Creator's Key Takeaways

Most all ships sail full for Disney. Now, sometimes they are full from day one or very early because it's a popular time or itinerary.

If you want to avoid a crowd and avoid a bottleneck there, don't go when port at your port don't go for the the port arrival time.

If you are not in a hurry to get somewhere after muster after the muster drill, don't go anywhere. Just find somewhere to sit right around there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wait until around 12:30 PM to arrive at the terminal to avoid boarding day crowds.
Avoid the elevators immediately after the muster drill; use the stairs or wait for the crowd to clear.
Avoid the onboard shops on the first night of the cruise to bypass the heaviest lines.
For character meet and greets, try going later in the evening after the second dinner.
