Were going to stay at the Hyatt the night before our cruise also. Our plane arrives at 2:30 in the afternoon. Any suggestions on how to pass the time till the next morning. And what did you think of the hotel?
Our first cruise (years ago) we hopped on the 9:30AM bus. I am told they are more like 10AM now. We arrived VERY early, and were thrilled to among the first to board the bus.
It is always between 9:30 and 10....usually closer to 9:30. Your boarding pass for the bus will be marked to indicate that you checked in as one of the first people so that you will be on the first bus.
We were there about 8:45 and the host told us about the marking and that it indicated we would be on the first bus....so we could relax in the general area, etc. and would be called when it was time to board. DD wanted to be the first one on the bus (why???) and insisted that we stand in line. The following buses leave as soon as they are filled.

How did you do the luggage??? Did you put it out the night before or that morning??? I'm going with a large group and some of them are afraid to leave it out the night before...
You are assigned a character to designate which bus you'll be on.
I believe the first bus is Mickey and then they go from there (Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Donald, etc. - I don't know how they arrange the remaining character order, but it's first-come, first-served.)
The sooner you sign in on cruise morning, the earlier the bus you'll go on. (You aren't able to get on the list before that morning.)
The first buses seemed to be filled with guests staying at the Hyatt. After that, they take you over to the baggage claim area to board there.
The Hyatt is quite nice; you can eat there in the hotel, or go to one of the restaurants in the airport.
It can't be beat for convenience!
