    What do you recommend for lodging the night before 2025 December cruise from Port C. Traveling group is 3 families. 2 + 2 + 4. Two of those will be 8 and 5 year olds. We just took them to Disney World in 2023 so not really looking to go to parks this time.

    Hi there, David! I’d be thrilled to help you explore your options for getting to Port Canaveral for your Disney Cruise! 

    I think the easiest option is to take Disney Ground Transportation. It's designed to make your journey to the port as convenient and hassle-free as possible! Just sit back, relax, and let Captain Mickey handle the driving so you can start your vacation in true Disney style! 

    Here are a few ways to make the most of your travel plans:
    • Stay at any Walt Disney World Resort hotel. Even if you're not visiting the theme parks, booking a stay at a resort can be a fantastic way to set the tone for your vacation. You can explore the resort, relax by the pools, or visit Disney Springs to shop, dine, and take in some live entertainment. You'll receive an email with your motorcoach departure time and luggage pick-up. 
    • Stay at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport. For ultimate convenience, stay right at the airport. You'll be ready to hop onto Disney Ground Transportation in the morning.
    • Choose a nearby hotel and return to the airport to catch a Disney bus. A Disney representative will be stationed at Terminal B, Level 1, to help you find the buses. They begin departing for the port starting at 10:00 a.m. and continue throughout the morning. 
    • Stay close to the port at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront Resort. This option offers a quick shuttle to the port, allowing you to relax in the morning and enjoy an easy journey to the ship.
    To secure your spot, call Disney Cruise Line. A reservation specialist will assist you in booking your resort stay, adding ground transportation, and collecting your payment. 

    Another option is to reserve a private town car service. Some companies even offer a complimentary grocery stop so that you can pick up any last-minute necessities. Alternatively, rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are also convenient options.

    David, I hope this information helps get your transportation plans rolling! Please feel free to stop by and see us again anytime.

    SEAS the adventure!
