Carnet of tickets Disneyland to Paris

Carnets are ten-packs of t+ tickets. They're good anywhere on the metro and on the rer only within the city limits. They're no help to and from Disneyland.

My experience only goes back to November so forgive me if my advice is dated but it is way easy to get from Paris to Disney on a carnet, which I did on accident. What is not easy is getting out of the train station. I got lucky and had a police officer let us out. That was just dumb luck. I had to buy the RER ticket back though. Make sure you get the proper tickets into/out of Paris. On another completely unsolicited topic, if you know what dates you are visiting the park and don't want to eat the worst feed ever introduced to the French, book your restaurant reservations way in advance. I just wanted cocktails at Pirates and was put on a 3 hour wait! Enjoy your time! Keep an open mind if you are comparing it to Orlando though.

Leslie your advice /post is confusing,, what do you mean get to Disney on a "carnet".. I know what a carnet is,, its simply 10 one way tickets either for RER or metro WITHIN PARIS sold at a discount. What you are advising is in fact illegal.It sounds like you just got lucky. Travelling without the correct type of ticket can get you fined on the spot.. and it happens quite a bit. Careful what you post

Relax a bit pat. I'm posting my own personal experience that it is easy to do and not purposely and I clarify it's not the correct way to do it. Not sure what the confusion is here. I'm careful what I post.

First, a carnet is a bundle of t+ tickets, it's not an object in itself. With one of these tickets you can enter the metro/rer system anywhere in the city and physically ride to the far end of any rer line. What you can't do with that ticket is make it work in the exit gate because you didn't pay the higher fare. What happens next varies from what happened to Leslie to summary execution, but it's generally more expensive than just having to cough up the fare differential.

Ditto what Ed said. I was just trying to relay an actual personal experience of a public transportation faux pas I made. Next time I will link to something I googled or tell them not to go to Disney Paris :) lol

It's about 50 euros fine per person, often on-the-spot. The post was confusing because it wasn't clearly worded. The first part sounds like it's advocating how to cut corners using a metro ticket. Glad the poster made her intention clearer in later posts.

Actually, a carnet is a group of 10 of the same tickets. Most people only buy them for the t+ in Paris, so they don't realize that you can buy a carnet of other tickets. I can buy a carnet of train tickets from Paris-Fontainebleau at a discount off the individual price. (Used to do this until they raised the price high enough that a Mobilis became cheaper than 2 one-ways from a carnet). That said, just the other day I went looking at all the ticket options/prices available to me since we are planning several days in Paris shortly. I was shocked to find that after 3 days, the Paris Visite Zone 1-5 is less expensive than individual Mobilis passes for zones 1-5. The Navigo Decouverte is a better deal - but only if your visit matches up with the Monday - Sunday timing of the weekly pass. I think when you read " Paris Visite is not a good value" it is in regards to just traveling within PAris. People aren't looking at travel within all 5 zones of the Transilien network. And if anyone reading this has children, the Paris Visit still remains a great option (any # of zones) for a child ages 10-11 as they are too old for a demi-tarif ticket, but still a child fare on the Paris Visite. Better value than the Mobilis, which does not have a child fare option on weekdays. (But you can get a Ticket Jeune on weekends for a great price) Net: Get the Paris Visite for your trip. Zones 1-5 all covered, plus the discount on the Disney tickets (although I still contend that you can get better prices on the tickets if you look around. We've bought tickets here: http://www.paris-whatelse.com/z4685e2f23829b11256_fr-Disneyland-Paris-Chessy.aspx)

Thank you everyone for your replies. Dina your reply was most helpful. I have also noted that the Paris Visite pass for our trip is the most advantages since we will be travelling zones 1-5 every day. Thanks again.
