Additionally, the cost of a Disney cruise is already high enough without additional fuel costs and daily parking expenses. Disney’s cruise shuttle only picks people up from MCO airport and the Walt Disney World resort hotels. If you’re flying into the SFB or MLB airports near Orlando and going directly to the ship from the airport, you won’t be able to use the service. Disney Cruise Line buses are available to transport guests from Walt Disney World Resort hotels to Port Canaveral.

The buses are luxury motor coaches which are accessable (must specific this when making your reservation) and have a bathroom onboard. Both Uber and Lift drivers are available near the ports, as well as in Orlando, and many other nearby cities. Pricing tends to range from $70 for a basic rideshare vehicle (add about $5 for a vehicle with a car seat) up to about $150 for a more deluxe ride.

Round trip fares to Port Canaveral are $78 per person, meaning the total price will be over $300 for a family of four or five. For those cruising with Disney to The Bahamas or the Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line offers a ground transfer option between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Disney’s Port Canaveral terminal. Transfers are not included in the cost of a Disney cruise and are available on embarkation and debarkation days only. Like Disney’s own shuttle service, independent shuttle services are usually shared (ie, you share the bus with other guests). However, unlike Disney, independent shuttle companies provide a wide range of vehicle options. These range from sedans and limos to minivans and large motor coaches.

Previous departures also took place from the Miami Port Terminal, though nothing is currently scheduled from there. From Orlando International Airport, it will take approximately 43 minutes to reach Disney Cruise Line’s Port Canaveral terminal. The drive is 46 minutes from Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB),  61 minutes from Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB), and 60 minutes from Walt Disney World Resort. Car rentals are perhaps the least practical option for getting to Disney cruises departing from Florida.

To do this, you just call Disney Cruise Line and ask to add on a pre cruise hotel to your trip. So, make sure you give yourself (and your luggage) plenty of time to make it to the cruise port on embarkation day. Since we don’t like to take the chance, my family and I like to fly in the day before our cruise is scheduled to set sail. The Quick Coach bus service is the most convenient, since it drops off directly at the Canada Place cruise terminal in Vancouver. If you book at least 24 hours in advance, you can have them drop you directly at any downtown Vancouver hotel.

However, there are more flight options available to Seattle-Tacoma Airport (SEA), which is just 3-4 hours away from Vancouver by train or bus. Airfares to Seattle are often much cheaper, even when you factor in the cost of the extra train or bus ticket and other costs, and the trip from Seattle to Vancouver is quite scenic. To make the Seattle option work well, it’s really best to stay in Seattle at least overnight, then take the train or bus up on another date. It is possible to fly into Seattle and get onto a ship in Vancouver the same day, but the connections are super tight — there’s not a lot of room for error and we wouldn’t recommend it. It is never cost-effective to rent a car at SAN and leave it at the port during your cruise. All the  major rental car companies have offices near Port Canaveral.

Another advantage of renting a car and driving to the Port Canaveral Cruise Port is that you get to control what time you arrive. You may save money by renting a car from Orlando International Airport and making a one-way drop. They have a flat-rate fee of $30 per person for a one-way trip from Orlando International Airport to Port Canaveral. The reason for this is that the bus may make a number of stops at other Disney Resorts on the way. Being close to the port on the morning of the cruise takes a lot of the stress out of things. Cash, MasterCard, and Visa are the only acceptable forms of payment.

The hotel lobby/restaurant entrance has a small lounge for evening drinks. Residence Inn Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach is an all-suite hotel with a nice Florida-style ambiance and a heated pool and whirlpool. Some images shown through out this website do not represent current operational guidelines or health and safety measures such as face covering and physical distancing requirements. §Free Disney Dining & Drinks offer is available for bookings made until 7th November 2024 for selected arrival dates.

Arrive at Nassau in the Bahamas where you can spend the day sunbathing, swimming and relaxing on the soft sands. Return to the ship to watch the latest 3D Disney release in the Buena Vista Theatre, before getting ready for the night ahead. Adults can enjoy exclusive fine-dining at Palo or Remy and dance the night away at One of the lounge areas onboard while the children are enjoying the kids' clubs. A cruise and stay holiday is the perfect way to spend quality family time together and make unforgettable memories.

With unexpected travel delays being so common, a simple flight issue or heavy traffic can put you at risk of missing your cruise when flying in on embarkation day. Arriving the day before setting sail can give you added peace of mind and a more stress-free vacation experience. That’s why Go Port’s Fly Snooze Cruise packages are so popular among Port Canaveral cruisers. You can choose from various brand-name hotel options, such as Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, La Quinta, and Best Western – with airport transportation and cruise transfers included in the package. Whether you arrive by airplane, train, or automobile, guests must still consider transportation options when planning a cruise. Those flying or taking a train will need to get to the cruise port.

If you want to travel via Disney Cruise Line bus, you’ll need to arrange this before your sail date. In this case, a port arrival time will be chosen for you based on the bus schedule. You are on vacation so don’t stress about carrying your luggage around.

The Homewood Suites offers “Park and Go” cruise packages that allow you to park your car in their lot during your cruise. The packages include two vouchers for the shuttle to Port Canaveral. If you are not on such a package, the hotel offers a shuttle to Port Canaveral for $5 per person each way. You can also arrange private transportation between Miami Airport and the Port of Miami. Your options include taking an Uber, Lyft, taxi, limo, or private van service. You can also rent a car at the airport if you choose (but it’s not recommended).

In 2020, News 6 reported on a Lynx rider who was spending seven hours per day to get to and from work. The sail-away time, i.e. when the boat actually sets off, is usually between 4 and 5 p.m. The exact time will be in the itinerary you can see before arriving. Barring emergencies, this is the time the ship will actually leave, and if you aren’t on board, it will leave without you. Once on the ship, you’re able to connect to the local network and access the sailing’s full schedule of events via the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app.
