DCL: Port Canaveral Shore Excursions

DCL: Port Canaveral Shore Excursions

There are plenty of Walt Disney World related “excursions for the 8-Night voyages  out of New York.

For those who aren’t interested in a stop at “the World” (*Gasp!* Say it ain’t so!) there are a few other options that Disney Cruise Line is now offering, they mainly revolve around sand, space and swamp.

Cocoa Beach Shuttle:


  • Travel 20 minutes to Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach. Visit the shops and restaurants at your leisure and receive a 15% discount card for the surf shop and a 10% off coupon for Sandbar Restaurant. The shuttle departs to the ship every half hour from 1pm until 6:30pm

Kennedy Space Center:

  • Travel 30 minutes to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
  • View footage of NASA astronauts in actual missions in an IMAX movie theater.
  • Take a guided tour through the Space Shuttle program from launch preparation to lift-off. Get a close up view of the Vehicle Assembly Building (one of the largest buildings in the world) where the Space Shuttle was assembled and prepared for launch.
  • Visit the Apollo/Saturn V Center. Re-live the historical launch of Apollo 8 at the Firing Room Theater, look at the 363 foot Saturn V moon rocket and witness the final moments before man landed on the moon. Have lunch in the restaurant and grab some souvenirs from the store.
  • Take a personally guided walking tour of the worlds only Rocket Garden. See actual de-commissioned rockets and explore a full-size replica of the Space Shuttle.
  • Take a ride on The Shuttle Launch Experience, a one of a kind simulator that replicates the sights, sounds and feeling of a shuttle launch.

Real Florida Airboat Adventure

  • Take a 40 minute ride to the airboat dock and learn about the port and river system (you might catch a glimpse of the Vehicle Assembly Building of the Kennedy Space Center).
  • Your 60 minute tour is narrated by a captain via voice-activated, noise cancelling headsets that will also allow you to ask questions.
  • Speed 45 miles per hour down the St. Johns River and view alligators, snakes, ospreys and turtles. Eagles, hawks, cranes, egrets and herons fly overhead. Travel past a Native American Burial ground and on to Tosohatchee Wildlife Area.
  • Hold and take pictures with a live baby alligator. Explore and meet “Baby”, the 11 foot Burmese Phython and “Porkchop”-the pot-bellied big. There is also an exotic bird and snake exhibit as well as a real working beehive on display

These excursions are for 8-night voyages out of New York to Port Canaveral only.
