Split Stay help for Pre and Post Cruise

[AppleJack]

Hi All, my group (4 adults, all in our 30's no kids) will be staying on property for our Pre and Post Disney Cruise when we travel in December. Can anyone give some recommendations on where to stay for 1 day before our cruise and 1 day after? We will be going to MVMCP the day before the cruise (Sunday), and maybe a park the day we come back from the cruise (Friday). We are looking for Moderates and Value resorts and would be fine staying at 2 different resorts for the 2 different nights.

So I guess what I need advice on is where is the best place(s) to stay that gives us something to do the Saturday before our flight leaves in the late afternoon and that has good transportation.

Thanks for the help

The transport for Mods and Values will be very comparable. For Value, Pop has dedicated buses. The mods, for an adult trip I would typically suggest either Coronado Springs (the most adult Mod, great transport) or if you like the idea, Port Orleans and take the boat to Disney Springs.

Does a Value VS a Mod have different things to do to help occupy our time before our flight?

Your flight leaves later afternoon. Magical express picks up 3+ hours before your flight, and you have to be all ready for it. You'll possibly have sent your checked bags on ahead by RAC (if your flight and airline participate) but you still have to have carryons all ready. Depending on the actual time of the flight you might end up with fewer hours to fill than you're anticipating.

Not sure what you're looking to fill your time with. All I can think of is food and swimming. And mods and values both have places to eat and swim m
