Welcome to planDisney, Roger! Thank you for sailing by with your question.
Once you complete Online Check-In, you will be able to choose your Port Arrival Time. This is the time that you can arrive at the cruise terminal. Once you arrive at the terminal and complete the onsite check-in process, you will be given your boarding group number and time. It is not something that you will know in advance. The time you are able to board the ship depends on how quickly Guests are embarking. On some embarkation days, my boarding group was called as soon as I walked into the waiting area. On other embarkation days, I got to sit and people-watch for a little bit. Don't worry, though! The magic of Disney Cruise Line will be waiting for you!
If you have to wait, you can make sure that your
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app is updated so you can connect to the
DCL-GUEST wireless network once you are onboard. Then you will be able to see all of the
onboard activities and your
rotational dining schedule.
Roger, I hope that helps you get ready for a Disney vacation full of wonder. If you have any other questions, sail back to
planDisney.
Adventure is out there!
