From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Celebration World Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Celebration World Resort sits in Kissimmee, along the US-192 and Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway corridor that has long been the value base for travelers heading to the parks. This stretch is lined with vacation homes and family lodging, and it keeps you within simple reach of the Disney area without putting you in the middle of it. The resort gives your group a home base on the classic Kissimmee tourist strip while staying close to everything you came to see.
The neighborhood carries the relaxed, carnival-flavored character that Kissimmee is known for. Old Town Kissimmee, with its walkable run of shops and rides, is one of the local landmarks nearby. Lake Tohopekaliga draws visitors who desire open water and wildlife, and Gatorland, one of the area’s long-running gator attractions, sits within the same Kissimmee corridor. Families tend to settle in here for the mix of budget-friendly lodging and quick access to the parks.
When you arrive, you step out at the door of Celebration World Resort rather than a curbside drop somewhere down the road. The US-192 corridor around the resort is dense with the everyday things a traveling group needs, so getting settled after a long day of journey is simple. If you are building extra days around Kissimmee, the surrounding area gives you ample to fill them with once you are checked in and unpacked.
The run begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, where the driver is organized by message as your group clears the exit and meets you at the curb. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and from the pier it is a single journey north along Florida’s Turnpike. The route covers about 234.7 miles and normally takes between 237 and 246 minutes, ending at the door of Celebration World Resort.
Because the vehicle is reserved for your party alone, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, with thousands of passengers walking off the ships at once, so the plan already accounts for the turnpike traffic, and 60 minutes of courtesy wait is built into every port pickup. Once you are on the road, the luggage stays with you the whole way, door to door.

Los pequeños estaban rendidos tras una semana en el mar cuando bajamos, y una van privada ya en la acera llevó a todos a Celebration World Resort sin dramas. El viaje de la terminal a Celebration World Resort fue silencioso y relajado, y pudimos ver pasar la ciudad. La sillita para el niño estaba ya instalada, lo que fue una gran ayuda esa mañana.
Sin fila de taxis — bajamos del barco y un auto privado y limpio estaba ahí mismo, y directo a Celebration World Resort. Muy recomendable.
On time, professional, and the driver knew exactly where Celebration World Resort was.
I was sailing by myself and arranged a private car to meet me at the cruise terminal once the ship docked and take me right over to Celebration World Resort. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so I never had to rush through customs. I was dropped straight at the door of Celebration World Resort, not across the street.
With the whole crew, pre-booking a private car from the terminal to Celebration World Resort meant no stress on disembarkation morning. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
