Pre Disney cruise hotel suggestions

When traveling in to board your cruise, it's highly suggested to book a hotel the night before you board. If you miss your boat, they don't wait!

Here are some suggestions:

Hyatt Airport 

Hyatt Airport is located inside MCO Orlando National Airport. Free continental breakfast, convenient location. You can also skip baggage claim and a hotel staff member will bring your luggage to your room (fees apply). 

Residence Inn Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach

Residence Inn Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach is an all-suite hotel with a nice Florida-style ambiance and a heated pool and whirlpool. Your stay includes a FREE hot breakfast buffet. Rooms feature FREE high-speed Internet access.

There are three room types: studios (bedroom with king bed, living room area with sofabed but not separated by a wall), 1-bedroom suites (one bedroom with two queen beds, one bath, separate living room with sofabed) and 2-bedroom suites (two bedrooms, each with a king bed, two baths, separate living room with sofabed).

All room types include a full kitchen with stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. Beds at the Residence Inn are equipped with high-quality mattresses and bedding. Bathrooms have granite countertops.

This hotel does not have a restaurant (just a breakfast room where the complimentary breakfast is served), but there are several restaurants within a mile of the hotel.

The Residence Inn offers “Park and Cruise” packages that allow you to park your car in their lot during your cruise. The packages include a certain number of vouchers for the shuttle to Port Canaveral. If you are not on such a package, you can pay separately for parking ($6/day) and the hotel offers a shuttle to Port Canaveral for $6 per person round trip. If you don’t want to use the shuttle, you can take a taxi to the port from this hotel for around $10. Try Checker Cab at (321) 799-0377. Thanks to Jamie D for additional info.

Country Inn & Suites Cape Canaveral

Country Inn & Suites Cape Canaveral is located virtually next door to the Residence Inn, so they are about the same distance from the port. Your stay includes a FREE hot breakfast buffet every morning. The hotel has a fitness center, FREE high-speed Internet access, outdoor heated pool with dedicated children’s pool area and waterfall hot tub, and shuttle service to the port.

There are four room types: standard rooms with one King bed or two Queen beds; children’s themed suites with one Queen bed and a separate kid’s room area with two bunk beds and a twin bed; one-bedroom suites with one King or two Queen beds and a separate living room area with a queen sleeper sofa; and Jacuzzi suites featuring one King bed with oversized corner Jacuzzi garden tub.
