How Do I Drive To Disneyland Paris With LeShuttle
Driving out with LeShuttle is a simple three-stage process. Here's how it breaks down.
- Drive to Folkestone. You'll reach the LeShuttle terminal via the M25 and M20. Head to the self check-in booths at least an hour before your booked departure time. Once you've checked in and your hanger is visible in the car, you're free to grab food or browse the shops in the terminal building while you wait.
- Board LeShuttle. Have your passport and documents ready, since French and British border control both happen before you drive onto the train. Boarding starts around 25 minutes before your departure time, and the crossing itself takes about 35 minutes.
- Drive from Calais to Disneyland Paris. Since your border checks are already done at Folkestone, you can drive straight off the train in Calais and get moving. Take the A26 out of Calais, then switch onto the A4. Follow signs for Metz or Nancy on either the A4 or the A104, then take exit 14 for Disneyland Paris.

How Long Does The Drive From Calais To Disneyland Paris Take
Once you're off LeShuttle in Calais, you're looking at roughly three hours on the road to reach Disneyland Paris. You've got service stations along the A26 and A4 if anyone needs a break, and you're not restricted to airline timings, so you can set off whenever suits your household rather than working around a check-in window at an airport.
Add the 35 minute LeShuttle crossing and the drive to Folkestone itself, and the whole door-to-door journey from a typical UK home to Disneyland Paris tends to land somewhere around five to six hours depending on where you're starting from.
What Does A Disneyland Paris Self-Drive Package Include
A Disneyland Paris self-drive package typically covers three things bundled into one price. You get a stay at a Disney Hotel, with the extra perks that come with staying on Disney property like Extra Magic Time and free car parking for the length of your stay. You get tickets covering both Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World for the length of your stay. And your return LeShuttle crossing is included, which under this particular offer is currently free when you book before the cut-off date.
Why Drive To Disneyland Paris Instead Of Flying
LeShuttle runs frequent crossings throughout the day and there's no luggage cap. That means you can travel with a car boot full of pushchairs, Mickey ears and clothes without worrying about the weight. Your LeShuttle ticket covers your vehicle and up to six passengers.
What this means for your planning:
- You could cut a meaningful chunk off your total holiday cost by using the free crossing before it disappears.
- You won't need to budget for excess baggage charges, since there's no weight limit when you're driving.
- Your hotel parking is already included, so there's nothing extra to arrange on arrival.
- You can bring home more from the parks without worrying about what fits in a suitcase.
