Welcome aboard, Steve! I'm happy to hear that you'll be setting sail this winter on the Disney Dream! You are in for a real treat on that magical ship, Steve!
Check out the
Port Canaveral parking information on Disney Cruise Line's website. There you can see that for your three-night cruise, you'll be charged $60.00 for parking at the port. Parking fees are paid as you exit the parking area. There is also preferred parking, closer to the port terminal for $25 per day.
Cash and credit cards are accepted as forms of payment.
There are a couple other options, like Park n' Cruise, that cost a bit less, though they are further from the port terminal. They do provide a shuttle from your car to the terminal. Do a google search for "parking at Port Canaveral" and you'll see a few other parking options pop up. Many do require advanced reservations, but payment is taken care of at the parking area.
I have heard of many guests who use both the Disney parking area at Port Canaveral and the other Park and Cruise services and both seem to be great options, Steve. I hope that gives you an idea of where to start as you plan your parking for the cruise. Please stop back with any other questions you have as you continue to plan for your sailing with Disney this winter, Steve! I'm happy to help!
