    I’m trying to figure out if I should utilize the handicap parking for the cruise. What is the price and process for using the port cruise parking? I am also looking for a reasonable hotel for pre cruise stay.

    Ahoy! Welcome to planDisney, Robert! What a magical adventure you have coming up on Disney Cruise Line! I'm so excited for you. Sailing onboard a Disney Cruise has been the vacation of a lifetime for our family where, it seems, all our dreams come true at sea.

    Thank you so much for your great questions about your Disney Cruise, Robert. As someone who loves planning every detail of an upcoming vacation, I can understand the excitement of wanting to get everything all squared away.

    I'm going to make a guess, from your arrival date of 7/4/2025, that your cruise is the 3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral on the Disney Wish. The parking garage at Port Canaveral opens at 10:15am for those beginning their cruise that day and is conveniently located right next to the cruise terminal. No reservations are currently needed, and you will pay the daily rate of $17 when you arrive. (Rates are always subject to change.) Make sure you have a credit card available, as paying with cash is not accepted.

    Find the terminal address, and other helpful parking details, on the Disney Cruise Line website under "Arrival Information."

    Please be aware that some GPS systems do not recognize Port Canaveral as a city, and you may need to enter "Cape Canaveral" instead. Either way you can't miss the mighty Disney Wish as you approach the port - you'll certainly know vacation is near when you see Rapunzel on the stern.

    If I'm incorrect, Robert, and your sailing is departing from somewhere other than Port Canaveral, find helpful parking details for all Disney Cruise Line ports, including costs, driving directions, and terminal addresses, on the Disney Cruise Line website.

    To learn more about pre-cruise accommodation options, I recommend giving Disney a call so a Cast Member can help find a good fit for your party and provide you with more details. Although, I may say, the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport is located inside the main terminal of the Orlando International Airport and could be a really convenient option if you're flying in, especially since Disney Cruise Line offers ground transportation to Port Canaveral, from the Orlando Airport. You must reserve your spot on the bus in advance by adding to your cruise reservation, which does include a per-person fee. 

    I hope this has been helpful for you, Robert! Have the most magical time - all aboard!
