Disney Cruise Line Parking Fee Update at Port Canaveral

ChloƩ Ferreira

If you’re dreaming of a Disney cruise, Port Canaveral is one of the best places to start your adventure. This popular Florida port is a major hub for several cruise lines and is especially well-known as a departure point for Disney Cruise Line. Current sailings include Bahamian and Caribbean itineraries aboard theĀ Disney Treasure, Disney Wish,Ā Disney Fantasy, andĀ Disney Magic, with select voyages offering seasonal fun like Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime Cruises. You can also take advantage of a special Disney Visa Cardmember offer for a $250 onboard credit on select fall 2025 sailings!

Before you head to the port, there’s one important update to keep in mind: parking rates have changed.


As of October 2025, the daily cruise parking fee at Port Canaveral has increased from $17 to $20 per night, per vehicle. This flat rate applies regardless of vehicle size and includes both the day you board and the day you return. For example: parking for a 3-night cruise now totals $80, plus tax.

This marks the first parking rate increase at the port since 2017. The updated pricing is now listed on the official Port Canaveral website under the Directions & Parking section.

According to WFTV 9, Florida Commissioners have been considering the price increase, as the port experiences record passenger traffic. With 8.4 million travelers already passing through this year alone, and a projected 9 million expected in 2026, officials say the increase helps support growing infrastructure needs.

Whether you’re cruising for the first time or a returning Castaway Club member, Port Canaveral continues to be a convenient and magical place to begin your Disney voyage. While it’s convenient to park your car at the port, there are other nearby options offering lesser rates. Or, if you’re flying in, there’s always Disney’s own shuttle transfer from Orlando International Airport (MCO) or their own Walt Disney World Resort hotels.
