Ahoy and Benvenuto, Ronda! Planning for the return home is my least favorite part of preparing for a
Disney Cruise Line vacation. I always remind myself of a sentiment from Winnie the Pooh: How lucky are we to have something that makes saying "goodbye" hard?
From the
ground transportation information, the port at Civitavecchia is about one hour from the Leonardo Da Vinci Airport-Fiumicino (FCO) in Rome, depending on traffic. With customs at the port, travel time on the road to the airport and navigating the airport upon arrival, I wanted to be sure to get you the best answer. A Cast Member let me know they recommend booking your return flight for 1 pm or later.
For ease on the morning of your departure, I recommend booking ground transfers directly with Disney. You can add these easily by calling Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent, if you used one to book your cruise.
With all the magical destinations awaiting you in just a few months, I hope there is plenty of Italian treats to keep any rumbly in your tumbly at bay.
Please come back to

Bon Voyage!
