    What are the partnered hotels at Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale? And which of them have DCL transportation to the port?

    Ahoy there, Shari. Welcome to planDisney!

    I’m excited you’re planning a Disney cruise from Fort Lauderdale. My family and I are looking forward to sailing on Disney Destiny from this port! At this time, there are two hotels that are partnered with Disney Cruise Line for your pre- and post-cruise stays. They’re both fairly close to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades Terminal where Disney Cruise Line sails from. The two hotels are Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa and Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina. 

    To book a stay before or after your cruise at either of these hotels, you can easily do so by calling Disney Cruise Line at (800) 951-3532 to speak with a friendly Cast Member who will assist you. While you’re on the phone booking your hotel stay, you can also add on transfers from the hotel to the cruise terminal for an additional fee. This is a convenient, stress-free way to begin your magical Disney cruise. Prior to embarkation day, be sure to download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App! Once you’re connected to the ship’s WiFi, you’ll find a wealth of information for your sailing, including when and where Character Meet and Greets will happen. You’ll also get to check the schedule of all the fun activities planned for you by your cruise director, as well as see where your rotational dining will be. My favorite feature of the app is the ability to send text messages, including fun Disney emojis, to other Guests. 

    I hope this information is helpful for you, Shari. If you have more trip-planning questions for us, please don’t hesitate to visit us on planDisney again. 

    Bon voyage,
    Kiki
