    I would like to know what time we're allowed to board the ship once we're at the port?

    Ahoy Ann, and welcome to planDisney!  

    Once you have completed Online Check-in before your cruise, you will be given a Port Arrival Time.  You cannot arrive at the cruise terminal earlier than that time.  Disney Cruise Line wants to ensure all Guests have a smooth embarkation process, so arriving at your designated Port Arrival Time helps with that experience.  I usually drive to the port, so I arrive a little ahead of my time to drop off my luggage with the porters and then park in the parking deck.  If I'm still early, I wait in the car until my designated time.  If you do not complete Online Check-in in advance, you should plan to arrive at the cruise terminal after 2:00 PM.  

    While you are waiting for your Online Check-in time, check out this packing list to help you plan for your upcoming cruise.  Make sure your travel documentation, medication, sunscreen, and other essentials are in your carry-on bag, not your checked luggage.  

    If you have any other questions, sail back to planDisney, and we will be happy to help.

    Adventure is out there!
