Hello Julie! It's a pleasure to have you back with us at planDisney!
A cruise is a possibility in your near future! How exciting! It's also very exciting that your son is touring colleges. It sounds like you have big things happening in your family and a chance to get away on a Disney Cruise and soak up some extra memories together is a great plan. And with entertainment options for
kids,
tweens, teens, and
adults ... everyone in your sailing crew will have something to look forward to!
I definitely understand why you are wondering what time you can board the ship so that you can make the most of being nearby the college your son is interested in touring. I reached out to someone that scheduled their own
port arrival time recently during their online check-in, and the latest time that they were able to select was 1:45 p.m. Keep in mind that port arrival times are subject to availability, and I cannot guarantee a specific time will be available when you complete your online check-in. I would highly recommend that you give yourself plenty of time, with a little cushion thrown in to be safe, to get to the port and begin the embarkation process.
I hope that this helps you, Julie, as you chart a course for upcoming adventures. If a cruise with Captain Mickey is on the horizon and you have any further questions for us, please sail back to planDisney and ask.
Happy planning!
Adrianna
