Hi Kimberly,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for asking us a question!
I’m pretty pumped that the
Disney Magic and the
Disney Dream will soon be sailing out of
Fort Lauderdale. It’s a totally new home port for Disney Cruise Line and I think it’s going to be a fabulous place to start and end a cruise voyage!
From what I understand, as of right now, Disney Cruise Line doesn’t offer any
ground transportation from any of the
Disney Resorts Collections hotels to the port of Fort Lauderdale. That said, I would highly recommend that you contact Disney Cruise Line either by
email or by
phone to see what they would recommend for travelling from Walt Disney World Resort to your port. Based on my experience, Fort Lauderdale is about a 3 to 3 ½ hour drive from Orlando, so you might also want to see whether renting a car one-way and dropping it off at the port would be a good option for you and your family.
I hope my answer helps you enjoy smooth sailing throughout your vacation! Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions.
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
