A big part of their appeal and success is the fact they can get people from Disney World to their ships in little more than 45 minutes in a fairly seamless and well-drilled manner. If they started using Miami (ugh! what an awful port!) or even Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale - better organisation but still a very functional port), they would be looking at 3-4-hour coach transfers, which would not be very appealing for WDW guests. My thinking is this story is a red herring so Disney can use some bargaining leverage in getting an advantageous new deal with Port Canaveral.
