Hey there, hi there, Eleanor! Welcome, and thank you for your question.
Disney Cruise Line will allow you to choose a
Port Arrival Time when you do your online check-in for your October cruise. If you
log into your reservation, you'll see that your online check-in begins 30 days prior to sailing, so you won't know just yet when you can arrive at the port.
You'll definitely want to keep an eye on the
Know Before You Go section of the Disney Cruise Line website, Eleanor. This section is kept up to date with all of the latest information that you'll need on embarkation day, so if anything changes with regard to online check-in, port arrival, Covid-19 testing, mask requirements, etc., you'll be in the loop.
With just weeks to go, check out the great information Disney Cruise Line offers on
what to know before you leave home. I admit I have been standing at a port terminal at least once in my life without the proper documentation, so this information Disney provides is such a huge help to me. There's also a
pre-cruise checklist, and I am like Santa Claus, checking and rechecking that list.
I hope you have smooth sailing and a wonderful time on your upcoming trip, Eleanor!
