Cruise to Resort

[lunchbox1175]

The information that I have states that it takes approximately 90 minutes to get from Port Canaveral to WDW. I am trying to plan out our Fast Passes and lunch reservations and was wondering if anyone had experience with this, and how long it took you to get off of the boat, thru customs, and to the resort. I was thinking we would be there by noon....is this too ambitious?

I guess it depends on how you are getting from the terminal to WDW. For our first cruise, we got off as early as possible while still having Disney handle our luggage, and we were off and waiting for our car service by 7:45. They picked us up a few minutes before 8am and we were at Pop Century by 9am. The second time, we did express and carried our luggage off ourselves and used Disney transportation. We were off at 7am and on a van by 7:15. However, we didn't leave right away, as we had to wait for more people to fill the van, and then we were the last stop, but we were still at Contemporary shortly after nine and at MK by 9:25. If you have to wait for a bus to fill, it may take longer. It will obviously also take longer if you opt to eat a sit down breakfast before leaving the ship. I think you will easily be at WDW by noon! Have a great trip!

I got off of the Disney Dream last month.

Met in the lobby and got off of the ship at 8. Got a shuttle to a rental car. D rove to WDW. Got to All Star Sports by 10:15 am.

Awesome, thanks guys, we are using Disney Transportation to the resort, so it sounds like we might get there sooner than I planned.

We have done this a lot! The secret to getting there faster? Do the express check out- when you're among the first off the ship around 715am-730am, they have vans that can take you to WDW. We usually get to our hotel by 830am and get to the parks just after rope drop! Keep in mind you will have to keep your luggage with you instead of leaving it out the night before. You'll want to meet in the lobby artrium (Deck 3) around 630am to ensure you're not far back in the line.
