Disney Cruise Transportation at Port Canaveral FAQs

The drive from Walt Disney World and nearby resorts in Lake Buena Vista or Kissimmee to Port Canaveral typically takes about 60–75 minutes by private car.

Under normal conditions you can expect roughly a 70-minute ride via SR 417 and SR 528 (Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway). On peak cruise weekends and major holidays, we recommend allowing a little extra time for heavier traffic near the port.

Disney Cruise Line shuttle buses are typically charged per person and depart on fixed schedules, often after waiting for buses to fill and making multiple stops.

Ace Luxury charges a flat rate per vehicle for private transportation from Disney World to Port Canaveral. Your family or group has a dedicated vehicle, leaves on your preferred timetable, and travels directly from your Disney Resort to the cruise terminal with no shared stops or bus changes.

Yes. We provide door-to-door private transportation from all Walt Disney World Resort hotels as well as nearby Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee properties to the Port Canaveral cruise terminals.

Your chauffeur meets you at your resort at the scheduled pickup time, assists with luggage, and drives you straight to your ship’s terminal entrance for a smooth start to your cruise day.

Ace Luxury has been providing Disney cruise transportation since 1997, when Disney Cruise Line began sailing from Port Canaveral.

With decades of experience handling transfers between Disney World, Orlando International Airport (MCO), local hotels, and Port Canaveral, our team understands cruise schedules, boarding windows, and the timing needed for a stress-free connection.

Most guests leave their Disney Resort between 10:30 am and 12:30 pm on cruise day.

This pickup window typically gets you to Port Canaveral in time for early afternoon boarding while avoiding the longest check-in lines. We can fine-tune your pickup based on your ship, boarding group, and whether you prefer to board earlier or closer to departure time.

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the most convenient airport when cruising from Port Canaveral.

Port Canaveral is located about 48 miles east of MCO, and the drive usually takes around 45 minutes by private car. Many guests fly into Orlando, enjoy a Walt Disney World stay, and then use our private transportation to connect to their cruise ship in Port Canaveral.

For same-day cruises, we generally recommend scheduling your flight into MCO to arrive between 10:00 am and 11:30 am, with an absolute latest arrival around 1:30 pm.

For flights after your cruise, most guests are comfortable booking departures after about 10:45 am. Earlier flights may be possible when using certain airline baggage programs that let you check bags directly from the ship; we can help you plan timing based on your cruise line and airline.

At Orlando International Airport, your chauffeur will meet you inside the terminal on the baggage claim level, holding a sign with your name and assisting with your luggage.

At the Disney Cruise Line or other Port Canaveral terminals, your driver will meet you just outside the main exit area once you have collected your bags and cleared customs, making it easy to find your private vehicle and continue your day.

Absolutely! Instead of waiting at the airport for hours, maximize your vacation with our "Stopover Service." Since Kennedy Space Center is located just minutes from the port, it is the most popular choice. We can also take you to Disney Springs or the Florida Mall.

The best part? Your luggage stays safe and secure in the vehicle with your chauffeur while you explore. When you're ready, we drive you straight to MCO for your flight home.

We go above and beyond providing luxury transportation from Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral, Florida.
