Hi
Have you checked the train option from Paris to Munich? You should be able to take the train to Disneyland...have you visited their homepage? They normally have info on how to get there. Are you staying long in Paris?

I just got back from 12 days in Paris and the best and cheapest way to get around the city is to buy a Metro pass called Carte Orange. It sells for 16 euro but gets you UNLIMITED rides on metro and buses for an entire week starting Monday to Sunday. You will need a 1 inch x 1 inch picture of your face to include once you get the Metro ticket and bus pass in your little gray plastic sleeve but you can make one of those up on your home computer!
Anyway, we paid for ours pass in the first day or two because every entry will run you about 1.20 euro and in some stations that do not have personnel you have to have coins to operate the machines, another added inconvenience. What is nice is that once you are inside the system you can change to as many lines as you need to get you anywhere you need to go, including Disney! We never waited for more than 4 minutes for a train! Even when we just missed one we knew the next one was coming down the line! There are also other bigger trains that connect to the Metro and you can get to these with the Carte. We also used it to ride the Fenicular up and down at Sacre Couer instead of waiting in the long line to buy a ticket! When we decided to take bus 69, which takes you past the famous sites, we just flashed our carte as we came into the bus and then rode it all the way home! You can't beat it! We even took and used it to get to DeGaul Airport though that took an additional big train for about 7 euro but that beats the 40 euro taxi we got when we arrived. Use it and you will see all of Paris in no time with no major hassles at all, there are maps in every station, just be warned of all the steps up and down that you take once inside the complicated web that is the metro system. We were tired but nothing beats the sight once you emerge from the underground and are faced with the beauty that is Paris!
Have a wonderful time!

To get to Eurodisney take the RER A line from central Paris to Marne la Vallee-Chessy. The cost each way is E6.25.
Adding to ira's comments. The PREM'S fare is for the night train and it saves the cost of a hotel. Tickets can be booked up to 90 days in advance. Book as soon as the 90-day window opens because this is a popular route and the cheap tickets sell out fast.
Eurolines has bus service from Munich to Paris. Visit www.eurolines.com.
