Hello, Can anyone tell me if I am staying at a dvc resort. Will disney provide transportation to the cruise ship(disney)?
Also, if I finish my cruise(disney), will disney bring me to my dvc resort?

Disney will transport you - but they will charge you for it. There are no free transfers to the cruise ships.

there is no Magical Express to the cruise ship, you have to arrange and pay for DCL transfers with Disney Cruise Line, or rent a car, or use a car service..

To add a bit of info....as mentioned, there is no DME between WDW and port. Disney does offer a shuttle bus..it is about $60 a person, r/t...something like that, can't remember. But, it does not go to/from all Disney resorts. It has a set schedule of resort stops. It is your responsibility to get yourself and your bags to and from your particular resort to a resort that the DCL shuttle bus stops at.

Yes, DCL provides bus service from DVC resorts. It is $35 per person each way. DCL will also transport your luggage for you with this service. It will be picked up from your resort room at around 8:00 AM and delivered to your stateroom that afternoon. Busses leave from WDW resorts around 12:00 for arrival at port between 1:30 and 2:00 PM. The nice thing about getting to port later is that there is usually very small or no lines to check in, you can board the ship directly without waiting and you can go drop your carryons off in your stateroom before lunch.

I love the DCL bus service. Well worth the extra expense.

If you are staying at WDW prior to your cruise, you may check in for the cruise at the WDW resort and get your KTW card for the cruise. So you get the luck of skipping the checkin line on the cruise ship!!
I would rent a car. We rented a car from Budget at the Orlando drove over to the port where there was a Budget rental car center. Dropped the car off at the rental center. Budget has several free shuttle vans that shuttle you and your luggage to the ship. The cost of the rental $30. each way.
When the cruise was over we reported to the rental car pick up location and got on the free Budget shuttle and went back to pick up another car to go back to WDW.
So for $60 we had the leasure of getting to the boat when we wanted and it was much cheaper than Disney transportation.
Plus if there is something you forget and need to stop at a store for about 1/2 mile down the road from the Budget car center by the port, there is a Public's grocery store and a few drug stores.
Oh just in in case you did not know, there are NO drop off rental car fee's in Florida!
