    Hi, Just wondering if we are able to explore Galveston for a few hours if we booked a Disney shuttle to take us to Houston after we leave the cruise.We wouldn't be flying out of Houston until the following morning and want to see more of Galveston

    Hello, Paulynn! Welcome to planDisney and thank you for sailing our way with your question. 

    As you prepare for your Disney Cruise from Galveston, I'd be happy to share with you what you can expect when you book a ground transfer from the port to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport or the Houston Airport Marriott. Shortly after disembarking the ship, you will be directed to your shuttle for departure to Houston. The shuttles will be departing promptly to allow cruise passengers quick transportation to the airport for their return flights.

    As you mentioned not flying home till the following morning and a desire to explore Galveston, it might be best for you to consider an alternative transportation option. You might rent a car or hire a private shuttle to better meet your travel needs. 

    If you have already booked ground transfers with Disney Cruise Line, please give them a call to discuss your options. You may wish to change from a roundtrip transfer to a one-way transfer so that you can explore on your own before heading back to Houston. 

    However you choose to end your vacation, I know that you'll be heading home with plenty of memories from a magical time with Captains Mickey and Minnie. There will be so much to do and see, and I cannot wait for you to experience it all. 

    Please visit planDisney again the next time you have a question. My pals and I will be here for you!

    Happy Sailing, 

    Adrianna
