2 Q's: What time does the Terminal Open? and What time do we have to be off the ship?

[Miss Kelly]

I've been on the Wonder before and you would think I would remember these things, but I don't.

What time does the Terminal open?

What time do we have to be off of the ship?

Thanks!!!

I'm pretty sure the terminal opens between 10 and 10:30am. For disembarking, you need to be out of your stateroom by 8am and off the ship by 9am.

We cruised twice on Disney and got there when the terminal opened both times. After doing that twice I decided it was better to get there AFTER the rush and not before you can get into your cabin which I believe is 1:30pm or 2:00 pm. They'll let you board around 12:00 noon but you have to wait an hour or two to get into your cabin and they are very strict about that now in spite of what you may read on these boards. It's a zoo and a madhouse and waiting in the lines is not worth it with kids and all the carry ons. Lugging around all the carry ons on the ship is also unpleasant and it feels like you're being herded like cattle. If you wait until 1:00 or after there will be no lines and you can go straight to your cabin and then get something to eat. The pools were not filled up yet so we couldn't let the kids swim either. Just FYI and food for thought. Bon Voyage!!

I have to disagree with that statement. We were allowed to board about Noon in November and after finishing lunch at Parrot Cay, we went up to the Mickey Pool and my kids definately were swimming. I believe they were in the pool no later than 12:45.

I've only cruise twice on Disney, but both times we were one of the first on board and went right by the pools. There were kids swimming by 12:30. Palo's and spa reservations both begin at noon time, so if you're particular about dates and times, you really do need to be here when they open.

FYI, Spa and Palo reservations on the Wonder were at 1:00 pm a couple of weeks ago.
