London to Disneyland Paris Eurostar check-in
Eurostar check-in is a simple process and very similar to what you are used to at an airport. After arriving at St Pancras International station, make sure you have your train tickets ready to scan. If you have etickets, just scan the QR code to pass through the gate. From there, you'll join the security line, which follows the same process of airport security.
One benefit of travelling on the Eurostar is there's no restriction on liquid size, so you are free to carry as much on as you like. Be sure to also have your passport ready, as you will need to present it to border control once you have had your bags checked.
If you are on a direct train service to Disneyland Paris, this will be the end of any security trips for your journey. If you're changing at Lille, you may need to go through security checks again, although they shouldn't inspect luggage again.
