Parking while on a cruise

THe family and I are going on a disney cruise this summer. We were thinking about taking the TT and having an extended vacation on the way down there and back. I am wondering, does anyone have any suggestions as to where to park the TT while we are on the cruise? I cannot find anything on the Port Canaveral Parking that it allows for TT to be parked there while on a cruise.

If you do this ask first as most RV parks don't allow you to leave RV's in campsites like this.

We have gone on extended mini-trips while on our usual 3-4 month RVing. Since we travel with a small freezer--we must have power. RV Parks are the only reliable alternative. So I disconnect the water line and store the water hose, turn AC to about 80, lock up the bikes, store my satellite antenna, and head off. Works great for us and I tell the park what I am doing. They have my cell # to call if they have questions.

Haven't been on a cruise but I have stayed at Jetty Park a few years in March. There are acres and acres of parking at Port Canaveral, never saw the lots even close to full. Mostly cars, but they certainly have room for RVs. Not sure of the rates, and there are advertisements from places farther away that claim to have lower prices who will shuttle you to the Port. May not work if you need to be plugged in, but a bit of Internet searching should give you some options.

We went on a Royal Caribbean out of Canaveral and left our motorhome on the campsite in Saint Augustine at North Beach Campground Price wasn't much of a difference from leaving the motorhome on campground site then parking it in their parking lot call the campground office we would be gone for four days and put the slide outs in and shut the water off we felt better leaving it in a campground and then in a parking lot and having to shut down the fridge and empty it have fun with your cruise good luck

Jetty Park C.G. at Cape Canaveral is next to the cruise ship docks. It is an OK c.g. and at night we could watch the Disney Cruise ships come/go. Maybe this park would work for you.

Thanks for all the advice. I followed up on the camprground idea and found one that will let me store it with them for a flat rate for the week.

Store or have a site with power?

This is what I would be thinking about. Even if you are gone a week it will be in a safe place. Just make sure to let the CG know what your plan is. So long as you are paying for a site they should not have an issue with it.

When we took a cruise out of Fort Lauderdale 5 years ago we found a Hotel that offered truck parking and left our 40 foot 5th wheel there.
I've been to all 50 States but my RV hasn't.

Many campgrounds have storage, but if it were me, I would get an rv site, set up and leave it on site, plugged in with A/C set at 80, frig on and go on the cruz. Come back and be all set up for a couple days before taking off. I would rather have my rv in a park than sitting "parked" somewhere. I think there would be less chance of theft and vandalism.

If you don't need power or refrigerator, and can shut it completely down, how about the airport in long term surface parking? Of course, you'd probably have to pay for more than one parking spot, or maybe they have parking spots for big rigs? Just a suggestion, you'll need to look into it.

You might want to call ahead to confirm.

Are you going to empty the frig and park it "dry" or do you need to store it with power to run the frig and A/C (set around 80 degrees)? You certainly don't want to come back from a cruise to find a moldy frig or other damage from the heat and humidity down there. You might look into nearby storage facilities.
