Welcome to planDisney, Linda! I know you're excited to share this vacation with your family.
When you complete Online Check-In, you will select a Port Arrival Time. You cannot arrive in the cruise terminal earlier than this time. Guests in the same stateroom do not need to be present at the same time in order to check-in, though.
There are some things to do in the
Cape Canaveral area while you wait for your family. If you do not have a rental car, you can go ahead and drop your luggage off with the porters once the cruise terminal opens. Make sure the luggage tags are already placed on your luggage before you hand the luggage over, though. You can then visit Kennedy Space Center and tour the Air Force Space and Missile Museum.
Linda, I hope this helps you plan for your upcoming cruise on the
Disney Wish. If you or your family have any other questions, sail back to
planDisney. We love helping Guests get ready for their magical vacation.
Adventure is out there!
