POM parking at terminal - need reservation?

[wattage]

We're sailing out of Miami on DCL next April. Thinking about parking at the Port of Miami (POM) terminal as we are going to WDW after our cruise. Do you need a reservation to park at one of the POM parking decks? What is the earliest a castaway club member can board the ship?

No reservations needed or accepted. Keep in mind it is about a 4 hour drive from POM to WDW resorts. Depending on what day you sail and come back traffic can be sort of intense thru the downtown Miami area but once you get on the turnpike it moves pretty well. Safe travels!

p.s.

Miami is loaded with toll roads and in Dade County toll roads have NO PROVISION for paying tolls with cash it is all electronic tolling.

If in your own car the system will bill you via 'toll by plate'

If in a rental what happens and what it may cost you varies widely by rental company

see https://www.sunpass.com/en/tolls/rentalVehicles.shtml

an option is to buy a SUNPASS ..... (same site)

You have gotten parking advice, so I will just answer the other question. Have sailed out of Miami 3 times, the doors opened about 11 for check-in and boarding began about noon.
