From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Oakwater Resort Kissimmee in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Oakwater Resort sits in Kissimmee, along West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, and your driver brings you right to the entrance at 7834 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy. It is a community of rental villas rather than a single tower, the kind of place families settle into for a week after a cruise. When you reach, the car pulls up to the address itself, bags carried to the curb beside you, so there is no long walk from a distant lot.
The resort belongs to the Davenport and Clermont area, the stretch that opens up west of I-4’s Disney exits. This is where ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort spread out into golf resorts and rental villas, with the theme parks only minutes down the road while the heaviest crowds stay behind you. It makes for a quieter home base than the busy corridors closer to the parks, and it keeps the whole family together in one place.
There is more than golf and parks within reach here. The Clermont chain of lakes lies neighboring, along with Lake Louisa State Park, if you desire a slower day outdoors between cruise and flight home. Reunion Resort and ChampionsGate stay close for anyone chasing a tee time. Oakwater itself gives you a villa to spread out in, the parks a short hop away, and enough open green space around the Davenport and Clermont area to feel unhurried once the ship is behind you.
The ride runs door to door from your cruise terminal on Dodge Island straight to Oakwater Resort, with no stops in between. Your driver follows Florida’s Turnpike for the roughly 234.3-mile run, so plan on somewhere around 236 to 246 minutes from the terminal to the entrance, depending on how the traffic moves. Your luggage rides in the vehicle with you, and the group travels together the whole way.
Because ships rarely clear everyone at the same minute, the pickup is planned around your actual arrival, and the wait time built into the booking covers customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is already there, and the driver meets your group at the curb by your ship’s terminal. From that first hello it is one straight run west to Kissimmee, with the bags carried for you at both ends.
