Hello, Amy! Thanks for visiting planDisney with your question. Welcome!
I absolutely love staying a few days at a Walt Disney World resort before setting sail on a Disney Cruise. It's nice to relax and get into vacation mode, especially after a road trip! If you are hoping to park your car for the duration of the cruise, I have a couple of suggestions. First, yes, there are a few options for long-term parking at the Orlando airport or in lots nearby. You could change your Disney Cruise Line
ground transportation to be from the airport to Port Canaveral if that makes more sense to you.
Alternatively, you could drive your car to
Port Canaveral and park at the long-term parking garage connected to the cruise terminal. It might be a further drive than the airport, but it could save time in the long run, especially because you won't have to drive from Walt Disney World to the airport and then take transportation to Port Canaveral. Just something to consider. The parking garage at Port Canaveral is very convenient, and no reservations are required.
I hope you can get your transportation plans shipshape and that you'll be ready to sail soon! It's almost time! Before you leave home, I suggest that you have the latest version of the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app on your smartphone. The app will point your compass toward everything you could need on the ship. You'll see your dining rotation, menus, activities, and all entertainment options within the app once you step aboard the ship.
I'm wishing you the best cruise ever! Have fun!
