Cruising on the Disney Dream on 6/16/12. Checked in late and were assigned 2:30 PM arrival at the terminal. I'm wondering if we can arrive earlier than scheduled to try to board early. Really want to experience as much of the ship as early as possible.

Question

Answer 1

Ahoy Reuben!
I know you are ready to board the spectacular Disney Dream so you can experience all this beautiful vessel has to offer. Disney Cruise Line does stagger port arrival times so the lines in the cruise terminal are manageable. Like you, I always want to get to the port as soon as possible so my vacation can get underway. With a 2:30 arrival time, you may be able to check-in early, but your boarding number will reflect your later arrival time. Your boarding number is given to you when you check-in at the port, and those Guests will earlier arrival times will board first. My suggestion is to arrive at the port around 12:45-1:00 PM so that boarding is already underway and you may not have to wait as long.
I hope this helps, Reuben! If you think of any other last minute questions, please let me know!
Have a magical day and bon voyage!
