[MichellelovesMickey]

I know, I know, this is my 3rd Disney Cruise

But, what time should we leave POR at the World and head over to Port? This is my Mom's and my DD's (16) 1st Cruise and I want to get there, Drop baggage off to porters, get parked in the parking garage (shade ) , we have 2 cars... 5 of us... lol...hopefully 3rd floor (Is that right?? for the ramp to terminal?, Get in line and get inside.

Also, I know I should know this, but what time does boarding start?? 12:00?? I really hope to get Pixie Dust and get Boarding Group 3 again...have had that the last 2 cruises..... Just want to get on ship, eat at Cabanas and head to AquaDuck!!!!

It's about an hour's drive from WDW to P C, so around 10:00 am is good.

We usually leave around 9:00-9:15, (always paranoid about traffic problems or flat tires). We try to get there around 10:30 drop off luggage, park the car near the ramp (believe it's the 2nd floor) walk across the ramp & into the terminal, check in & wait to board. Our last couple of cruises the terminal opened somewhere between 10:45 & 11:00. Have a good cruise..

Thanks....I have already checked in online. I just for the life of me could not remember what time we got on the ship...LOL

We have a PAT of 11-11:30, so we figured leave POR around 9:15-9:30 and head over to Port, Park and wait......getting so excited!!
