Driving to Dlp

[donna252]

Booked 4 nights next summer and thinking about driving due to cost of flights, cancellation or Eurostar, benefits of taking unlimited luggage/drinks/snacks. Will be travelling from north east but usually drive to ebbsfleet for Eurostar so not concerned about the drive this side - will travel down day before stopping half way ish for day out then stay overnight so can get early crossing. My confusion starts the next day.
Is ferry or tunnel best way to travel?
tunnel is £135 return is that a decent price (for school holidays)?
It looks to be around a 3 hour journey in France is this straight forwards journey?
Can you park for free, we staying at Disney hotel or will there be parking fees to consider?
Anything else we might need to know about driving?
