    What is the best way to get from the ship in Port Canaveral to the airport, MCO?

    Ahoy there, David! Welcome aboard planDisney!  

    It is never fun to be kicked off the ship... I mean, reach debarkation day, but having your transportation plans squared away before you dock can make that last morning much smoother! Let's chart a course toward getting you safely back to Orlando International Airport after your Disney Cruise Line adventure comes to an end.

    Disney Cruise Line offers ground transportation from Port Canaveral directly to MCO. For 2026 sailings, the current rate is $45 per person, per direction. If you would like to book a one way transfer, you'll need to contact Disney Cruise Line and have it added to your reservation. It's an easy way to let Disney help steer the course all the way back to the airport! You will collect your luggage from the luggage collection area, head to Customs, and meet your driver outside the terminal, straight into an air conditioned bus!

    If you're looking for a way to keep the vacation tide rolling a little longer, consider adding a post-cruise stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel. My family loves doing this, and it has become one of our favorite vacation traditions. Instead of going straight from ship life back to everyday life, we get one extra night to soak in the Disney magic before heading home. It feels like a way to ease back into reality instead of dropping anchor all at once!

    The process for adding transportation is the same if you decide to stay at a Disney Resort after your cruise, unless you already have a pre-cruise hotel stay linked to your sailing. In that case, you can add round trip ground transportation directly online through the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app by selecting the "Add Ground Transportation" option.

    David, I hope you're in for smooth sailing, sunny skies, magical memories, and lots of adventures from bow to stern! If any other questions sail your way as you prepare for your voyage, we'd be happy to help you navigate them.

    Sea ya real soon!
