If you subscribed for the community day, you should have received instructions by e-mail.
Meeting point is at EuroDisney at 9:45. The theme park opens at 10:00 and closes at 21:00.
How to get there
The best option is to take the Metro/RER. This takes approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes:

- take metro Line 3 from St Lazare to Havre-Caumartin (1 stop only),
- take the express train RER A to Marne La Vallée-Chessy

N.B.: You should buy a ticket to Marne La Vallée at the metro station. The ticket is valid for the entire journey.
Evening drinks
We will meet at a local bar, for drinks (soft and beers), at around 20:30.
The name will be announced later, when confirmed, but should not be too far from the hotel.

Payment
The local currency is the Euro. Merchants are forbidden from accepting other currencies (except exchange).
Most venues will accept EMV credit and debit cards (i.e. Chip & PIN), at least VISA and MasterCard. Swipe-only cards can be more tricky (it has been illegal for banks to issue them for years in France, so only foreign visitors use them). American Express is widely but not universally accepted. Diners/Discovery, UnionPay, JCB, etc. are mostly only accepted in shops catering to tourists.

Internet
Hopefully, there will be Wi-Fi.
