Hello, Julia! Thanks for dropping anchor at planDisney. We are happy to help you prepare for your Disney Cruise!
With a Port Arrival Time already selected, that means your adventure at sea is quickly approaching. You are in the home stretch now and clearly finalizing your travel plans. I'm so glad you asked your question because there is not an indoor waiting space for guests who arrive before their Port Arrival Time. I recommend that you tailor your plans to arrive as close to 12:15 p.m. as possible. If you arrive before your Port Arrival Time you will have to wait outside of the terminal until it is your time to enter.
I sailed out of the
Port of Miami last year and loved the views of the city and surrounding areas as our ship sailed away. I highly recommend that you head to the upper decks to enjoy the experience as your vacation gets underway. Those moments from my cruise are memories that I hold dear!
If you haven't done so already, please be sure to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app. You'll need the app to keep abreast of the daily activity schedule throughout your voyage. If you would like a
packing checklist, Disney Cruise Line provides one on their website for your reference.
It's about time to zip up those bags and set sail on your Disney Cruise! Please return to planDisney if you ever have more questions. We are always happy to help.
Bon Voyage!
Adrianna
