    My family is traveling with Disney 12/5-12/8 from FLL, we are staying 12/8-12/9 in FLL upon return - what hotels are recommended if looking for beachfront? Thanks!

    See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me! And it sounds like it’s calling you, too, Stephanie! There is no better way to answer the call of the sea than with a Disney cruise. Your 3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Fort Lauderdale is going to be a magical getaway. Plus, your cruise is a Very Merrytime sailing, making it the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. 

    Adding an extra day in Fort Lauderdale for a Post-cruise hotel stay will give you extra time to unwind before returning to the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. There are two hotels listed in Fort Lauderdale for Pre- and Post-Cruise Hotel Stays

    •Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa – an oceanfront resort featuring private beachfront. This hotel is located approximately 5 miles from the cruise terminal and 5 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. 

    •Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina – located on the Intracoastal Waterway and a ten-minute complimentary shuttle ride away from the beach. 

    Since you are interested in a beachfront hotel, I highly recommend booking a stay at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa. You can book this hotel directly through Disney Cruise Line and arrange transportation from the cruise terminal. Call (800) 951-3532 to speak with a helpful Cast Member. 

    I hope you have an unforgettable Very Merrytime sailing with Disney Cruise Line this December, Stephanie! If we can help answer more of your questions, bring them here to planDisney. We are happy to set sail in search of answers for you. 

    Happy Sailing!
