What time do DCL buses from WDW arrive at port?

If you come from WDW on the DCL bus, what time do you get to the port? Should we make other arrangements if we want to check in on the early side?

We did this last year on the 4 land/3sea trip. We stayed at POR and they picked up at 12:15. I don't think they pick up much earlier than 11:30at the other hotels. We also stopped at one other hotel. I believe we got to the port around 1:30. The one nice thing about the package was that we did not have to check in at port, we walked straight in. If you want to go earlier, you'll have to arrange transportation outside of Disney, such as a car service or renting your own.

We're staying at BWV on our DVC points and then going on the 4-day, so we're not on a DCL package. So I don't think we get the advantage of not having to check in at the pier. That's an interesting question, though. I'll have to check to see if the two things can somehow be linked.
