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.

- 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.
