Ahoy, Judith! Welcome to planDisney. I'm so glad you thought to cruise our way with your question as you prepare for your upcoming adventures at sea.
Disney Cruise Line is happy to work with you if you would like to add any pre-cruise or post-cruise nights at a hotel in
Fort Lauderdale. The closest resort that they can book for you is called Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina. This hotel is conveniently located five miles from the Ft. Lauderdale International Airport and is only a five-minute drive (0.5 miles) from the port terminal.
This hotel is on the Intracoastal Waterway and offers a beach shuttle service to a nearby beach and a water taxi service to Las Olas Boulevard where you'll find excellent shops and dining options. The Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina also boasts all-day dining at their outdoor tropical restaurant, a palm-lined pool area, and a lovely walking trail onsite. If you would like to add this hotel to your Disney Cruise Line reservation, please
call Disney Cruise Line for assistance.
If you would prefer to book a hotel on your own, the address for the cruise terminal is 1800 SE 20th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316. There are several hotels in the vicinity, and you can choose the one that will best suit your sailing crew.
Judith, please sail back to planDisney again if you have more questions! It's a pleasure to assist you.
Happy planning!
