When we went on the Western in September we took the Disney transfer bus from the Y&B Club. We didn't get to the port until after 1:00PM which was fine with us. We walked right on.
I booked the transfers at the old price before they went up, so I was locked in and because we were using Disney transfers, our luggage was picked up in our room and we didn't see it again until it appeared in our cabin.
