Ahoy, Paul!
Welcome aboard the Disney Parks Moms Panel! You must be referring to the coveted
2018 Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise setting sail July 23! I've heard nothing but amazing things about this cruise in previous years. It would be so exciting setting sail with an entire ship of Disney-loving Guests!
Thank you for asking such great questions! Flying in one day prior to embarkation is a perfect plan because it gives you a cushion before setting sail in the unlikely event you experience delays during your travel day. When my family arrives early before cruising, we love flying into Orlando International Airport and staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel. We take
Disney's Magical Express from the airport to our Resort hotel and then, for an additional fee per person,
Disney Cruise Line's Ground Transportation from our Resort hotel to the Cruise Terminal the following day. Once our voyage is over, we take Disney Cruise Line's Ground Transportation back to the airport from the Cruise Terminal. Taking ground transfers makes getting to and from the Cruise Terminal a smooth-sailing experience! If you're interested in adding ground transfers onto your reservation, give the helpful agents at Disney Cruise Line a call and they will be happy to assist you.
Paul, I'm wishing you and your family of pirates an unforgettable voyage! If you have any other questions, please sail back and visit us again!
