Hi Richard,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for asking us a question!
If you’re cruising on the
Disney Magic in September 2024, that means that you’ll be one of the first visitors to see
Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point! That new island looks absolutely fabulous, and I truly can’t wait to experience it myself.
From what I understand, as of right now, Disney Cruise Line doesn’t offer any
ground transportation from Walt Disney World Resort (including
Disney’s Pop Century Resort) to the port of Fort Lauderdale. That said, they may have some options or recommendations for you, so I would highly recommend that you contact Disney Cruise Line either by
email or by
phone to see what they would recommend. Based on my experience, Fort Lauderdale is about a 3 to 3 ½ hour drive from Orlando, so you might also want to see whether renting a car one-way and dropping it off at the port would be a good option for you and your family.
I hope my answer helps you plan a smooth transition from Land to Sea! Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions.
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
