Hey, Stacy! Welcome to planDisney—we’re here to make planning your cruise as stress-free as possible!
Yippie! You’ve reached the end of your vacation countdown, and I’m thrilled for you to experience
New Year’s Eve at sea. Get ready for a night filled with unforgettable moments to ring in 2025. It’s a magical celebration with live entertainment, themed treats, and plenty of fun for everyone!
Your Port Arrival Time is when you should arrive at the terminal to complete the check-in process. These times are staggered to help minimize crowds, so guests who arrive early will be asked to return at their designated time. If things are running smoothly, you may be able to check in a little bit earlier, but it’s not guaranteed, and there isn't a waiting area outside the terminal.
One option is to request a later check-out time from your hotel. Depending on where you're staying, you can also have bell services hold your luggage while you explore the city before heading to the port. If you have a car and are sailing from
Port Canaveral, the Kennedy Space Center opens at 9:00 a.m. If you're staying in
Fort Lauderdale, check out the LauderGo! MicroMover—it’s a free shuttle that covers many popular Fort Lauderdale destinations.
For a smooth embarkation, make sure you have your Port Arrival Form printed or downloaded to your phone. It will be scanned before you enter the terminal. Once inside, everyone’s citizenship documents will be checked, and you’ll pass through security before entering the seating area. The good news about having a later Port Arrival Time is that you’ll likely get to walk right onto the ship! There’s nothing more exciting than starting your vacation, but I promise, Stacy, that the magic will be waiting for you when it’s your turn to board.
SEAS the adventure!
