 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The was a great experience. Sam was great and very communicative. The price we paid was extremely reasonable and arguably cheaper than all the other options we called. This will more than likely be our go to shuttle service if we sail out of Houston again.

Disney Cruise Galveston Transportation FAQs

Which terminal does Disney Cruise Line use in Galveston?

Disney Cruise Line sails from Galveston Cruise Terminal 28 (Pier 28), directly across from Terminal 25. Your chauffeur drops your family at the terminal curb.

Which Disney ship sails from Galveston?

The Disney Magic sails from Galveston, with four-, five-, and seven-night cruises. We provide transfers for every Disney sailing from the port.

How much is a private family ride to the Disney cruise terminal?

One-way flat rates from IAH or Hobby are $200 for a luxury SUV, $225 for a Chevrolet Suburban, $175 for a passenger van, and $325 for a 14-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Rates are per vehicle, not per person, the same any day of the week, and gratuity is added at checkout.

Do you provide child car seats?

Yes. Rear-facing infant seats, forward-facing toddler seats, and booster seats are available for $15 per seat. Tell us each child's age when you book, and the seats will be installed before pickup.

Which vehicle is best for my family?

A luxury SUV fits up to 6 passengers and 6 bags, and a Chevrolet Suburban up to 7 passengers and 6 bags. For families traveling together, strollers, or extra luggage, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries up to 14 passengers and 14 bags. Car seats take up seat space, so count each child as a passenger.

How early should we be picked up for our Disney sailing?

We recommend scheduling IAH pickups 3.5 to 4 hours before your assigned Disney boarding time, and Hobby pickups about 3 hours before, to allow for I-45 traffic and a quick stop with the kids if needed.

What time should we book our flight home after a Disney cruise?

Guests usually leave the ship in the early morning. We recommend booking flights after 12:00 pm from Hobby and after 1:00 pm from IAH, so your family has time to disembark, clear customs, and get to the airport without rushing.

Can you pick us up at Terminal 28 after our cruise?

Yes. Pre-book your return ride and your chauffeur will be waiting at Terminal 28 when the Disney Magic docks, with your car seats already installed. They will text you once you clear customs.

How early should I book my Disney cruise transfer?

We recommend booking at least 24 to 48 hours in advance, and 1 to 2 weeks ahead for spring break, summer, and holiday sailings, when Sprinters and larger vehicles fill up first.
