I am flying into MCO a day early and staying at a hotel on Merritt Island. Some prefer to stay near the airport (most hotels include port shuttle) or near the Port (more expensive hotels) or in Cocoa Beach (which is a 45 min drive and about 25$-30$ per person for shuttle). I chose Merritt Island because it is in the middle and near a Walmart where I can grab all my last minute items include my wine. Not many shuttles will drop off to Merritt Island, so after hours of research, I have decided to Lyft (free ride for new users), and my hotel offers a $10 shuttle to port (less than 15 minute drive). To answer your question, it really depends on which hotel you chose and if they offer airport pickup/port drop off. Goportcanaveral has a huge list of sleep, cruise and fly hotels which include transfers. 

I am looking at staying there also.  Curious what hotel you decided on.

For me, Faster to the Fun is worth it.  You are one of the first on the ship. Can drop off your bags, do a little unpacking.  Then go get food.  Because everything is so crowded we bring our food back down to our room so we don't have to worry about dealing with the chaotic crowds.  Much nicer to be able to relax and non sit there for hours in massive crowds of people with luggage.

Just curious,if we have FTTF and our check in time is 1230, how early can we arrive?

My DH, my DD20, my DS17 and I are going!
