Check In Process / Port Canaveral Transportation

Checking In and Getting to Port Canaveral
Of all the Disney resort experiences, we have found check-in at Disney Cruise Line to be virtually painless, and very quick.
Just like at airports, you'll first pass through a security screening. From there its up the escalator (or elevator) to the check-in area. Here you'll find a long counter manned by some of the friendliest Cast Members you'll find at Disney.
In order to make this as effortless and quick as possible, have all of the forms in your cruise packet filled out beforehand. Every member of your party does need to do this. If you have you confirmation number, you can also fill out your forms online at the official Disney Cruise Line website.
Also be sure to you fill out your US Customs paperwork, and ensure that everything is properly signed.
You need to have the proper ID and documentation for every member of your party.

Disney Cruise Line Ground Transfers
In terms of getting to Port Canaveral, you have several options. The first, and more expensive option is to purchase transfers with your Disney Cruise Line reservation. Included with your transfer is baggage handling. You place a special luggage tag on your bags, check them at your departing airport, and the next time you see them will be in your stateroom. You'll be greeted by a Disney Cruise Line representative as you disembark the plane (they wait in the rotunda of Orlando Int'l Airport). They will guide you to your bus, and it's off to the ship you go. Of course, if you have a land/sea vacation, then your bags will be brought to your hotel first (provided you purchased the land/sea vacation with cruise line. This won't work if you're staying at hotels off property).
NOTE: All Disney Cruise Line transportation is provided by motor coaches.

Town Car Service to the Disney Cruise
 Depending on how many are traveling in your party, you might want to consider a town car service as your ground transportation. For what you will end up paying for a ride on the Disney bus, you can get personal transportation for less, or even a Limousine.
There are plenty of Orlando Transportation companies out there, but it is important that you just don't base your decision on who has the lowest prices. Are they reliable? How long have they been in business? What is included in the rate? Are their vehicles clean and properly insured? Are there hidden charges? Click Here for Rates

Driving to the Disney Cruise Line
From the Orlando International Airport, the port is just a short drive along Florida's Beachline Expressway (S.R. 528) to reach the cruise terminals, restaurants, parks, beach and other places of business and recreation.
Port Canaveral is even closer to Melbourne International Airport. From the airport follow signs to eastbound U.S. 192, cross the Indian River and turn north on SR A1A. Drive along the coast until you reach Port Canaveral. Or take, U.S. 192, westbound to Interstate 95 and drive north to the Beeline Expressway's east exit.
From the Daytona Beach International Airport, go east to Interstate 95, then drive south to the Beeline Expressway's east exit.
Once you arrive at the port, finding the cruise terminals is easy. Signs along the highway clearly chart your course. Cruise Terminals 5 and 9/10 are located on the north side of the port and can be reached via SR 401. Cruise Terminals 2, 3 and 4 are on the south side near Jetty Park. Just turn left off SR 528 into Port Canaveral, then make a right turn onto George King Boulevard and follow the signs.
Parking at the Port is $15 a day.
