Hi all!

My parents are taking my kids (12 and 8) on the Disney Dream Verandah deck for the 3 night cruise.

They're flying in the night before embarkation. I think they're going to stay in Cocoa Beach area. They don't want to rent a car as my dad does not like driving in strange areas.

So...

1- what transportation company do you recommend? I found one that will transport from MCO to Cocoa beach/Port Canaveral hotels for $78/4 people/each way?

2- do you book your transport before or after you have your embark/disembark times?

3- they will fly out around 2-3pm on disembark day. is that a reasonable flight time?

Anything else you think is important for me to research/figure out for them? I won't be going along and none of us have cruised in the 21st century. (i.e. our last cruise was Carnival 1990)
