✨Take a limo to the port? WHY NOT?!✨🚘
Our most recent trip was all about going big or going home! 😂
As I’ve mentioned, this was the first time our kids had ever gone to Disney with their cousins, and we wanted to make it as special as possible for everyone. It was also a milestone trip because we were celebrating their Poppy’s 70th birthday, so we decided to really lean into the celebration!
One thing we kept secret from the kids until the very last minute? Instead of taking our traditional Disney Cruise Line transfers to the port, we booked a STRETCH LIMO! 🎉
Now, Disney Cruise Line transfers are almost always my top recommendation for getting to the port. They’re convenient, reliable, and there are some great perks that come with using them.
BUT… there are definitely situations where private transportation can make more sense.
For example, if you have a larger group and can split the cost of a private transfer between everyone, it can often be less expensive than Disney transfers.
In our case, we decided to spend just a little bit more and go with the stretch limousine as an extra special treat. And let me tell you… the kids felt pretty darn special rolling up to the port in our “sick ride.” 😂😎
One thing we did give up by choosing the limo was an earlier port arrival time that can come with Disney Cruise Line transportation.
Thankfully, we had someone in each stateroom who was either Platinum or Gold Castaway status, so we were still able to snag decent arrival times and it really wasn’t a big deal for us.
It was worth it for the surprise.
It was worth it for the excitement.
And it was absolutely worth seeing the kids’ faces when that limo pulled up. ❤️
A huge shoutout to Happy Limo, who took excellent care of us and got our whole crew to the port safely and on time! 🚘✨
Sometimes the little extras are what turn a great vacation into a core memory. 💙
And yes, I’ll always help you figure out when Disney transportation makes the most sense and when it might be worth thinking outside the box! 😉
