Parking
Park in the CT-8 parking area ($20/day plus tax, covering the day of arrival and the day of departure). Parking is cashless — major credit cards only — and paid on arrival; no reservations are accepted. Disney Cast Members will direct you to available spaces, and the walk to the terminal is short.
Passenger drop-off
CT-8 is Disney's dedicated terminal — you'll know you're in the right place when the building starts looking magical. It's on Charles Rowland Dr on the north side of the port, in the group Port Canaveral signs as the A Terminals, so take SR-528 Exit 54A rather than 54B and follow the port signs to Terminal 8. The drop-off area is well-organized with Disney Cast Members directing traffic. Porters will take your checked luggage and tag it with your stateroom number. Tip $2-3 per bag.

Before you arrive
Arrive during the check-in window in your cruise-line documents.
- Download the My Disney Cruise Line app and complete online check-in before you arrive — this is mandatory and saves enormous time
- If you have MagicBand+ wristbands, wear them. They work as your room key, charge card, and ID on the ship
- Disney's check-in process is more theatrical than other lines — Cast Members make it part of the experience. Enjoy it, but budget an extra 15 minutes
- Kids get welcome gifts during check-in — they'll be handed activity bags and sometimes character cards. It's a nice touch
- Your port arrival time is in the app — Disney is strict about arrival windows. Showing up early means waiting outside.
Last-minute supplies
The Disney terminal has a small shop with branded souvenirs and basic travel items (sunscreen, Advil, phone chargers) — prices are Disney-level. For anything substantial, hit the Publix on Astronaut Blvd (about 8 min) before heading to the terminal. Guests who meet Disney's age requirement may bring a limited amount of unopened wine, sparkling wine, or beer at the start of the voyage. It must be packed in carry-on luggage; check Disney's current policy before departure.
