May Have to Cancel Cruise - What to Do Instead for 4 Nights.

As the title says really.

We are travelling to NY for 5 nights then flying to Orlando to do a Disney Cruise for 3 nights then into Disney for 11 nights.

As covid worsens it looks like cruise travel may not be possible. So I’m looking where we can go to to enjoy 4 nights beach holiday before heading to Disney.

Can anyone recommend any good hotels in say Clearwater? Nice sea front hotel with good food etc.

I’m just looking for the easiest beach resort where I can get an Uber to easily.

Open to ideas!

Thank you

Will you be able to get an Uber from MCO to the beach? I don’t know if a private transfer might be better. It’s quite a long drive and it may not be every Uber drivers choice (I may be completely wrong).

Flying into Tampa would be better. If that’s possible?
I think I’d suggest Clearwater Beach rather than Anna Maria or Sarasota, purely due to the fact that I’d want the closest option if not driving.

Otherwise, the east coast is a little closer still to MCO and perhaps you could combine it with a trip to KSC.

Just checked Google Maps to test my memory. It is the best part of two hours from MCO to Clearwater Beach.

Sarasota and Anna Maria are only ten mins or so longer than that.

There are East Coast beaches under an hour from MCO but I can’t help with those as we’ve only gone east for Port Canaveral or KSC.

Hi Karen

Thanks for looking into that. I will look into private transfer prices. I did a dummy Uber earlier and it was $125. I haven’t a clue if Uber goes that far!

Fingers crossed the cruise will still go ahead!
