We did Disneyland before the Mexican Riveria cruise in 2005 and then flew home; LAX is only 30 minutes from the port. The Disney buses are ready for you as soon as you find your luggage and go through customs at the port so 12:40 should work great unless you're flying international. Disney has bags sorted by groups at the port but put bright ribbons or something on your bag
so you can spot them quickly as you know the bags all look alike when the are put into a group.

Honestly, speaking in general, many cruise experts suggest staying over the day you disembark. Why on earth would you want to rush away to the airport after such a relaxing time?

When we had our Alaskan honeymoon cruise out of Vancouver, we went up the day before, and stayed an extra day at the end. It was SO much nicer than rushing away (especially b/c we love Vancouver soooo much more than we do the States, lol).

Specifically, I don't know what time your ship is scheduled to be back, but I'm not sure I could convince myself to take a flight before well into the late afternoon, if for some reason I simply had to get back home that very day.
