From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Festiva Orlando Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Festiva Orlando Resort sits south of the Disney parks, in the Kissimmee corridor of central Florida. This is the stretch where resorts and pool-home communities line Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, the road most people know as US-192. The resort keeps you close to the theme-park side of Orlando while giving you a home base that is a little quieter than the gates themselves, with the wide, well-traveled highway running right past the front of the region.
What you locate nearby leans toward classic central-Florida attractions rather than city bustle. Old Town Kissimmee is within easy reach for an evening out, and Gatorland is a short trip away for families who desire animals over rides. Lake Tohopekaliga, the large lake locals call Lake Toho, brings airboat tours to the doorstep of the region, so a morning on the water is an easy add to any day. The mix of highway conveniences and open lakes is what gives this part of Kissimmee its particular feel.
On arrival, the drop-off covers the streets around your stay, so the ride ends at the door rather than at a distant curb. Because the resort belongs to the US-192 line of properties, getting to shops, dining, and the parks from your room is straightforward once you have settled in. Your chauffeur knows the corridor and places you where you need to be, bags and all, so the first hour after a long drive is spent unpacking and not searching for the entrance.
This is a terminal-to-door run. After you disembark, your chauffeur is waiting for your group at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the hall, so there is no wandering the pier looking for the car. Luggage rides inside your own vehicle, loaded once and unloaded at the resort, and the ride goes straight through with no other stops to make along the way.
From the port it is one continuous run north along Florida’s Turnpike to Festiva Orlando Resort, about 228 miles end to end. Plan on roughly 237 to 246 minutes terminal to door, depending on whether the Turnpike is light or heavy that day. The pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride, and the whole group travels together in one vehicle for the full drive.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
