We did this a couple of years ago. Me, the wife and 2 kids.
We stayed at a relatively small site called Camping les Etangs Fleuris at Touquin.
You can find details at Canvas Holidays website http://www.canvasholidays.co.uk/campsite-overview.aspx?id=PP05T
We booked the site & ferry with Canvas and drove over. It is a very easy and straight forward drive from the camp site into Disney's carpark that takes no more than 30 minutes. We loved the fact that after a full days excitement at Disney we went back to the peace & quiet of the site to chill out. We spent 3 days at Disney including a day at the studios part. We also spent a day sight seeing in Paris by catching the train into Paris from the station at the shopping centre by Disney.
We then drove onto The Vendee and stayed at another site for week on the coast.
Brilliant family holiday all round.

Thank you.The site looks ideal. How long was the drive to the site once leaving the ferry? Is there a supermarket close by?

I've given them all, because it may be simpler to go a bit further away for a larger store or a simpler route! Don't forget that big supermarkets sometimes have cheaper petrol than motorway service areas or small petrol stations ... and don't forget that Brie, Coulommiers and Meaux are famous for their 'Brie' cheeses which are locally made.

The bar/shop on site does some simple take away food, and you can order croissants, baguettes at the bar and they are delivered fresh from the patisserie in the village first thing next morning...lovely.
