Pass book? Do you mean the carnet? There is no 'pass book'. You select the carnet of 10 tickets at the machine, insert 12,70, and 10 tickets come out. If you purchase it some places they come together, but there isn't a 'pass book'. I think that you are confusing daily/weekly passes with single tickets grouped into 10 (called a 'carnet').

But that won't help you as you still need transport from Marne-la-Vallée into central Paris, which is a five zone fare. A day ticket (1-5 mobilis) may be of better value, but again, with a stroller and small children, you have to consider your options.

If you have not read the www.ratp.fr website, then this one appears to be quite useful: http://en.parisinfo.com/paris-map/getting-around/


As to being on a 7 week holiday, spending 5-7 days at Disneyland Paris, and not even venturing into REAL Paris I cannot even begin to comment. To each their own, I suppose, however...

(And again, apologies as this is the UK and Ireland forum, and we are discussing Paris topics, not London/UK topics)
