Greetings, Matt!
Your holiday is right around the corner, and I'm thrilled you dropped by planDisney to chat about your Port Arrival Time. This specific time signals when your crew should make their grand entrance at the terminal. While the excitement of diving into vacation mode as soon as possible is tempting, resist the urge to arrive early. If you arrive ahead of schedule, you'll be asked to wait for your designated time before entering the cruise terminal.
You were asked to choose a Port Arrival Time when you completed online check-in. If you missed this step, head over to the
Disney Cruise Line website and go to "Online Check-In." Click the blue text to return to your check-in information, and you'll spot the Port Arrival Form in the second-to-last section. You can choose to print it out or save it to your phone for easy access.
On the morning of debarkation, guests must be out of their staterooms by 8:00 a.m. But don’t worry, Captain Minnie sends you off with a “See Ya Real Soon” breakfast. If you have Main Dining, your breakfast will be between 6:30 and 7:15 a.m., while Second Dining is from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m. Breakfast is served in the same restaurant and at the same table where you dined the previous evening. Your servers will tell you when and where to report during your final dinner.
After breakfast, you will be called by group, based on your character luggage tags, to disembark the ship. Your stateroom host will leave these in your stateroom on the last night. Once called, you'll scan your Key to the World Card one last time before waving goodbye to Captain Mickey. They try to have everyone off the ship between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. so they can prepare for the next group.
I bet you can't wait to step aboard the Disney Dream and start exploring! You’ll find helpful deck plans and the daily activity schedule on the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. The app is also where you’ll receive shipboard announcements and information about your Disney Port Adventures. It's a one-stop shop for all your cruise needs.
I hope you are feeling shipshape and ready to sail, Matt! Have fun
packing those suitcases! See us again when you’re ready to plan your next Disney Cruise.
SEAS the adventure!
