Debarkation Day

[BcIcemen]

Going on the Wish and wondering about breakfast on debarkation day. Is it available? What is the latest time you have to be off the ship? What time does Disney last shuttle leave for MCO? TIA

Yes you can eat in the MDR depending on which diner seating you have or Marceline Market will be open with a much smaller selection than other mornings, it closes at 8:30 I think. We had first seating at 6:45 for the MDR. Not sure about the last bus.

Not positive about the last bus, but they will start making the you need to leave now signals and announcements around 9, 9:30 at the latest. They cannot even contemplate boarding the new guests who are just as eager to get on as you were until the ship is zeroed out, meaning everyone from the previous sailing is off.

By 9, you should be off the ship. They start calling you by name and hunting you down at around 9:15. The last bus for MCO departs when the last booked guest gets on it. It is expected to leave around 9, along with the resort busses.

By 8:30 am you kind of transition from "our special guest" to "trespasser". Whether circumstances allow Disney to get everyone off the ship by then, well, that varies.
We were on a packed NYE cruise on the Magic, and disembarkation started promptly at 7:30 am but was moving very very slowly for no apparent reason. We lined up at 830 am and it took until 9:15 am to step off the ship. Staff seemed to be a bit frantic walking through the atrium talking on their walkie talkies the entire time wondering why the line was moving sooooo slowly. . We ran into people we met on board at the airport, and they were among the last off the ship at 10:15 am. The last bus leaves when the last passenger gets on the bus.

They'll keep running DCL shuttles continuously to the airport until everyone who booked the shuttle is off the ship and has had a chance to take one. That's one of the benefits of taking a DCL shuttle. No worrying about having to catch it. It'll be there for you no matter when you disembark.

Everyone has the chance to have breakfast in the MDR on the last morning. If you have early dinner, your last morning breakfast will be around 6:45, and if you have late dinner, your last morning breakfast will be around 8:15 or so. On the Fab Four ships, if you don't like those times or don't want to do an MDR on your debarkation day, then Cabanas is also an option, but I don't know if there's a similar buffet option available the last morning on the Wish.

People are supposed to disembark by 9, but last month I cruised the Dream and their MDR service was slow (the whole cruise), and so I wasn't able to disembark until around 9:30. There was still a DCL transfer bus available for me, of course. No worries.

I don't think Marcelline Market was open for breakfast on our cruise, at least it wasn't listed in the app as open. I had hoped it might be because we had to have breakfast at 6:45 am and I am not a morning person. Since we were driving with friends, we also had no burning desire to get off early but we did want to eat. Perhaps they simply don't advertise Marcelline Market even if it's open just so that people don't linger.

They don’t, but if you ask they will tell you it’s hours. Just a warning, Unlike other days it will close exactly at stated time. Once we saw them shut it down as a family reached for a plate.

We got off the Wish on Friday. Marceline opened for breakfast at 6:30, and we opted for that, it’s much less of a zoo than the MDR breakfast usually is. We did express walk off with our luggage after we ate, and we were through customs by about 7:30, lines were moving right along.

We got off the Wish a couple weeks ago. We finished breakfast in Arendelle at around 8:50, used the restroom and waited in line to debark for about 10-15 minutes, only to be sent up to Guest Services to clear up a billing issue. Apparently when you put money from a gift card onto your account, it no longer automatically goes back onto the card, you have to manually go to Guest Services to swipe it. Sigh. Long line at Guest Services still, but we finished that up, no longer any line to get off the ship, all was clear and we boarded the bus to MCO around 9:45. We were probably some of the last people off the ship. The bus left about 15 minutes later. I think it was the last bus. We arrived at MCO around 11.
