Hello Fellow Disney Enthusiasts!
I booked my first cruise EVER in life for myself with my boyfriend for a 4 night cruise to the Bahamas on the Dream on February 2, 2015. Since this is our first cruise, I really don't know what to expect. We've visited WDW property annually for the past 3 years and are very familiar with the Magical Express and WDW. I've done a ridiculous amount of research on the cruise to get the most out this experience (we started making our own magnets and recently joined a fish extender group). Factoring in the Disney Cruise into a WDW vacation has left me with many questions with trying to find my best option to getting to Port Canaveral efficiently and economically for the two of us.
A little bit about what we're working with:
We're coming from California and decided to take a short weekend trip to WDW to make the most of our flights across the country. We'll be staying at the Pop Century resort from Friday-Monday. Our cruise is from Monday-Friday. I've added the Disney Cruise ground transportation but have not connected the cruise and resort reservations because I don't want to get to the port late and read some reviewers got to the port as late as 2:30pm coming from a WDW resort! We would love to spend as much time on the ship as we can (and would love to get to the port as early as we can) and would love some feedback on your experiences with Disney Ground transportation. Here's some questions stirring in my head:
- Does the Magical Express take you to the airport even if you don't have a flight?
- Is it more efficient for me to take the ME to the airport and check in for the cruise at the airport? Then take the DC Bus to Port Canaveral?
- We're also considering canceling our one way Disney Cruise bus trip from the airport to the port and going with Uber instead. Has anyone used Uber to get to Port Canaveral?
Thank you in advance!
