PAT for DCL transfers later?

Just checked in and I’m taking DCL transfer from WDW. Was assigned a PAT of 12:00-12:15. I know it doesn’t matter for us. But surprised it was later. Have they changed the bus times?
 
FWIW, PAT isn't enforced, only boarding group number.
I get that for the transfers. It was just strange to get a noon PAT when in the past it was earlier. Plus all the transfers in my Facebook group are getting different PAT. I didn’t know if this ment the busses were picking up later (like pre covid).
 
Is it possible your particular cruise is expected to have a later boarding than usual? Maybe DCL is already aware of an inspection or something.

It is princess race weekend so maybe they are accounting for that? Although it’s the Saturday and the closers are less. Some transfers got a 10:30 or 11 pat.
 
5 is still an early group. You won't wait long, the very first groups account for huge amounts of Pearl/Concierge guests that don't always show.
I agree 5 is great! I’m not concerned or complaining about BG or PAT. I’m just curious about when I’m leaving the resort and if it will be later then last time. It’s vacation and I’ll make the most of it regardless. I choose the DCL transfers for convenience and less stress!
 
We got 11:45 when we checked in, BG 6. We got to the port at about 11:30 and our group was called about noon.

Which resort are you at?

Departure times from the resort are all dependent on how many people have booked transfers at which resort and if they have to stop at another resort.
