    Hello! If we want to take the DCL Transportation from WDW to Port Canaveral, can our car stay at WDW? Do we pay for parking for the week?

    Hello, Jessica! Thank you for visiting planDisney with your question. I'd be happy to help chart your course for adventure on the high seas. 

    While it's wonderful to stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel before or after your cruise vacation (yay for extending the magic!), you may not leave your car at the resort during your cruise. The best option in my experience is to drive to Port Canaveral and park your car at the cruise terminal. 

    It only takes about an hour from Walt Disney World to Port Canaveral, and the directions are easy to follow. The parking garage is just a short walk from the terminal where you will check in for your sailing. Please note that prices can change at any time, but the current parking rate is $17.00 plus tax per day. You don't need reservations, so that is one less thing to worry about during your travel planning. 

    I hope this information helps you feel shipshape and ready to sail this December. With a Very Merrytime Disney Cruise, you have so much to look forward to. The ship will be decked from bow to stern, and everything will be merry and bright. Please cruise back to planDisney if you have additional questions. We'll be here for you! 

    Have a magical time,
