British Isle DCL Cruise From Dover- Disney Pre & Post Cruise Hotels

[BWV Dreamin]

Hello all, I am looking for a list of the DIsney designated hotels for pre and post cruise stays from Dover, England. I am booked for the 9/2/18 cruise, but would like any info from the 2017 cruise as well. TIA.

I am sailing on the Norway/Iceland cruise in June 2017 which leaves out of Dover as well. I did book a pre-cruise hotel with Disney and they offered the Sofitel at Heathrow which is where I am staying, a hotel at Gatwick airport and one in London that was way out of my price range. They did not offer any in Dover that I was aware of. If you call Disney they will tell you the hotels they are using for this year.

I usually stay the Premier Inn on Bath street or the Hilton Garden Inn when passing through London. Both are very affordable. The Hilton is nicer. There's shuttles that go to all the different airport hotels. 5 pounds per person. The Sofitel is in terminal 5. You will still need to take a shuttle unless you're flying in on BA. If you're going to stay there I would not book through the cruise line. You can find better deals through booking.com or any other third party sight. The fastest and cheapest way to Dover is the high speed train from ST Pancras. Also keep in mind LHR is an hour from London so you will need transportation if you stay downtown. It's not the easiest or cheapest place to cruise out of when it comes to transportation to the port and downtown. I'm planning on booking the WBTA unless the itinerary is not to my liking. I'm not sure what I'll do yet as far as hotels go.
If you wan't to book through DCL I would just call and ask.
