From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residence Inn Flamingo Crossings 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.
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.
Residence Inn Flamingo Crossings sits in Winter Garden, on the western side of the Walt Disney World region, where the Flamingo Crossings district gathers hotels within a short reach of the parks. For a group stepping off a cruise and heading inland, it makes a practical base — close to the attractions most travelers come for, yet set a little apart from the busiest resort corridors. This is where your ride ends: the door of the hotel, with your luggage carried the last few steps beside you.
The location is the draw. Walt Disney World Resort and EPCOT are within simple reach, and the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom sit nearby in the same Walt Disney World region. Disney Springs, with its shops and restaurants, is close enough to fold into an evening. Staying here puts those parks in the neighborhood rather than a long drive away, so the days can start early and the group can set its own pace without planning a route around anyone else.
When your vehicle pulls in, look for your driver at the main entrance — that is the meeting point, plain and simple. There is no wandering a large property to find each other and no guessing which curb is the right one. After a long ride up from the coast, the arrival is the simple part: the vehicle stops at the door, the bags come out, and the group walks into the lobby together. From there, the parks and the rest of the Walt Disney World region are yours to discover on your own schedule.
The run begins right at the cruise terminal. Once you are off the ship, your driver coordinates the pickup by message as you walk out, so the vehicle is staged around your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. Bags go straight into the vehicle, the group settles in, and the route heads inland on Florida’s Turnpike toward Winter Garden. Plan on roughly 236 miles and about 238 to 247 minutes door to door, depending on the hour and the traffic that morning.
It is one group per vehicle for the whole journey — the space is yours, and you set the departure and the pace. On a stretch this long that matters: no added stops, no strangers, and a driver who knows the port. The ride ends at the main entrance of Residence Inn Flamingo Crossings, with full luggage assist as you step out.
