Developer Inn Highway, a Howard Johnson by Wyndham stands along the US-192 corridor in Kissimmee, at 5055 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, zip 34746. It is a Howard Johnson property under the Wyndham family, set on the long Irlo Bronson stretch that has carried central Florida travelers for decades. The address puts you on one of Kissimmee’s main arteries, an easy base for a group arriving off the ship with luggage in tow and a long day already behind them.
This part of Kissimmee is the classic value base for the parks — a run of lodging, family attractions, and roadside stops that sits minutes from the Disney gates. Old Town Kissimmee, with its carnival strip, is close by, and Gatorland along with the Kissimmee Lakefront are both within reach for anyone who stays on a few days after the cruise. The US-192 setting keeps you near the theme-park action while giving your party room to spread out.
On arrival, the hotel handles the lodging side — check-in, luggage holds, and early-arrival questions are covered on Developer Inn Highway, a Howard Johnson by Wyndham’s own page, so you can sort those details in advance. Our part is getting you and your bags to the front door. Coming straight off a cruise with children in the group is routine for us, and the property’s spot on Irlo Bronson makes the final approach simple after the long run from the coast inland to Kissimmee.
The journey begins right at your ship’s terminal at the Port of Miami. Once you clear customs and reach the luggage hall, your chauffeur is already staged at the curb, so there is no line to join and no app to open. Bags go straight into the vehicle, your group climbs in together, and the run to Kissimmee is one continuous journey with a single driver from start to finish.
