Real Cost of Getting From Orlando Airport to a DisneyWorld Resort and Cruise

Find out how to get yourself from the Orlando Airport to DisneyWorld resorts and then on to a Disney Cruise, PLUS real numbers about what it actually cost us (in extra expenses), on TOP of our trip. All Disney transport used to be included in your vacation, and we took a 4-year break from cruising since 2020, so this was a BIG change in budget planning (and headache) for a Disney trip. Getting there used to be half the fun. Let's see if it still is...

Wow! So many inconveniences now for that trip compared to the way it used to be!

[@MilesAwaywithUs]

It is SO different now. The whole trip was still really terrific, but it is sad to see how much they have discontinued, of the prior wonderful services that made getting there part of the fun. I think from now on we'll just cruise from Ft Lauderdale 😀
