Disney Cruise Line transportation pickup time?

[ccianci85]

We are going on the Wish in August and have a stay at the Riviera Resort for a few days before hand.
What time does Disney Cruise transportation pick you up at your resort? Our arrive time is not until 12:30 and we have a character breakfast at Topolino's @ 8:00am that morning.
I am leaning towards canceling the Disney Cruise bus and getting my own transportation because I have heard of pickup times around 8:30 or so.

I've seen everything from 9 am to noon. I would recommend not scheduling a breakfast reservation that day, or getting your own ride to the port.

I agree. The pick-up used to be later. You would likely miss Topolino's.

We just did this from Riviera back in November. We had to meet downstairs at 8:45ish and pulled out at 9:15 or so. You'll need to cancel your Topolino's reservation or move it to a different day.

As others have said, the DCL bus will pick you up early from your hotel. For additional recent reports, read the DCL forum here, https://www.disboards.com/forums/disney-cruise-line-forum.9/, and post your question there.
