We had the same PAT and made it into Boarding Group 2. By this time I stopped looking at my watch, so I am not sure when we got on board. My daughter and I went to the Duck boarding area. It was not open yet and there were a couple kids that were on the second leg of their B2B. They said it would be a few min. It was about 10 min and we were on our way.
We, too, had a 10:30 PAT at Port Canaveral about a year and a half ago. They started boarding around 11:30. We were in Group 2. We were on board around 11:45 and I believe they opened it at noon. We just hung around until they opened the rope and were some of the first people in line.
