From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to West Gates 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.
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.
West Gates Resort sits inside the Walt Disney World area, the part of Central Florida built around the theme parks and everything that surrounds them. When you reach, you are within reach of the neighborhood most families come here for: the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney Springs are all close by, so the resort works as a base for whichever park sits at the top of your list.
Just outside the resort gates you find Celebration, the planned town known for its tidy streets and picket fences. It gives the surrounding area a quieter, residential feel that sits alongside the busy park entrances, and it is a simple detour when you want a slower afternoon between park days. The mix of the two is part of the appeal here: theme-park energy when you want it, calm streets when you don’t.
Our service reaches every address in the Walt Disney World area, so the drop-off is planned for the exact entrance at West Gates Resort rather than a distant lot. Whatever the size of your group, the vehicle is yours for the whole run from the port, and your driver carries the bags to the curb beside you at the end.
West Gates Resort sits about 232 miles by road from Port of Miami, and the run takes roughly 230 to 240 minutes along Florida’s Turnpike, depending on traffic and the hour you leave. Your driver is staged at the exact terminal your cruise line uses and is in place before you clear the disembarkation hall, so the wait at the crowded terminal exits belongs to the driver, not to you.
Once you and your bags are loaded, it is a single door-to-door leg from the port straight to the resort entrance. The luggage rides with you in the same vehicle the whole way, and there are no added stops or strangers along the route. You set the departure time and the pace, and after four or so hours on the Turnpike the group steps out at West Gates Resort with the bags carried to the curb.

Last leg of a long travel day handled without fuss. Will book ahead next visit.
We didn’t want to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to West Gates Resort. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a comfortable ride over to West Gates Resort. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
After a week at sea I only wanted the ride handled, so a private car from the port to West Gates Resort was exactly right. The ride from the terminal to West Gates Resort was quiet and relaxed, and I could just unwind after the cruise.
Coming ashore by myself, I had a driver waiting at the terminal for the ride to West Gates Resort — nothing left to chance. I’ve already saved them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. Getting to West Gates Resort first thing meant I could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
