Royal Transfer offers a private transfer service from Disneyland Paris to Fontainebleau for customers who prefer to have a fixed pickup time and for whom a driver is waiting rather than having to arrange train connections in central Paris. The company has a 4.9 rating on Tripadvisor, provides 24 hour phone and chat support, and accepts payment after the journey rather than charging the card in advance. People can cancel their bookings free of charge if their plans change.
The route extends over about 50 km from the Marne-la-Vallée resort area to Fontainebleau, a forest town located south of Paris and most famous for its royal château. Those families departing from a hotel at Disneyland Paris with prams and suitcases, couples who are taking a day trip to the château and the forest, and groups of up to eight people travelling without hiring a car all make use of this transfer service. Taking a private car eliminates the necessity of changing trains in Paris when carrying luggage, and the price is settled before departure so that there are no surprises when dropping off the passengers.
Distance from Disneyland Paris to Fontainebleau
The straight-line distance is about 50 km, mainly via the N6 road all the way to Melun. Royal Transfer drivers take this route by default because it avoids motorway tolls and provides good access to both the pickup points in the Disney Village and the hotels within the resort.
The other option is to take the A6 motorway, which involves an extra distance of about 8 km (bringing the total to approximately 58 km) since it passes around several town centres, such as Melun. Whether drivers choose this route or the other one depends on the current traffic conditions rather than on fixed timetables.
There is also a shorter version for guests residing at hotels on the western part of the resort (for example, at Disney's Hotel New York or Sequoia Lodge), as they are able to join the N6 a little earlier and thus gain a few minutes when compared to those picking up at the Disney Village entrance.
Travel Time with Royal Transfer
The time it takes for the journey is very much dependent on when you travel, as both the N6 and the A6 go through areas that experience local congestion, especially near Melun and at the junction with the Sénart forest.
- Off-peak (mid-morning to early afternoon): around 50–55 minutes
- Peak hours (weekday 7:30–9:30am and 5–7:30pm): 70–85 minutes, mainly due to congestion near Melun
- Early morning (before 7am): around 45 minutes, the fastest window of the day
- Late night (after 10pm): 45–50 minutes, with light traffic but reduced visibility on unlit rural stretches
Before they set off, Royal Transfer drivers check current traffic conditions and choose the faster of the two main routes that day.

Private transfer Rates from Disneyland Paris to Fontainebleau
Royal Transfer charges a single fare for the entire journey, agreed upon at the time of booking, rather than charging by the meter. The fare varies by vehicle size, number of passengers, and amount of luggage, but it won't change if traffic makes the journey take longer.
Sedans suit up to three people with standard luggage, while minivans suit groups of up to eight or families bringing extra bags, buggies, or sports equipment. Both vehicle types offer the same level of service, including a professional driver, air conditioning, and a vehicle that is cleaned and ready before your pickup time. You can get an immediate quote by entering your pickup location, date, and number of passengers on the booking page.

Other Transport Options from Disneyland Paris to Fontainebleau
- Train: There is no direct train service. The normal route is to go into Paris (either at Gare de Lyon or by using the RER A) and then change to a Transilien train bound for Fontainebleau-Avon station, after which you take a short bus or taxi into the town. The total travel time usually exceeds two hours when allowing for the change.
- Bus: Although there are regional bus routes, they are not direct services between the resort and Fontainebleau, most of them requiring a change of bus at either Melun or Paris, and the buses run less frequently on weekends.
- Taxi: At Disney Village and at the hotel taxi ranks, metered taxis can be found. The charge is calculated by the meter and may increase due to traffic delays, just as with a private transfer that has a fixed fare.
- Uber: The service can be used via the app in the Marne-la-Vallée area, but prices may jump around the times when the park opens and closes, and drivers who are not familiar with the access roads to the hotels might need additional directions.
Best Option for Different Travellers
Use a private transfer if you:
- Are travelling with young children, pushchairs, or more than two suitcases
- Have an early park entry or a late evening departure
- Are a group of four or more and want to split one fare
- Want the price fixed before you travel, regardless of traffic
Consider other options if you:
- Are travelling solo with light luggage and have flexible time
- Are comfortable managing a train change in Paris
- Are on a tight daily budget and prioritise the lowest possible fare over convenience
Best Time to travel from Disneyland Paris to Fontainebleau
- In the morning, leaving before 9 a.m. will avoid the worst of the congestion in Melun; this is the best option if you would like to spend a full day in the forest or château of Fontainebleau.
- Midday: During the period from late morning until mid-afternoon the traffic is usually lighter, which makes this the most predictable time to travel.
- In the evening the weekday departures from 5 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. are slower because of the local commuter traffic close to Melun.
- At night, after 10 p.m. the roads are quiet and the journey times are nearly equal to the fastest possible ones, although the rural sections are not illuminated.

Pickup Process
When picking up passengers from hotels at Disneyland Paris, your driver will be waiting for you in the hotel lobby with a name board at the agreed time. For pickups at Disney Village or TGV, we will confirm the meeting point and share it by message the day before travel. Drivers will wait free of charge for a set grace period after the scheduled pickup time to allow for last-minute delays at the park.

- Additional notes: Include any requirements such as a child seat, extra luggage, or a specific meeting point within the resort.
When you've submitted your request, you'll receive a confirmation with your driver's information, and payment will be charged after the journey, not at the time of booking.
