Transportation question

Hey Disney Friends!

I am traveling by car to port canaveral this April for a crusie- I was wondering the best option for us on how to get to the port.

option 1: Stay in disney for the night- use a DVC point ( i think SS is like 15) and then take the shuttle bus there. Wondering can I leave my car there? We are DVC members and pass holders, if that makes a difference.

option 2: Stay at a hotel near the port and just park in the garage while on the cruise?

Im just brainstorming here becasue a hotel is around $350, and thats about what the disney bus will cost. So Idk what to do! Help!

I don’t believe you’re allowed to park your car at any Disney resort if you are not staying there. Parking is needed for guests staying at the resort.

I like to have our car in the parking deck at the port, that way we can just hop in and go when we debark.

If you're already driving, I would just drive to the port. If the hotels right around the port are expensive, maybe look a little further out.

If you stay on Property just drive to the Port. It's only about an hour and then park in the garage

I too agree with @happycamper47 stay at a DVC resort and then drive over to the port. No waiting for the bus and you can get right on the road after the cruise. It’s about an hour drive to the port from WDW, heavy traffic could add 1/2 hour.

We sail a good bit - we use our DVC points to stay at a Disney resort the night before, drive to the port the next morning and park in the parking garage. $17 per day. I wish you could leave your car at a DVC resort and take the DCL bus, but don’t think that is an option.

Some of the hotels near the port will also allow you to leave your car in their lot while on the cruise. Probably have to book a special rate that includes that, but could be worth looking into as another option.
