    As a Platinum member, when can we do online check-in and book port arrival times? Thanks!

    Ahoy, Delaney, and welcome to planDisney! 

    It looks like we have something in common: We both love sailing with Disney Cruise Line! I don’t blame you for wanting to pick your Port Arrival Time as soon as possible. It’s a great perk for Castaway Club Members! 

    As an honored Platinum Castaway Club Member, you can select your Port Arrival Time and complete online check-in at the stroke of midnight on February 4 (38 days before sailing). It looks like your window opened on November 14 to pre-book activities. Don’t forget to take advantage of my favorite Platinum benefit complimentary dinner at Palo. My go-to entrée for brunch is the mouthwatering parmesan-crusted chicken breast served with creamy risotto. It’s delicious! You can find all the important booking dates on your reservation page under “Cruise Activities” and “Online Check-In.” 

    Delaney, I just sailed from Disney’s newest cruise terminal, Port Everglades, and have a few suggestions if you’re driving to the port. Before you’re allowed to enter the port area, you’ll have to show your cruise confirmation and a photo ID to the port authorities. The Disney Dream sails from terminal four. Parking is a bit different from Port Canaveral. You’ll receive a parking ticket when you enter the parking garage. Keep this ticket handy because you’ll need it twice – to pay for parking at one of the convenient payment kiosks and to leave the terminal. 
     
    I hope you have the most magical time at sea! Please stop by again with any additional questions. We are always happy to lend a helping hand. 

    SEAS the adventure!

Meet the Panelist: Tracie, Florida

Ahoy! Just like Moana, I feel the irresistible call of the sea. I think the best vacation is aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship – thankfully, my family agrees. Whether savoring gelato in Italy, snorkeling in Mexico, or basking in the sea breeze on deck, each destination fills us with memories to last a lifetime. I look forward to helping your family plan a Disney Cruise Line adventure brimming with cherished moments!
