This was very helpful, I'm planning on going with my mom next month. This is my second time staying on Resort and doing the Disney Cruise. I've known about getting the shuttle from the Airport to our Disney accommodations and it will be my first time going to the parks but I didn't know the process of getting a shuttle to the port so thank for the informative video.
Super helpful and reassuring. Thanks for sharing this video. Taking a Disney Cruise next year and was nervous about the transportation from the Disney World hotels and didn't quite understand how it works. But your video was super helpful 😊

Hi ! Going on our first DCL next year so I just found your videos, so helpful 😃 How does it work if we only wanna book a transfer with Disney from Port Canaveral to WDW for after our cruise? (We're not from the US so I can't call the help center :/)
Hi Lauura…..you are very kind……so glad you found our Disney related videos helpful! 😊 When you purchase DCL shuttle you can indicate you want it only one way from Port Canaveral to the specific WDW where you will be staying so there’s no issues at all! Hope you all have a great cruise … I’m sure you will …. it’s Disney after all! Nancy and I are booked to go again early next year and can’t wait!
Hi Hayley, Our experience was that DCL Castaway Cay status has nothing to do with the boarding time & group when using DCL transportation from WDW. We had no status and look at the great Boarding Group we were assigned. This is because DCL does not want to send a bus every 15 minutes to the same WDW resort and does not want have cruise guests hanging around the port terminal for a long time before they can board the Disney ship. When we checked in for our cruise the field where preferred boarding time was greeted out and our early boarding time already appeared for us simply because we were using DCL from a WDW resort. Hope that helps!
Hi Jonelle, For us, it was 90 mi it’s from the Grand Floridian is was about 90 minutes because we stopped at Poly to pick up other cruisers; from Poly is was just over an hour. Elevator? We weren’t looking for one so I cannot say we saw one. Yet, it’s Disney …. never had an issue with my daughter using her wheelchair in the parks or at the resort. And, 15 years ago she went with us on a DCL cruise (the Wonder I think) from Port Canaveral and had no issues boards there would have to have been an elevator there or I would remember my being upset … which I wasn’t. Hope that helps!
Hi 👋 Jonelle, I just rewatched our video and at the 7:20 mark where Nancy and I cleared the checkin, just as we were about to step on the escalator to go up to the waiting area there was an elevator on the right …. It’s pretty quick but it is there.
Do they give you an earlier boarding group if you take the transport? We are assigned 6 after our check in, but thought it would be earlier since we changed to the transport.
Hi 👋 Mrs ☺️ We got Boarding Group …. wait for it ….. 2!! Others will disagree yet the DCL person on site we spoke with told us she’s always seen GF and Poly guests BG 2 …. and we had no DCL status …. so now we ALWAYS make a point to stay at least the night before at a WDW DVC resort as we plan to continue to take the DCL bus (so convenient and for the price it’s all great) to Port Canaveral Hope you and your family have a great 👍 cruise 🚢
Can’t park car at a WDW Disney hotel as far as I know …. The DCL shuttle bus cost each of us us $39 each way in f you have your own car I’d recommend staying the night before at one of the several hotels at Port Canaveral area the night before then using one of the parking options at the port or just off the port …. since we’ve not personally done that I can’t recommend any for you more that what a quick Google search would provide
The reason I asked was that I was intrigued about not dealing with luggage at the port. We live in Florida and generally stay ay the Hilton Lake Buena Vista the night before, walk over the bridge and have dinner at Disney Springs and then drive to the Port the next morning. It is 63 miles and it usually takes us 1 hour and 10 minutes @@NanDanTravel

Very informative video, thank you. If I already have DCL silver status will getting this transport option ‘bump me’ to an earlier boarding group?

@@NanDanTravel brilliant, thank you! Very helpful. Will definitely be using DCL transport after watching this.
Hi! Was it really 90 min for the bus ride or shorter? Also is there an elevator by the escalators for wheelchair users?

@@2htoohorse where are you staying the night before? And is that Disney resort reservation in your My Disney Experience account?
@@NanDanTravel art of animation- and yes it is
@@2htoohorse were you able to manually select a arrival / boarding time or was that field greeted out when you checked in online for your cruise?
Question: which boarding group did you have?
Hi 👋 Mrs ☺️ We got Boarding Group …. wait for it ….. 2!!

Do you know if there are any toilets on the bus? TIA
Good Morning 😃 Sabine, our bus did …. from research they are said to all have a bathroom on board
@@NanDanTravel thank you!
How much for the bus? How much to park your car at the hotel?
