When can you book port arrival time Disney?

You will be able to schedule your Port Arrival Time during your online check-in once your advance booking window opens, which is 75 days prior to setting sail if this is your inaugural voyage with Captain Mickey! You'll find arrival timeframes for you to choose from during the online check-in process.



For a Disney Cruise in 2026, your "Port Arrival Time" is selected during the Online Check-In process, which opens in staggered windows based on your "Castaway Club" loyalty tier. Pearl Members can check in 40 days prior to sailing; Platinum Members at 38 days; Gold Members at 35 days; Silver Members at 33 days; and First-Time Cruisers at 30 days. The window opens at midnight Eastern Time on your designated date. It is critical to log in exactly at midnight because the earliest Port Arrival Times (which allow you to board the ship first) disappear within minutes. If you are using Disney Cruise Line ground transportation from a resort or airport, your port arrival time is technically assigned for you, but you still must complete the check-in to receive your boarding group. In 2026, having an early Port Arrival Time is highly coveted as it allows you to enjoy the ship’s pools and lunch buffets for several hours before those with later times are permitted to board.

Crowded Pools The pools on the Disney cruise ships can get crowded. If you visit the pools during non-peak hours, it will help with the crowd levels. We like to use the pools in the morning or on port days. That being said, we don't really have an issue with the crowded pools.
