Went last year and stayed at Les Etangs in the Touqin region. We were there during the hot spell and the pool area is a good suntrap. The bar run on site is pricey and draught beer costs about £4 for a pint. The family owners also do some fast food but the sight of Garcon with a fag on the go and the ash falling into the fryer put me off, besides the local bacon and produce is much better on the bbq. The pitches were great, very relaxed, nationalities seemed like a mix of about 40% French, 40%Dutch, 15%UK, 5%Spanish. I found it all very interesting, UK people seem to arrive with everything but the concrete footings from their homes, then they whack up huge power aerials, the Dutch have only the minimum, with them guys the gazebo goes up and then 2 very posh deckchairs are placed out, thats it. For proximity to Disneyland and general ease of days Id rate it 9/10. With regards to Disneyland then I would really recommend Mickeys Cafe in the Village, my kids are 5 and 2 years of age and so love seeing people in Goofy and Mickey costumes, surprisingly you see few costumed characters in DisneyPark during the daytime, maybe because they get swamped by autograph hunters and adult huggers who had the habit of knocking toddlers out of the way to put their arms around Cinderella. In Mickeys Cafe however you pay for what you get and what you get is excellent French food and table service, and your kids get to meet a whole range of Disney characters, 10/10. I thought France was great to tow a Caravan around, plenty of stop over points on route to destination, I quite fancy going again or maybe even pushing on into Spain.
ps, Its also worth going to Disney about 3 or 4 in the afternoon, it takes off after the main street parade at 5, your there then until midnight fireworks.
