Ahoy there, Ralph! Welcome back to planDisney. It's a pleasure to have you return with another question.
How exciting that you'll soon be setting sail aboard the Disney Fantasy. I'd be happy to help you. I reached out to Disney Cruise Line with this question, as I haven't experienced your proposed situation myself. I was advised that yes, you can arrive at separate times. I'm wishing you both smooth travel days and a magical meet-up on board!
On embarkation day, your stateroom will be ready to enter around 1:30 PM, so be sure that your carry-on luggage is comfortable to have with you till you can drop it off in your room. If you'd like to reference a
packing checklist as you prepare your luggage for your adventure, Disney Cruise Line has one on their website.
It's a great idea to make sure you have the latest version of the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app downloaded to your phone, so you might want to check that you've updated the app recently. As someone who has sailed before, you know just how valuable it is to have the Daily Activity Schedule at your fingertips to view all that's happening around the ship. Especially with the added fun of a
Pixar Day at Sea.
Have a fantastic sailing! Bon Voyage!
