Deb
Wills shares some photos she recently took while
wandering around Port Canaveral
|
|
|
|
As
you approach the Port Canaveral area, you can catch a couple
glimpses of the Disney Wonder (or Magic). Seeing the red smoke
stacks always makes me smile and adds to the excitement!
|
|
|
|
|
It's
a beautiful terminal, clean and pristine! There is a drop off
area where you can unload your luggage and the porters are right
there to take care of you (remember to tip for good service).
Get your photo ID out at this point so you can go through the
first check point. A Cast Member will check your ID with the
cruise passenger list.
|
|
|
|
|
The
area entering the building itself is a photo free zone due to
security. Just think airport security. Once through the metal
detectors, go up the escalator and after you step off, look
down for an image of the castle.
|
|
|
|
|
Depending
on the time of day you get to the terminal, it will be empty
to crowded! Usually late mornings are low crowds.
|
|
|
|
|
Prior
to getting in the check in line, Cast Members will make sure
all your documents are properly filled out. Then, just get in
the appropriate line.
|
|
|
|
|
When
you check in, you'll receive a boarding pass (Disney boards
by group number). Group 1 is those needing special assistance
and concierge cruisers. Then regular boarding begins with group
2. This eliminates standing in line and allows you to wait on
the couches.
|
|
|
|
|
There
is a huge model of the ship to explore. There is usually a character
or two to help pass the time too!
|
|
|
|
|
To
the left of the Mickey Ears entrance, concierge guests have
a separate waiting area, with couches and small tables with
limited kids activities.
|
|
|
|
|
To
the right of the Mickey Ears entrance is the Youth Activities
Registration Area. If you haven't pre-registered your children,
do that here. You can also pick up the Navigators which list
all the kids/teen activities for your cruise. The Registration
area is adjacent to the coffee/snack shop.
|
|
|
|
|
Soon,
it's time to board! Be sure to have your IDs ready and enter
through the Mickey Ears! Ship boarding begins anywhere from
noon to 1:00pm. Your adventure is about to begin!
