Question about getting from Coronado Springs to Port Canaveral:

[clh2]

Hello, we are spending a few days at Disney prior to going on a Disney cruise. We will be renting 2 cars (there are 7 of us).

My original thought was-fly into MCO, rent cars, go to Coronado Springs, do our stuff at WDW, and on the day of our cruise, drive back to the airport, drop off cars, and then have a car service take us to the port.

Today, I had either a brilliant idea (or a weird idea) that perhaps we could drop our rental cars off at the Car Care Center on the morning of our cruise, get a shuttle back to the hotel, and then just have the car service pick us up directly at the hotel.

The group of us is 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 3 boys ages 2,4 and 6.

My thought today is: this eliminates a transfer point, 3 crazy boys at the airport, while the adults manage the luggage, including car seats. This might also save us time as well.

Any thoughts? I really appreciate the input!

That would work. You could also just drive to the port and return the car there.

Price out taking Mears/car service from MCO to Disney and then the DCL busses from your resort to the port and let someone else do the driving depending on price vs the car rental route.

If you go the car rental route probably returning them to the port makes the most sense both budget and time wise. You can drop the luggage and extra people at the terminal and then the two drives can return the cars.

Unfortunately, Mears will not work for us. My daughter/son-inlaw are adamant that the 2 and 4 year old are in car.

And, all of the adults would rather be relaxing in a vehicle, instead of being drivers going to the port.
