”

“Very friendly owner who was always on hand to support with any enquiries that we had. Communication was great throughout before and throughout our stay. Lovely clean room with lots of facilities. Close to the train station for access to Disney and Paris. Love the Disney theming and the little added extras like Disney chocolates for the children. Thank you for a wonderful stay!”

“La casa è ben posizionata (4 minuti a piedi dalla RER A e da servizi principali come carrefour market, banche, boulangerie ecc... in una zona residenziale silenziosa), luminosa ed è splendidamente accessoriata (lavatrice, lavastoviglie, macchina da caffè con capsule e ventilatori). Abbiamo usufruito del parcheggio per l'auto all'interno del garage interno ed è stato molto comodo per scaricare i bagagli. La pulizia era impeccabile e anche i letti (sia in camera da letto che nmil divano letto nel salone) erano comodissimi. La bimba ha inoltre apprezzato dei simpatici giochi, puzzle e fiabe presenti in casa. Abbiamo infine apprezzato molto la presenza costante e mai molesta di Raphael, un host cordiale con il quale ci eravamo già trovati bene in passato soggiornando in un altro appartamento nei paraggi, che ci ha fatto trovare dell'acqua in frigo e dei cioccolatini di benvenuto. Ci vedremo senz'altro di nuovo per il nostro prossimo viaggio a Disneyland”

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to stay inside the parks or outside?
It depends on what you are after. Staying inside the resort puts you a few minutes' walk from the attractions. An apartment outside gives you a bedroom with a door for the children, a kitchen, a living room and space — in exchange for a 7-minute direct RER ride, with the station a 4-minute walk away.
For a family staying several days, that last point often matters most: being able to come back to somewhere quiet, eat without queueing and put the children to bed in a real bedroom.
How far is the nearest station?
Bussy-Saint-Georges station is a 4 to 5 minute walk away. It is served by the RER A, which runs directly to the Disneyland parks and to Paris.
Trains run every 10 to 15 minutes depending on the time of day.
How long does it take to reach Disneyland, La Vallée Village or Paris?
Once on the train, allow:
- 7 minutes to Disneyland Paris (Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station);
- 3 minutes to La Vallée Village (Val d’Europe station);
- 35 minutes to Paris (Châtelet–Les Halles).
How much do the train journeys cost?
A ticket costs €2.50 and is valid for up to 2 hours, with connections to the Paris metro only. Children aged 4 to 9 inclusive pay €1.25 and under-4s travel free.
Note: once you exit a station the ticket is spent — you need a new one to travel again.
Is parking easy?
Yes. On-street parking is free around both apartments (green zone with a disc, provided in the apartment; unrestricted white zone a 3-4 minute walk away).
There is also a free space in a secure underground car park. It sits under the CasaSimba building: CasaSimba guests have priority, and when the space is free we offer it to Akela guests, who stay in the building opposite.
Are there shops near the apartment?
There is a supermarket by the station, a 4-minute walk away, open Monday to Saturday. A convenience store is just 2 minutes from the apartment.
You will also find plenty of restaurants, 3 bakeries and at least 3 pharmacies within a 10-minute walk.
Why book direct rather than through Airbnb or Booking?
Booking from our own site means you do not pay the platforms’ service fees. You also deal with us directly, which makes special requests easier (parking, cot, arrival time).
How does check-in work?
Check-in is self-service, between 3pm and 11pm, and check-out is by 10am at the latest. Detailed instructions are sent to you on the morning of your arrival; for security reasons, access is programmed around the time you gave us.
These times stay flexible: tell us about your plans and we will do our best to fit around them, on arrival as on departure. Do let us know as soon as possible if anything changes, so we can adjust the access.
One exception to that flexibility: no arrival is possible after 11pm. Past that hour we can no longer welcome you remotely or step in if something goes wrong.
Got a question? Write to us
We answer from 8am to 10pm, in English and French. To book direct or simply check a detail, WhatsApp is the fastest way.
