From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fantasy World Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Fantasy World Resort sits in Kissimmee, the resort town that spreads south of the Disney area in central Florida. It stands along the Irlo Bronson Highway, the US-192 corridor that threads through this part of Kissimmee lined with resorts and pool-home communities. That address puts you within simple reach of the region’s theme parks while keeping you a short remove from the busiest gates, so the ride in ends on a quieter stretch than the parks themselves.
The setting is classic Kissimmee. Old Town Kissimmee, with its walkable strip of shops and rides, is close by, and Lake Tohopekaliga — Lake Toho for short — draws visitors for its airboat runs across the shallows. Gatorland, another Kissimmee fixture, is also within the area. If you build in a day beyond the parks, these are the places that fill it, all reachable from the same US-192 spine that runs past the resort.
The hotel side of your stay — amenities, luggage holds, and any early check-in arrangements — is handled directly at Fantasy World Resort’s own front desk, so it is worth confirming those details with the property before you travel. Our part is the ground transfer: getting your group and its bags from the cruise terminal to the resort door in one private vehicle, with the arrival timed so you pull up ready to check in rather than waiting on a curb.
After you disembark at the Port of Miami, your chauffeur is already staged at your ship’s terminal, coordinated by message as you clear the hall. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and the route runs up Florida’s Turnpike as a single direct leg — roughly 224.8 miles from the terminal to Fantasy World Resort. There is no line to join and no luggage to drag across the port; you step off the ship and into your own ride.
Plan on about 231 to 239 minutes door to door, depending on how the traffic falls on the day. One group rides per vehicle, so the pace, the stops, and the departure time are yours. The driver handles the loading at both ends, and the terminal wait is built into the booking, so a slow customs line never costs you the ride within that time.
