Disney Cruise Hotels Guide

Best hotels near every Disney Cruise port - where to stay before your cruise

Planning Your Pre-Cruise Stay

Stay Near the Port vs. Disney World

If maximizing park time, stay at Disney World and use Disney Ground Transportation. For a relaxed start, stay near the port the night before.

Disney Ground Transportation Hotels

Disney offers ground transportation from Disney World hotels directly to Port Canaveral - includes early boarding privileges!

Night-Before Strategy

We recommend arriving the day before your cruise. This eliminates flight delay stress and lets you start your vacation relaxed.

Post-Cruise Stays

Many cruises arrive early. Consider a post-cruise day to explore - especially for Port Canaveral (Kennedy Space Center) or Miami (South Beach).

Port Canaveral Area

Most Disney cruises depart from Port Canaveral, making Orlando area hotels the most popular choice.
