    I’m planning to cruise with Disney in 2025. I’m also planning on staying at a Disney World resort a few days before the cruise. My question is, if we stay at a Disney resort for a few days and then take the bus to Port Canaveral what happens to our rental?

    Ahoy Daisy,

    Thank you for coming to planDisney with your question! I love that you are already planning for a Disney Cruise Line sailing in 2025. Heading from Walt Disney World to Port Canaveral is simple using Disney Cruise Line ground transfers!

    It sounds like you will have a rental car with you for the Walt Disney World portion of your trip and are wondering what to do with it when you head to your Disney Cruise Line sailing. I recommend that you return the rental car before you head to your Disney Cruise Line sailing.

    You can do this easily by booking through one of the rental car companies located at the Car Care Center at Walt Disney World. Car rentals can be made here through Enterprise, Alamo, and National. You can work with the Car Care Center to ensure that you get back to your Disney Resort Hotel after you drop off your rental car. Then you will be ready to catch your ground transportation to Port Canaveral! You can also rent a car through the car rental desk at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. This location includes rentals from National and Alamo. Again, it should be quite simple if you drop off a car here to get back to your Disney Resort Hotel to catch your transportation to your magical sailing!

    I truly hope that this information is helpful for you, Daisy! Please feel free to sail on back to planDisney if you have any further vacation planning questions!
