    Hi! I am actually having a single day off in Orlando tomorrow - Aug 12th. I will be able to depart from Port Canaveral Terminal A by 11:30AM and back there 11PM. I REALLY want to go to the Magic Kingdom, but I am having difficulties to find transportation.

    Hey there and ahoy! It sounds like you have a great, big, beautiful tomorrow ahead. Squeezing in a quick trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth is one of my favorite things to do!

    To get to the Magic Kingdom, you can take an on-demand rideshare service, like Uber or Lyft. Your morning timing could work well for you to find a driver heading back to Orlando after dropping off passengers for their cruises. You can request a ride directly through the apps for these services. The rideshare can drop you off at the Transportation & Ticket Center, where you can buy your theme park ticket and hop aboard the Monorail to take you to the Magic Kingdom. You can also schedule rides ahead to make sure you have transportation back to the port arranged.

    You may find same-day shuttle services, like Cocoa Beach Shuttle or Go Port, available at the port. These services are typically cheaper than a rideshare, but you will have other people traveling with you, with drop-offs at multiple locations. These services may have limited destinations, such as hotels within Walt Disney World. But you could use complimentary Disney transportation to head to the Magic Kingdom. These companies have websites with phone numbers to call if you would like to ask about options. You can also ask about the return trip, so you know when and where to be to go back to the port. 

    I rented a car from Port Canaveral, and the process was pretty easy. Enterprise, Budget, and a few other rental car companies have free shuttle services from the port to their nearby locations. Similar to using a rideshare, this option offers the most flexibility with pick-up and drop-off times. 

    I hope one of these options works for you, and it won't be long before you are walking down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.
