5 ways to get from Port Canaveral to Disney World
Prices are one way. A shuttle or bus charges by the seat; a private ride charges once for the whole vehicle.
| Option | Who can use it | Family of 4 | Group of 10 | Door to door? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JOB private minivan, SUV or van | Anyone | From $179 | From $249 | Yes, terminal to your resort |
| Disney Cruise Line motorcoach | Disney Cruise Line guests only | $180 ($45 each, ages 3 and up) | $450 | Shared bus to Disney resort hotels |
| Shared shuttle | Anyone | $140 ($35 each) | $350 | Shared ride |
| Uber or Lyft XL | Anyone; an XL seats up to 6 | Metered, surge pricing | Two cars needed | Yes |
| Rental car | Licensed drivers | Rental, one-way fee, tolls and resort parking | Two cars or a 15-passenger van | You drive |
The bus fare is as reported by Resort Rat (confirm with Disney Cruise Line), and the ride must be tied to a Disney Cruise Line reservation. The shared fare is Port Canaveral Connection's published $35 per person. Checked October 2026.
Cost per person: private van vs the Disney cruise bus and shared shuttles
| Riders | Disney Cruise Line bus | Shared shuttle | JOB vehicle and flat price | JOB per person |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 riders | $180 | $140 | Minivan, $179 | $44.75 |
| 6 riders | $270 | $210 | Minivan, $179 | $29.83 |
| 8 riders | $360 | $280 | 12-passenger van, $249 | $31.13 |
| 10 riders | $450 | $350 | 12-passenger van, $249 | $24.90 |
| 12 riders | $540 | $420 | 12-passenger van, $249 | $20.75 |
| 14 riders | $630 | $490 | 14-passenger van, $269 | $19.21 |
For 4 riders the cost is about even with the Disney Cruise Line bus, and every larger group pays less in one private vehicle. From 8 riders up it also beats the shared shuttle, and so does a full minivan of 6. A full 14-passenger van costs less than half of 14 bus seats. Under-3s ride the bus free, so count only riders aged 3 and up.
As Orlando International Airport's cruise-transfer page notes, taxis charge per trip while shuttles charge per person. For the full breakdown, read Disney Cruise Line transportation cost.
Which vehicle fits your group and your cruise luggage?
Up to 6 riders fit a minivan or SUV; 7 to 14 fit a Ford Transit van. After a cruise, count suitcases too.
- 1 to 6 riders: a minivan, which fits your luggage, or an Expedition or Suburban SUV, which fits your luggage (we confirm the fit when you book).
- 7 to 12 riders: the 12-passenger Ford Transit, which fits your luggage (we confirm the fit when you book).
- 10 to 14 riders, or a big pile of bags: the 14-passenger Ford Transit, which fits your luggage (we confirm the fit when you book).
- More than 14: a van plus an SUV, or two vans. See our private group van shuttle.
Traveling with little ones? We carry seats and boosters for each child's age and size, following NHTSA guidance: rear-facing as long as possible, a booster until the seat belt fits, and the back seat through age 12. More on car service with car seats.
Pickup at every Port Canaveral cruise terminal
Port Canaveral allows meet and greet only in designated areas, and at Cruise Terminal 8 it happens at the curb. The Port also requires every fare to be pre-arranged and pre-paid, so book before you sail.

Not sailing Disney? Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian and MSC
Disney's resort bus is only for Disney Cruise Line guests, so other lines' passengers staying at a Disney resort need another way to the ship.
Royal Caribbean
Most Royal Caribbean ships sail from Cruise Terminal 1; Explorer of the Seas uses Terminal 5. Royal Caribbean says guests who booked their own flights handle their own transfers, so a pre-booked ride from your resort straight to the terminal is simplest. Coming back, your color luggage tag sets your walk-off time, and we plan pickup around it.
Carnival
Carnival's Orlando transfers meet at Orlando International Airport, Terminal B, Level 1, on embarkation and debarkation days only. From a Disney resort you would have to reach the airport first. A private van goes straight to Terminal 3 or 6.
Norwegian and MSC
Norwegian sails from Terminals 5, 6 and 10 and asks guests to vacate staterooms by 8:00 AM on the last morning. MSC Seashore uses Terminal 10, and self-assist walk-off generally starts around 7:00 AM.
Getting to your Disney resort after the cruise
Most ships arrive at Port Canaveral between 6:00 and 7:00 AM. Disney Cruise Line ships typically return by 7:30 AM, with staterooms vacated by 8:00 AM. Tell us your ship and whether you will carry your own bags off, and we time the pickup to match.
