Slept in

[4 mickey]

Omg slept in last night
Just did my online check in

Have a few questions
Is it normal it days pending
And I am taking dcl bus to port
They gave me a 1130 port arrival time and boarding 13

Will I have to wait at airport a long time before heading to port ? Will they make us wait before boarding the bus ?
Cause with the test to be done once we get there geez what time will I be able to go onboard

I could hit myself for falling asleep and doing this only this morning it had to be the week where I did so much overtime at work and was super tired
Got to say I am not. That thrill to maybe get onboard once test is fine and all maybe what ? 1220-1 pm at best ?

Give me your recent experiences on that
With similar arrival port time
Thanks

Don’t fret too much! If you are taking Disney transportation, the port arrival time is less important as you’ll be able to arrive on any bus. We did this a couple weeks ago. We went to the loading area on the 1st level of terminal B about 8:15. Disney folks started showing up about 8:30, bus loading started around 9:00, and first bus left about 9:20. I had 11:00 for PAT but was on the first bus-so arrived a little after 10:00.

As for your boarding number of 13, that’s not too bad. There are like 40 boarding numbers, so you’re still fairly early. I’d say it’d be less than 30 min from when boarding starts.

No worries.

What about the part where it says pending on my online check in
Do you know what’s up with that ? And why

They are doing the rapid antigens test so instead of the 30-40 mins it’s been taking it’s been like 10 mins so that will save you time too!!

Everyone's will say pending while DCL verifies the passport information. We have had ours processed around 7-10 days before sailing. DCL will send you an email when it is completed, nothing to worry about.

Mine said pending until three days prior. A

We just sailed March 26 and did DCL transport from the airport also. I was also concerned about getting a later PAT. I called and was told the PAT doesn't matter when you use DCL transport. Sure enough, no one even asked about it when checking in at MCO or at the port.

Thank you for the timing on the DCL bus from MCO. I knew that used to be the time but did not know if that was still accurate.

For some reason, I thought if you were on DCL transportation you didn't get a PAT or Group though?

The lady / cast member on the phone who helped me fix a problem I had while i check in
said
to respect the hours you are given
even with dcl buses if your meant to arrive at 1130 to hop on a bus ( even at mco ) before 1030 otherwise tgey might get you to wait outside the terminal
it’s to control test control ( not to be overcrowded while you test and wait for results
and yes you have boarding numbers attribuate

That used to be the case, but everyone picks a PAT now.

Weird. Seems a VERY recent change as people just weeks ago reported not selecting one if they had DCL transportation.

 

[goofystitch]

When you do online check in and you have DCL transportation, your PAT is chosen by DCL.
