Ahoy, Ryan!
Welcome aboard planDisney! Debarkation day may not be the part of the voyage that gives us that warm “just saw the ship for the first time” feeling, but planning ahead now means you can step off
the beautiful Disney Treasure with the confidence of Captain Amelia charting a flawless course.
The Express Walk-Off option is one of my favorite ways to wrap up a sailing, especially if you’re eager to begin the next leg of your adventure. The best part? There’s absolutely nothing to sign up for. This option is open to every Guest—no reservations, no forms, no Fairy Godmother intervention required. All you need to do is keep all your luggage with you in your stateroom on the final night. If it goes into the hallway, it won’t stay with you—it will be whisked away faster than Maui saying “You’re welcome” and
delivered to the cruise terminal for traditional luggage pickup.
If you decide you’d rather let Disney give your luggage a magical assist—maybe you collected a few too many
treasures from Mickey’s Mainsail—simply use the luggage tags your Stateroom Host or Hostess leaves in your room on the last full day. Place your bags outside your door by the time listed in the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, and they’ll reappear ashore waiting for you.
While timing is always subject to change, Express Walk-Off at Port Canaveral typically begins around 7:30 AM. If you’ve arranged
Disney ground transfers to a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, your Navigator app will list your expected transportation details near the end of your cruise. For airport-bound Guests, buses usually depart as they fill, but again—your Navigator app will be your trusty map, much like the one Jim Hawkins used to find Treasure Planet.
My crew and I have become big fans of Express Walk-Off now that our kids are older and can help wrangle our luggage. It lets us soak up every last moment onboard—from dinner to the evening show to whatever surprise fun appears in the app—without racing the clock to meet the luggage deadline. It’s a great way to spend your final night enjoying the magic instead of doing the Tetris game of suitcase packing.
I hope this helps you chart the smoothest course possible as you prepare for your Treasure adventure. May your debarkation morning be as effortless as a warm Caribbean breeze and your final night onboard filled with moments worth bottling like pixie dust.
Sea ya real soon with holiday cheer, calm seas, and magical winter memories,
Dustin
