Ahoy, Jennifer!
Welcome aboard planDisney! With your embarkation just a few sleeps away, I can practically picture you doing your happy dance like Joy in Headquarters—because nothing beats that pre-cruise excitement!
Now let’s dive into your question faster than Dash Parr at recess: Currently, Disney Cruise Line does not offer direct ground transfers to the
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. But don’t let that toss your plans overboard! There is a workaround that just might do the trick. You can request a
ground transfer to Disney’s Beach Club Resort or Disney’s BoardWalk Inn instead—both of which are practically neighbors to the Swan (think Andy’s room and Sid’s yard close).
If you go this route, keep in mind that you may need to make the short walk to the Swan with your luggage in tow. It's a scenic stroll around Crescent Lake, but depending on how many suitcases you’ve got (and how many
Castaway Cay souvenirs you’re hauling home), it might feel more like a “Herculean” task. If you do borrow a luggage cart, just be sure to return it to its original resort home so it doesn’t end up like a lost toy.
As for timing, you’re definitely cutting it close—but not too late just yet! Transfers are generally added up to three days before your vacation kicks off, so I highly recommend
calling Disney Cruise Line right away to explore your options. If all else fails, swing by Guest Services once you’re onboard. They’re basically the Fix-It Felix of the high seas and might just be able to patch something together for you if space is still available.
I hope this helps as you sail toward what’s sure to be an incredible voyage! If you think of any more questions before you step aboard, I’ll be here—ready to answer faster than Remy can julienne a carrot.
Sea ya real soon with a June full of sun, sea, and shipshape adventures,
Dustin
