Cruise Transfers

[2golftoday]

We're booked for our first Disney cruise on the Dream June 2018! So excited! We have a pre-cruise stay booked at the Hyatt in the MCO airport. Right now we don't have transfers to the port booked. The transfers offered by DCL seem really expensive for 5 people. Any recommendations for other transfers, or would going through Disney be the best option? Thanks!

I don't have other recommendations except for Mears, maybe. They are reliable. But I am not sure how much they charge.

BUT, we love the DCL shuttle. It's basically the same thing as Magical Express (themed bus, videos, etc.) except that it's more of a "Disney Cruise" theme. We can appreciate the entertainment.

You could do a price comparision for a town car. With 5 people, that might end up being cheaper. The DCL bus is nice & convenient, but I can see how it would be expensive for 5 people. However, if you booked the Hyatt via DCL, I'd personally keep the DCL transfer to the ship, as doing so would allow you to not need a Port Arrival Time.

Yes, the transfers are expensive for 5 people. Do a price check of Happy Limo with a 10% off coupon from Mouse Savers.

Some people just rent a car and either drop it at the port and rent another car at the end of the cruise (which can be a hassle with long lines and shuttle buses) or just park the first rental at the port for the duration of the cruise, but then they'd have to pay parking.
