Disney Cruise Line Announces New Earlier All Aboard Time

Disney Cruise Line Sets New Earlier Boarding Time for Select Sailings

Disney Cruise Line has announced an important change to their boarding procedures for select sailings departing from Florida. Effective September 2nd, 2024, guests booked on the Disney Magic departing Fort Lauderdale and the Disney Wish departing Port Canaveral will have an earlier all aboard time.

Guests must be onboard the ship by 3:00 pm on embarkation day, instead of the previous time of 4:00 pm. Strict adherence to the new 3:00 pm deadline will be enforced. Guests arriving after this time will be denied boarding. Guests will still be required to choose a designated port arrival window during online check-in. It is recommended to arrive within this designated window to avoid any last-minute complications.

Disney will directly inform impacted guests:

Disney Cruise Line will be contacting all guests booked on affected sailings with official notification via SeaMail.
These emails will detail the new boarding time and reiterate the importance of arriving on time.

Planning your arrival:

Those with independent flights are encouraged to visit the Disney Cruise Line website (https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/) for recommended flight arrival times based on their departure port.
Careful planning to ensure arrival before the 3:00 pm deadline is crucial.

This change is being implemented for sailings departing on or after September 2nd, 2024. For any questions or concerns, guests are encouraged to contact Disney Cruise Line directly. Happy Sailing!
