gi333 Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hi. I know that this question was probably asked a thousand times. We will be renting a car and was wondering if it's risky driving to Disney springs or the outlets? We will be at Port Canaveral from 1 to 9 pm. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time you get in the rental car it's at least 2pm. Possibly 230pm if they have little help working. I think I remember talking about this. You were looking for a weekday rental right? If so you deal with week day traffic each way. Not the same as early on a Sunday morning. You probably won't get to Disney Springs till 3/330pm. With possible traffic issues I wouldn't stay past 6pm. Me personally I don't think it's worth the trouble. But I would give myself a cut off of 6pm at the latest. Traffic and or an accident and bam, you have a problem. Probably would make my cut off 530pm to not worry. But that's me. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSC Mike Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Not worth it due to time constraints, IMO, but I live here so I may be biased. USFFrank and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 As @OCSC Mike and @CanHardlyWait stated there are too many unknown factors to make this worth it. If you are flying in for your cruise my suggestion would be to make this an after cruise destination. Stay an extra day or two before flying home and spend an entire day at Disney Springs. We plan to do that next September when we cruise with friends on Utopia…turning a 4night cruise into a 7 night vacation (1 night before the cruise and 2 nights after).

Rackham Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Sounds like you're cruising in from Cape Liberty? I'm also in the camp of it's not worth it unless there's a really compelling reason to go. There's too many possibilities of missing the ship and not that many options if something goes wrong for the amount of time you'd have there. michaelp1446 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi333 Posted August 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 That is what I thought. Thanks guys for your help. We are going to be driving around to shop Abit around the area and explore. Was wondering if Kennedy space center had anything that I can see by car for free. By driving around exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Of The Seas Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Nothing free at KSC and definitely no self tours by car. With a 1pm arrival time at Port Canaveral, you wouldn't have enough time to really experience the KSC Visitor Center, as they close at 5pm. A shame because there really is a lot of history you can view up close. Have to agree with others about Disney Springs area, the traffic will make you drink to excess............and that's before you reboard the ship.
