We went to Disneyland last year as part of a bigger tour of France. It was expensive. (There's five of us as well). When I was pricing it, I saw an offer for Davy Crocketts ranch for three days accommodation and park entry that was cheaper than camping and paying entry prices. We couldn't do it as we had the van with us, but it might be worth comparing prices for an all inclusive.
It worked out that way for us 2 years back. I priced up a nice campsite with one days entry for a family of 4, against staying in their cheapest hotel. The price kept fluctuating on the DLP website by over £150 for that weekend! I managed to book at it's cheapest price. It worked out a very similar price to the camping. When you threw in the 3 days included park tickets (for 2 nights in hotel), buffet breakfast (made a packed lunch at the same time!), early park entry, free bus it worked out as much better value. Then because we were in a hotel we went for the meal vouchers which gave much better value in the restaurants.
Sometimes you can get lucky :)

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
Popcornn I think you can sign up with most of the ferry company websites and they send various email deals. May be worth it.
It is hard to do DLP very cheaply, it's also not exactly relaxing!. I agree with others, you may be better to go for a site by the beach, or camp site with covered or indoor pool. That way you have a lot of free entertainment.
Keycamp etc was mentioned, there's also http://www.vacansoleil.co.uk/ (I think they should give me a free holiday at some point ;)) Sometimes they're cheaper, they do pitches. Pre-erected tents and vans you take £90 (I think) off the initial price, if you're organizing own crossings.