You will likely reach your resort before your room is ready. Disney's Bell Services can hold your bags and deliver them later, so you can head straight to a park.
- 6 to 7 AMShips arrive
Most ships dock in this window, per the Port's 2026 schedule.
- 8:00 AMStaterooms vacated
Disney Cruise Line and Norwegian both ask guests out by 8:00 AM.
- Your timeJOB pickup
Set around your ship and walk-off plan, then a grocery stop if you want one.
Disney World to Port Canaveral on embarkation day
Your cruise line assigns a port arrival time. Leave your Disney resort about 90 minutes before it: a 55 to 75 minute drive plus a traffic cushion. With a private ride, you choose the time.
Staying in Lake Buena Vista, Kissimmee or Celebration instead? See Orlando hotels and vacation homes to Port Canaveral.
Flying home the same day as you dock? Our Port Canaveral baggage hold keeps your bags while you explore, then takes you to MCO.
| Area | Example resorts |
|---|---|
| Magic Kingdom | Contemporary, Polynesian Village, Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness |
| EPCOT | BoardWalk, Beach Club, Yacht Club, Caribbean Beach, Riviera, Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve |
| Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios | Animal Kingdom Lodge, Coronado Springs, All-Star Movies, Music and Sports, Pop Century, Art of Animation |
| Disney Springs | Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside |
Airport, Disney and cruise: one company for every leg
Flying into MCO, staying at Disney, then sailing? We drive all three legs.
| Leg | SUV, up to 6 | 14-passenger van |
|---|---|---|
| MCO to your Disney resort | $109 | $179 |
| Disney resort to Port Canaveral | $189 | $269 |
| Port Canaveral to MCO | $169 | $249 |
| All three legs | $467 | $697 |
| Per person, full vehicle | $77.83 | $49.79 |
For Disney Cruise Line guests going by bus, the same three legs cost about $108.66 per adult: Mears Connect from MCO at about $18.66 with its fuel surcharge, plus $45 for each Disney Cruise Line leg. For 14 adults, that is about $1,521.
At MCO, your driver meets you inside the terminal with a name sign. Leg by leg: Orlando airport to Disney World, Orlando airport to Port Canaveral and Port Canaveral to Orlando airport.

Frequently asked questions
Sailing from Port Canaveral?
Call, text or WhatsApp us with your ship, sail date, resort and group size. We reply with a flat price.
How far is Port Canaveral from Disney World?
Port Canaveral is about 60 miles from the Walt Disney World area. The drive takes roughly 55 to 75 minutes via SR 417 and SR 528, the Beachline Expressway, both toll roads, depending on your resort and traffic.
Does Disney provide transportation from Port Canaveral to Disney World?
Only for Disney Cruise Line guests. Disney's motorcoach between the port and Disney resort hotels costs $45 per person each way for ages 3 and up and must be tied to a Disney Cruise Line reservation. Other cruisers need a shuttle, rideshare, rental car or private transfer.
What is the best way to get from Disney to Port Canaveral for a Royal Caribbean cruise?
Book a private ride from your Disney resort straight to Cruise Terminal 1, where most Royal Caribbean ships sail. Disney's bus is only for Disney Cruise Line guests, so a pre-booked SUV or van is the most direct option.
How much is an Uber from Port Canaveral to Disney World?
There is no published fare. Third-party estimates put an UberXL at $95 to $120 for the shorter 42 to 45 mile airport-to-port trip, with surges of 1.5 to 2 times on debarkation mornings. The Disney trip is longer, so expect to pay more, and an XL seats only 6.
What time can you pick us up after the cruise?
Most ships dock at Port Canaveral between 6:00 and 7:00 AM. We set your pickup around your ship's arrival and your walk-off plan, and your driver waits for you.
Can we stop at a grocery store or Kennedy Space Center on the way to Disney?
Yes. Grocery stops are available on the way (arranged when you book). Kennedy Space Center does not allow luggage inside, so ask us about a stop there when you book and we will tell you how we look after your bags.
Do you provide car seats and boosters?
Yes. We carry seats and boosters for each child's age and size, and car seats and boosters are priced when you book. Tell us each child's age and weight when you book so we bring the right seat.
Can 14 people and their cruise luggage fit in one van?
Our 14-passenger Ford Transit seats 14 and fits your luggage. Tell us your bag count when you book; if the bags outgrow one van, we can add an SUV.
