What hotels near the airport will shuttle to the ship?

Is there any hotels near the airport that will shuttle to the ship? If so how does it work? Or any other ways to get to the ship if you are arriving in Orlando the day before the ships departure? Any info will be appreciated. Thank You

From everything I've researched over the past two years, I haven't seen any airport area hotels that shuttle to port.

There are some near the port that will shuttle you over. There is also an AVIS near port that will shuttle you if you have rented a car from them.

You can get a Disney cruise bus from WDW to the port -- you have to pay for transport, but the cruise bus will take you right back to the airport when the cruise is over. We picked the bus up at Boardwalk. There were a couple of other resorts that made cruise passenger pickups on property, but I don't recall which ones they are. Might be worth staying on property one night if you can get a decent room rate. When we used the service a couple of years ago, it was $40 round trip per person. Call DCL for more info.

Our family is taking our first disney cruise in Dec. We are staying at the hyatt and purchased transfers from the Disney cruise line. I asked the same question on a different forum "Cruise Critic" and was told that the disney bus will pick us up right at the hyatt hotel at the airport and take us directly to port. I just tell the hotel that we are taking the disney cruise and mark our bags and put them outside of our room and disney takes care of the rest.

Happy Sailing

thank you so much for your information. I found the info on cruise critic. It sounds like the Hyatt is where we will be staying also.

Pippy, well I guess that would be true, because the Hyatt is right at the airport... on other threads, I learned yes, tell the Hyatt you're on the cruise and you can leave your luggage outside of your room by 8:30 a.m. and they'll take it for you, but I believe you actually have to go to where the DCL reps are in the airport lobby, not just in the Hotel lobby.

From what I was told so far.... the dcl people check you in right in the hotel lobby morning of the cruise, not the airport lobby. Please read post dated 4/20/03 on the cruise critic disney forum board title "night before cruise hotel"

I was looking at Dave's site and found Quality Inn Airport
2601 McCoy Rd. , Orlando, FL that does transport you to the port for a fee. The webpage said $35/person round trip.
