Dad started out this week, on Sunday, singing the song from Sesame Street which asks. “Can you tell how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?” I thinks that a pretty good premise to end the week on. Yes, just how are we going to get to Port Canaveral and our DISNEY CRUISE on the DISNEY DREAM????

The obvious way is to ride on one of those big blue Disney Cruise Luxury Escorted Motor Coaches. But is that the best way? Let’s take a peak.
Disney Cruise Bus
First lets take a look at the bus. (Disney Cruise Luxury Escorted Motor Coach) Disney has expanded it’s bus service to include a whole fleet of buses dedicated to the Disney Cruise Lines. They are even painted to match the beautiful Disney Cruise ships. A round trip from either the airport or a Walt Disney World hotel is around $70 per person. (Disney Cruise transportation only stops at the Disney Hotels and the airport.) If you are staying offsite you can arrange transportation to and from the airport.
Town Cars
If you want to go in style, you might want to check out a Town Car. Orlando is home to the biggest fleet of Town Cars in the world (except maybe Washington DC, and New York City, and … but there are a bunch of them). You can rent a Town Car for 4 (any Town Car companies that would like to advertise here, make sure to contact Dad) around $225 dollars (tip not included) or so round trip. (Which if you have a family of 4 will save you over $50.) This is really a cool way to get to Port Canaveral. Very upscale with your own driver.
Drive Yourself
As much as Dad likes to drive himself everywhere, this might not be the best option. If you are renting a car, your car ends up sitting in a parking lot for 3, 4, 5 or 7 days. You pay for a car that isn’t being used. Not a good idea. Plus parking at Port Canaveral costs $60, $75, $90 or $120 just to park your car. Parking is in a parking garage. There is preferred parking for $25 per night. It takes about an hour and a half to get from Walt Disney World to Disney’s Cruise Ship Terminal.

Probably the best way for Mrs. Mom and me to get to the Disney Dream and out dream Disney Cruise is to let Disney do the driving. We’ll probably drop off the rental car at the airport and catch the bus there. Or, we might (don’t tell Mrs. Mom I’m even considering this, she’ll kill me) just let Disney do the driving for the whole first week, and maybe for the whole trip. I don’t know if I can pull that off, but we might try it out.
So for now, Dad and Mrs. Mom will be riding one of those beautiful blue buses (did I mention dark blue is Dad’s favorite color) from Walt Disney World to our Disney Cruise.
Tomorrow is Healthy Habits Saturday. Dad has a whole lot of good stuff. Make sure to check back.

Hey, Dumbo, we need a car if we are going to church on Sunday.
Prince Charming and I did not use a car at all. Disney transportation was not that bad when we went. The only dissapointment was the monorail being broken.
