Hi Maxine, welcome to planDisney!
I see a double dose of Disney magic in your future. A stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel prior to your
Disney cruise vacation sounds like a Wish come true.
To book
transportation from your Disney Resorts Collection hotel to the Disney Cruise Terminal at Port Canaveral, reach out to a friendly Disney Cruise Line agent at the
Disney Cruise Line number. There is an associated cost per person. I'd also consider booking post-cruise transportation to the Orlando International Airport, if desired. When you call, make sure you have your cruise confirmation number and Disney Resort hotel information on hand.
My family recently enjoyed two nights at Disney's Riviera Resort before setting sail on our first Disney cruise out of Port Canaveral. Our travel agent worked with Disney to secure our ground transportation. On the morning of embarkation, our luggage was picked up outside our room at the time specified in previous communication. We enjoyed a quick-service breakfast before meeting up with other cruisers departing from our hotel. After loading the bus, we made one additional stop at another Disney Resort hotel before heading to Port Canaveral. We were one of the first groups called to board the ship, which meant we were also one of the first to enjoy lunch and our first of many ice cream cones.
I hope you have similarly smooth sailing on your embarkation day, Maxine. Please return to planDisney with any other trip-planning questions.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
