    I want to book ground transportation to my Disney cruise in Orlando. I’m staying in a non listed hotel the night before. Can I take the transport from the Hyatt hotel even if I am no staying in.

    Hi, Gabriela!

    Welcome aboard Disney Cruise Line! You are in for a magical sailing experience with endless activities, delicious dining options, and of course Captains Mickey and Minnie at the helm. I am sure you are counting the days until you board the beautiful Disney ship. 

    You may certainly book Ground Transportation from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Port Canaveral. Just give a call to a friendly Disney Cruise Line Cast Member who will be happy to arrange transfers for you and your travel party. 

    When you arrive at the airport on the morning of your cruise, head to Level 1 on the B-Side of terminal (Ground Transportation Level). Look for the Disney Cruise Line signs to check-in for your motorcoach transportation to Port Canaveral. Shuttle service generally begins at 10am. If you have received DCL luggage tags with your room number, you may place them on your luggage. They will have extra tags if you need them, just ask! The transfer time once your motorcoach gets rolling is about one hour.

    Upon arrival at the Cruise Terminal, you will check-in and receive a boarding group number. Once your number is called, you may proceed to the boarding queue. You will have a royal welcome as you board then the party gets started with a wonderful lunch buffet, the pools will be open, and you may explore the ship until your stateroom is ready (usually around 1:30pm).

    Wishing you a magical sailing with Disney Cruise Line. If you have any questions as you get closer to your cruise date, stop back to your friends here at planDisney. Bon Voyage!
