I know magical express takes you to and from the airport and I've seen pictures of their cruiseline bus. Do they also do this from the airports to the ports?
The cruise we're looking at leaves out of Miami. Do they only bus from Orlando?
But they charge? If so, that's a bit disappointing considering magical express is included in the price you pay.
Yes, they charge....a lot. $35 per person each way at Port Canaveral. It has been more and less at other ports.
My favorite was Dover--DCL was charging $85 per person one way for transfers. We took the express bus from Victoria Station to the Dover bus station for 4 British pounds per person (a little under $6) and then paid a total of 5 pounds to take the group to the terminal! The bus made 2 stops along the way. We did go to Dover a day early and spend the night there (and the Dover hotel was way less than the London hotel!) We loved Dover!
That stinks! I was thinking it would be like magical express. I guess a taxi would be cheaper.
The distance between the Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral is about twice that from MCO to WDW. A one-way rental car each way is usually the cheapest way to get to and from the port.
The poster is cruising from Miami. Another poster has quoted a cab at $25.
There's a self-serving reason for WDW to include complimentary Magical Express transportation from the airport to WDW resorts: they don't want people to rent cars and leave Disney property!
