How far would you drive the morning of your cruise?

Forward thinking since it is far cheaper for us to drive to WDW/Port Canaveral (~$200 round trip + parking vs ~$800-$1,000 for airfare and transfers). Where would you stay if you could not make it all the way down the day before?

It is a ~9-hour drive for us. We would be leaving around 3:30PM. We could be in Jacksonville by 10PM leaving a 2-hour drive the next morning. I would say we would be on the road again no later than 7AM. Our plan would be to park at one of the non-Disney parking facilities and use their transportation to the ship.

If this is being done on a weekday then you are severely underestimating the power of Florida traffic. If it's a weekend it really doesn't matter.

With a two hour drive, and even a three hour delay, they would still be there by noon. All aboard is at 345, there is still plenty of wiggle room. I just wouldn't want to sit in that much traffic.

If we did this, it would be a Friday night drive with a Saturday morning finish. If we wind up doing a 7-day WDW and 7-day cruise, my plan would be to do the cruise the second week of the trip.
