Disney Wonder-best time to check in

[pennez]

We are on the Wonder this October out of the LA area. What is the best time to check in to avoid what I imagine is a mad house? Many thanks:)

[Big L.E.E.]

If LA is like Florida, and you don't need to do any last minute things like make Palo or spa reservations, you might want to wait until later in the afternoon. Lot's of folks show up early ~10:30, and boarding begins between 12-12:30. So, the terminal can be quite crowded around noon. After 1:00pm or so, the crowd drops off, and some folks report just being able to walk on-board after check-in.

 

However, if you were unable to make the reservations you wanted online (Palo holds reservations aside), I'd say get there early, and deal with crowds.
