We're looking at Disney Paris for around Feb /March / April next year.
Were based in the south, Hampshire.
We have never booked abroad ourselves. We've been told booking accommodation, ferry or tunnel, park tickets seperate is best.

Where's good to stay. Not bothered if b&b or a standard hotel.

Are park tickets cheaper to buy lots in advance

Will be taking our car which we can take drinks and food from home, well snacks

Estimate of prices?

Basically explain like im a 5 year old!

I would recommend staying at the village nature centerparcs nearby. It's a fraction of the cost of both a disney hotel or center parcs in the UK, and about a 10 minute drive from disney. It has amazing facilities which are fab if you want a down day.
You can either drive to disney or get the bus which is also quick and cheap.
Parking at disney is expensive. We ended up costing out annual passes and 4 of our group got passes which then allowed us to buy heavily discounted tickets, free parking and discounts on food etc. We also went back within the same 12 months. So maybe worth costing up just 1 child getting a mid-range annual pass.

Look at packages (ferry, accommodation, park tickets) or separately, it varies. Also look at travel agents, not just direct with Disney eg I used hayes.

Staying outside the park is cheaper. Davy Crockett ranch is self catering but Disney

We went and booked ourselves... Hotel eylesse which is not a Disney theme hotel but a partner hotel. It's first on the free shuttle bus to the park so we always got a good seat.. It was very good value and right opp the huge shopping mall so we got ourselves lunch to take in we also had a good size fridge and kettle in room which many Disney hotels lack.

We had the magic plus pass which allowed us early entry to the park (like staying in Disney hotels) BUT!! Without the queues of hotel guests! Every morning the hotel guests where in long queues as we sailed thru our empty separate entrance.

You also get money off inside fhe park.

Also we went 6 times that year and it took two goes to get it down right! Eg time everything perfectly and get the best out of the day
