Driving vs Disney Transport?

[Kestryl]

We are driving down for a cruise in June. Our original plan was to park at the port.

I’ve been toying with the idea of adding on some Disney World resort stays before and/or after the cruise, and that opened up a different possibility (maybe?) to get transport.

My understanding is parking at the port would cost us $80 (3 night cruise). Transport from the resort would be $90.

But we would have a car, since we’re driving in. (This isn’t a fly in and get a rental situation, we are legitimately driving our car.) Would we even be allowed to leave a car at the resort?

Since the cost is about the same, I would just park at the cruise terminal. You wouldn't be dealing with a multi-stop bus ride between the port and your WDW resort. You would have some tolls between to/from the port. If you have a SunPass, Uni(E-Pass) or E-ZPass (or other interoperable) transponder, that would work on all FL toll roads.

Parking at the resorts long term isn't included in your resort stay... it's for registered guest only. If you asks, they'll tell you no. I'm sure there are dozens that have done it without asking and had no issue. But is it worth risking being the one that has their car towed?

Part at the port.... yeah you won't get that first boarding windows, but you won't be worried about where your car will be when you get back.

Just to be clear on pricing because you said "us". Transport is $90 roundtrip per person. So if you have more than one person, it is substantially higher than the port parking fee.
