Hello, were you on the earlier bus due to Castaway Club status/Concierge? We're cruising this November and already booked a night pre-cruise at the MCO Hyatt. However, since there are 11 of us (including a toddler under 2 yr), we're debating whether to get private transport to the port or pay $45 per person for DCL bus. My immediate family and I are Silver but the rest of our group are all 1st timers with DCL. Hoping to get to the port as early as possible but not sure with a lower CC status if going on the DCL bus is the safer bet? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, we were on the first bus because of our Castaway Status. Even though we were the first to arrive at the port, we still had to wait to board the ship with everyone else. People that took Disney transportation were automatically assigned boarding group 3 or 4, so even people that left on the bus a few minutes after us boarded the ship the same time that we did when they arrived at the port.
Thank you for this video, I am staying there in September and taking the DCL transportation to Port Canaveral did they check you in at the hotel or the port? I have heard conflicting information about that

They checked us in at the hotel before we boarded the bus. Once we got to the port, we just had to wait for our boarding group to be called.
@@CoconutAdventure thank you this is so helpful
Is the transportation included?
Unfortunately, no. I don’t remember the exact cost but transportation was approximately $40.00-$50.00 per person each way.
