Is Disneyland Paris easily accessible from Paris?

For example, by train, the Disney Parks are only a 40-minute journey away on the RER A regional train from Châtelet station. The closest stop is Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy, just a 2-minute walk from the entrance of the Disney Parks.
By bus, the Disneyland Paris Express shuttle coach service provides a same-day return trip to Disneyland Paris, from 5 convenient locations in the centre of Paris (paid service).
