From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ramada-Resort Eastgate 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Ramada-Resort Eastgate sits at 5150 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy in Kissimmee, the resort town that runs south of Disney along US-192. It is a full-service place to land after a week at sea, set right on the highway that ties the whole area together, so getting to the parks, dining, and everyday errands is straightforward once your group is settled in.
The stretch of Irlo Bronson Highway around the property is lined with resorts and pool-home communities, which gives the area a simple, spread-out feel rather than a downtown crush. For your first evening off the ship, there is ample within simple reach without needing a long drive, and the layout of this corridor means restaurants and shops sit close to where you are staying. Questions about rooms, parking, and check-in are best answered by the property directly, since those details change and the front desk is the dependable source.
If you build in extra days, Kissimmee gives you more than the theme parks. Old Town Kissimmee, with its shops and classic-car nights, is close by, and Lake Tohopekaliga, known locally as Lake Toho, draws visitors for its airboat rides across open marsh. Gatorland is also nearby for a look at Florida’s wilder side. All of it keeps you in the same corner of Kissimmee as Ramada-Resort Eastgate, so a stay here works well as a home base for a few days of exploring before or after your cruise.
Your driver is staged at the cruise terminal before your group clears the exit hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours. Once you reach the curb, the chauffeur loads every bag into the vehicle and you are settled in for one direct leg north. There is no line to stand in and no luggage to drag across the port, just a private car reserved for your group alone.
The route runs about 224.9 miles by way of Florida’s Turnpike, which keeps the journey to Ramada-Resort Eastgate a single, straight run rather than a patchwork of local roads. Plan on roughly 231 to 245 minutes for the drive, depending on traffic on the day. Tolls and fuel are already inside your flat fare, so nothing is added when you arrive, and the same door-to-door care applies when it is time to head back to the ship.
