7-Day Disney and Beach RV Itinerary

The simplest Disney and beach RV itinerary for a week is four days based at a campground near Walt Disney World, one move east on SR 528 (the Beachline) on day 5, and three Atlantic beach days based at Jetty Park Campground in Port Canaveral. The RV relocates once, nobody repacks, and the beach days cover Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Canaveral National Seashore and Cocoa Beach.

This plan is for a family that wants Disney and the ocean without living out of suitcases. The only real choice is how the RV makes its one move: you drive a motorhome there yourself, or your trailer stays put for each leg and someone else handles the towing.

Total RV driving: one relocation of about 45 miles or more. Visit Space Coast puts the Space Coast about 45 miles from Orlando, and Port Canaveral says Orlando International Airport is approximately 45 minutes west of the port by SR 528. Starting from Kissimmee adds distance, so check your route before moving day.

Days 1 to 4: where should the RV sit for the Disney days?

Pick one campground close to the parks and do not move the RV until day 5. We use the Orlando / Kissimmee KOA Holiday in this plan because its own site lists full hook-up 50/30 amp pull-through RV sites, a 134 ft maximum length and a location "less than 25 minutes from Walt Disney World Resort." If you would rather stay inside Disney, Fort Wilderness has its own rules on who may bring in a rental RV, so read those before you book.

Day 1: Arrive and set up in Kissimmee

Days 2 and 3: Full park days

Day 4: Lighter park day and pre-pack

Day 5: how do you get from Disney to the Atlantic coast?

Take SR 528, the Beachline, east to Port Canaveral. The Central Florida Expressway Authority describes SR 528 as the road connecting Orlando to Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center and the east coast beaches, and Port Canaveral labels it a toll road, so budget for tolls.

Jetty Park books up. Port Canaveral calls it "extremely popular and booked many months in advance" and suggests reserving a year ahead or booking during the slower July to September months. Site photos and site details are on its booking page, so confirm your RV's length and hookups there before you pay.

Day 6: can you take an RV to Kennedy Space Center?

Yes. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex charges $20 to park oversized vehicles, motor homes or RVs, compared with $15 for cars, and the fee is collected before you enter the parking plaza. The visitor complex lists hours of 9 AM to 5 PM and a free, air-conditioned on-site pet kennel.

Day 7: which beach should you choose for the last day?

Pick Canaveral National Seashore for wild beach, or Cocoa Beach for easy parking and shops.

Delivered trailer or motorhome: which version fits your family?

A delivered trailer is easier if nobody wants to tow; a motorhome is easier on the schedule.

Both deliveries are priced by destination, and many rentals bill miles apart from the nightly rate, so ask for a quote that covers both campgrounds.

Which of our RVs suit a Disney and beach week?

For a family that wants space and kids' bunks, the trailers win. For a family that wants to drive the move themselves, look at our motorhome rentals in Orlando.

Every rental comes stocked with essentials including dishes and linens, plus 24/7 roadside assistance. Availability and pricing vary by RV, season and trip length.

Frequently asked questions about a Disney and beach RV week

What time is RV check-in at Jetty Park Campground?

Port Canaveral says RV and tent check-in is strictly enforced at 2:00 PM, and you cannot go to your site before then, though you can use the beach and day park if you do not have a pet.

How far ahead should I book Jetty Park?

Port Canaveral suggests reserving a year in advance or booking during the slower months of July to September.

Can you camp in an RV at Canaveral National Seashore?

The NPS lists limited RV parking at Apollo Beach and Playalinda Beach, but the only camping it describes is backcountry island sites reserved on Recreation.gov, so plan it as a day trip.

Is there RV parking at Cocoa Beach?

Yes. The City of Cocoa Beach lists Alan Shepard Park, Sidney Fisher Park and Lori Wilson Park as having parking for recreational vehicles.

Can I see a rocket launch on this trip?

Possibly. Launch dates change often, so check the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex events calendar close to your trip, and remember Playalinda Beach Road closes about 30 minutes before a launch.

Is SR 528 a toll road?

Yes. Port Canaveral's directions label SR 528 as a toll road, so plan for tolls on the drive to the coast and back.
