01 · TERMINAL
Cruise Terminal 28 (Disney, Carnival & Regent)
2702 Harborside Drive, Galveston, TX 77550
Drop-off: Terminal 28 is directly across from Terminal 25 in the downtown port area. The port describes Terminal 28 as primarily Disney Cruise Line's, but Disney does not have it to itself — the port also lists Carnival sailings and Regent's Seven Seas Splendor here, so go by the terminal on your own booking. Drop luggage curbside, then proceed to parking.
PARKING
Same options as Terminal 25: Express Lot (walking distance), Lots A & B (free shuttle), or SMP Garage (covered, at a rate the port quotes when you book rather than publishing). Reserve online at portofgalveston.com. Free shuttle runs between lots and both terminals.
02 · BOARD
Boarding: Disney Cruise Line online check-in typically opens 30 days before sailing for first-time guests, and earlier for Castaway Club members depending on tier. Your Port Arrival Time is chosen during online check-in, and Disney typically asks guests to arrive within that window.
- □ Keep your ID, boarding documents, and medication in your carry-on Checked bags may not reach your cabin until later in the day.
- □ Use the arrival time printed in your boarding documents Your cruise line's current documents are the source of truth for check-in.
- □ Keep one small day bag with anything you need before your cabin is ready You may board before cabins and checked luggage are available.
