Embarkation question

[MouseWatcher]

A large group of my family is taking a Disney cruise in a couple of months. My husband, kids and I have a 10:30 boarding time. My MIL has a later time but says that 'someone' () told her she can board with us since our reservations are linked. Does anyone know if that is true? It seemed sort of odd to me. We have done several Disney cruises but never with multiple families in multiple rooms . Thanks!!

sorry I cant answer but I have been wondering this as well. I believe it is one of those questions that if you ask it 10 times you will get 10 different answers

I would ask a CM upon your arrival if they could have you all board together. As you remember, your PAT is not your actual boarding time but the time that you are expected to arrive, unload baggage and go thru security to the terminal etc.... Then you will get your boarding number. With a PAT of 10:30 you should have a fairly low boarding number. As you are getting there first you can give the CM's a heads up that the other members of your party are arriving at intervals and request that you all board together. How much of a PAT are you looking at?
That is the only thing I can think that might work to everyone in your groups advantage. Since you have multiple cruises you will have the advantage of the early PAT.
I would imagine they would be able to get you all on board together though.

Yes, PAT - I mistyped . Thanks for the suggestion!

I don't know how many different answers you will get, but there's a Cruise forum where you could ask your question:
