Channel Tunnel to Disneyland Paris

Drive route and travel times

Once your car exits the Eurotunnel, head south on the A16, then join the A26 toward Paris. Use the A1 and A104 to skirt around Paris before joining the A4 east toward Disneyland. The whole Calais → Disneyland leg is about 220 miles.

• London → Folkestone: ~75 miles (1h 30m)
• Check-in & boarding: ~45–60 minutes
• Chunnel crossing: 35 minutes
• Calais → Disneyland Paris: ~3h30

Total door-to-door: approx 6h 15m to 6h 30m

Parking at EuroDisney / Disneyland Paris: day visitors must pay for parking (around €30 per day for standard cars, higher for larger vehicles). Parking is only free if you are staying at a Disney hotel, where hotel car parks are included.

LeShuttle fares in GBP

Here are sample fares from LeShuttle (Eurotunnel) for standard car tickets: (per vehicle, one way)

LeShuttle discount offers: how useful are they?

LeShuttle publishes “Offers and Discounts” on its site, including promo codes for attractions like Disneyland Paris and partner hotels. However, these offers often do not reduce the cost of the crossing itself, rather, they bundle or discount ancillary products (hotels, attraction tickets) or require codes with restrictions. Always compare against the base fare without bundling to see if it’s a genuine saving.

For example, LeShuttle partners with Accor hotels to give LeShuttle passengers 10 % off hotel stays through their “ALL x LeShuttle” program. That’s a real benefit if staying overnight, but it doesn't cut the tunnel fare.

Smart booking tips for travelers

• Book as early as possible: fares rise as the train fills.
• Use the “Short Stay Saver” if your trip is under 5 days.
• Check LeShuttle’s Offers & Discounts page for coupon codes or check our own discounts pages.
• Be cautious: third-party coupon sites often list drastic discounts (e.g. “50 % off”), but many of these are invalid or expired. 
• If travelling with Disney packages, sometimes the “bundle offers” (LeShuttle + park) are more about convenience than savings.

Disneyland Paris booking entities & discount structure

When booking your Disneyland trip, these are the major players:

• Official Disneyland Paris site: sells park tickets, hotel + ticket packages. Occasionally includes extras like meal vouchers or free child places on special offers.
• on DisneyHolidays (Official Walt Disney Travel Company) we also found a few nice offers. You can see them on this page, it depends a bit however on the offers that are live. 
• Travel agents / tour operators: in the UK, operators bundle transport (e.g. Eurostar, ferry, tunnel) + hotel + park tickets. These bundles may simplify planning, but don’t always offer lower prices.
• Ticket resellers / aggregator sites: platforms like AttractionTix, Viator, or GetYourGuide sometimes offer slight discounts or flexible cancellation.
• Coupons / cashback / loyalty offers: travel reward schemes, credit card cashback, or seasonal vouchers may pop up, especially around holidays.

Because Disneyland’s pricing is tightly controlled, large discounts are rare. The best value often comes from booking early, selecting off-peak dates, or staying in partner hotels with package deals.

Comparison: Chunnel vs ferry for Disneyland trips

Some travellers consider the ferry option (Dover → Calais). The sea crossing takes ~1h30. But when you factor in drive time to the port, check-in, and the journey from Calais to Disneyland, the total travel time often ends up longer:  often 7h30 or more. Meanwhile, the Chunnel gives a quicker crossing and direct motorway access to Paris region.

Eurostar might be your best option

it might be better to book the Eurostar and enter Disneyland Paris easily by train as parking and such (£ 30 per day) also weighs in. 

Booking early and comparing package deals will usually yield the best value.
