Welcome aboard planDisney, Tegan! I'm thrilled you are planning to set sail with Disney Cruise Line, and it's wonderful to have you drop by with your questions. I'd be happy to help.
When it comes to embarkation day, yes, you are able to drop off your luggage with the porters before your Port Arrival Time. You are asked not to enter the cruise terminal until your Port Arrival Time to keep the well-orchestrated check-in process smooth sailing for everyone. Just be quite sure that you keep your
travel documentation with you in your carry-on luggage, as you will need to present your documents as you prepare to board the ship.
How lovely that you'll be celebrating a birthday during your sailing! Happy early birthday to you from me. As it turns out, you cannot view your dining rotation before the day of your sailing. However, you are welcome to
call Disney Cruise Line and request a specific rotation. They may not be able to accommodate your request, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I'm wishing you a magical birthday, filled with happiness. May you make grand memories and have a wonderful year ahead!
Bon Voyage,
Adrianna
