At Port Canaveral, is PAT the earliest time they will let you in to park or the earliest time you can walk into the terminal? I’m trying to find out if you can park before your PAT.

Question

Answer 1

Avast ye Matey! Welcome to planDisney, where you will find a group of Disney-loving scallywags dedicated to answering your vacation questions. Thanks for stopping by with your question about Port Arrival Times for your embarkation day with Disney Cruise Line. It is my pleasure to help you navigate embarkation day for your Disney cruise!

You will receive your Port Arrival Time when you complete the online check-in process, which opens 30 days before you set sail (or earlier, depending on your Castaway Club status). The Port Arrival Time is the time you are scheduled to enter the cruise terminal. There will be lines for you to queue with your designated Port Arrival Time listed. You can arrive before your Port Arrival Time to allow time to drop off your luggage, park your vehicle, and make your way to the queue for your Port Arrival Time. I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your Port Arrival Time. To ensure you are prepared for your upcoming sailing, check out the Be in the Know Before You Go page.

I wish you smooth seas and a magical sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line, Jacqueline! If we can answer more of your questions, please return here to planDisney. We are happy to set sail in search of answers for you!

Happy Sailing!
