In Short: How to Combine a Disney World and Disney Cruise Vacation

At the time of this article’s publication, the Disney Wish is prepping for her maiden voyage on July 14, and a tide of excitement towards Disney Cruise Line has begun to flow back into Port Canaveral. The home port of Disney’s grandest ship in the fleet is just a short drive away from the Walt Disney World Resort, so we at Disney Fanatic thought it prudent to shed some light on how families can combine a Disney Cruise with a visit to the Most Magical Place On Earth.

Disney Cruise Line has made it easy to visit Disney World and enjoy a Disney Cruise on the same trip: The Disney Cruise Line Land and Sea Vacation Package.

Disney Cruise Line’s Land and Sea Vacation Package

Simply divide your vacation time between a stay at the Parks and a voyage across the sea. And the experts at Disney Cruise Line are standing by to help you make that happen with the “Land and Sea Vacation Package.”

Disney Cruise Line describes the dual experience, in part, as the following:

It’s easy to spend time at Walt Disney World Resort if you plan on departing from or arriving in Port Canaveral, Florida, on a Disney Cruise—it’s approximately an hour-long drive away!..

…Convenient transfers can be arranged to take you to and from Port Canaveral, Walt Disney World Resort and Orlando International Airport. With a big blue ocean to explore and four amazing theme parks, your enchanted vacation awaits!

Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of 3 to 10-night sailings departing out of Port Canaveral over the course of the year that takes Guests to Disney’s Private Island, Castaway Cay, Nassau, Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, and elsewhere across the Caribbean Sea. While Disney’s Magical Express may be retired, Disney Cruise Line’s motor coach equivalent is still in full operation, making movement to and from each location a breeze whether you choose to visit Disney World before or after your cruise.

Prices vary for a variety of different factors such as reservation tiers, departure dates, and trip duration. Port Canaveral, Florida, will be the home of the Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy while the Disney Dream, Disney Magic, and Disney Wonder sail elsewhere in the Caribbean, Pacific, and the Mediterranean.
