    My friends and I are going to be dropped off by another friend for our Disney cruise. What would this look like logistically? Would we still need to pay for parking if we are being dropped off?

    Hi Evie and welcome to planDisney! You will be enjoying your Disney Cruise before you know it! Thanks for sending us your planning question 

    When you arrive at the port for your cruise, just look for the signs for the guest drop off area. You will not have to pay for parking if you are dropped off, so please don't worry!

    When it comes to debarkation, your dining team will provide you with all the information you need about your breakfast on debarkation day the night before. All Guests must be out of their staterooms by 8:00 a.m. If you take you have plans to walk with your luggage, you may choose the Express Walk-off option. All guests are off the ship by 9:15 a.m. You can always coordinate with a friend to pick you up after your trip as well.

    Evie, I hope this information is helpful to you as you put those finishing touches on your trip. Please feel free to come back to see us if you have any more questions. It's always our pleasure to help you with all the details of your next sailing!
