Hello there, Douglas!
Welcome aboard, I'm so glad you found planDisney. I hope I can help get you from "looking for" to "looking forward to" a cruise in no time!
I'm a huge believer in having transportation planned to and from the cruise port. It makes traveling so much more relaxing!
Ground Transportation may be added (for an additional fee) from the Orlando International Airport or a
pre-cruise hotel booked through Disney Cruise Line. You can ask about hotel and ground transfer options by calling (800) 951-3532.
Alternatively, several shuttle services go from Orlando area resorts to Port Canaveral. A quick web search for "Orlando hotels with Port Canaveral shuttle" should help you find some good options. You can also book a private transfer in advance or just use a ride-share app. It really depends on personal preference, the size of your party, and your priorities.
There are a lot of
great reasons to book that Disney Cruise you're thinking about, Douglas! Each cruise includes amazing dining, entertainment, activities, and lots of pixie dust. I especially love the itineraries that visit
Disney Castaway Cay, a private escape that is probably the most relaxing place I've ever been. I hope you'll be chasing the horizon soon!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
