Ahoy, Pranita! Welcome to planDisney, where we aim to answer all of your Disney Cruise Line questions to allow for smooth sailing during your vacation.
The
Disney Adventure uses the same Port Arrival Time process as the rest of the ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. When you complete your Online Check-In process, you will have the opportunity to select your sailing party’s specific Port Arrival Time from the available options. First-time guests can complete their Online Check-In up to 30 days prior to sailing beginning at midnight Eastern Standard time, but
Castaway Club members get earlier access based on their specific membership level. Additionally, concierge guests and parties who purchase
ground transportation directly from Disney Cruise Line will receive a preferred Port Arrival Time without having to make a selection.
When it is time for you to complete your Online Check-In process, gather all of your travel documents and the payment method you would like to use for onboard purchases, then login to your MyDisney account on the
Disney Cruise Line website. On the website, you can click on the tab at the top labeled “Already Booked” and select “Online Check-In” from the drop-down menu, which is the last option under the heading “My Disney Cruise.” After you enter all of your travel plans, documentation, and financial information, you will have the opportunity to select a Port Arrival Time from the list of available options. Since most guests want to start their cruise as soon as possible, the earliest Port Arrival Times go quickly. That is why I recommend completing your Online Check-In as soon as your window opens.
Be sure to check out the
Disney Adventure Pre-Arrival Guide to make sure that everything is in shipshape prior to sailing. And of course, if you have any other questions before embarkation day next month, then you are always welcome back here at planDisney. Happy sailing!
