Debarkation Timeline Questions - Port Canaveral

[alaska2023]

We're heading from Port Canaveral (Harmony) to a Disney resort after we disembark, and we plan to take an Uber. It seems to be the easiest option, since we're going to Disney and not MCO.

 

1 - If we roll our own luggage off the ship instead of leaving it in the hallway the last night of the cruise, what's the timeframe during which we're allowed to disembark? Will we be assigned a scheduled time slot, or do we just walk off as soon as we'd like?

 

2 - Is there usually a long line to physically get off the ship, or is this part generally pretty quick?

 

3 - From the time we step foot off the ship, approximately how long does it take to walk wherever we have to walk, stand in line, get through customs (do all the things) before we'd be standing outside the front of the terminal building?

 

4 - From the terminal building, where does Uber pick up? Right there in front, or is there a designated spot we'll need to walk to? If there's another area for Uber we'll need to walk to, approximately how far is the walk?

 

5 - For those who've ordered an Uber from Port Canaveral, is it typically pretty easy to get a car (lots of Ubers in the area willing to drive to Disney area)? We're seasoned Uber riders, and it's our preferred method of transportation when we don't have our own car. We take Ubers all the time here in Atlanta and in other cities/states while on vacations, and it's generally no more than a 5ish minute wait til a car can get to us wherever we are in the metro. Is it similar there? Or are there too few cars available for the number of disembarking passengers trying to order them?

 

Trying to gauge approximately when I should order the Uber so that we're not standing in the heat waiting forever for our ride. I could pre-reserve a specific time for pickup (we already reserved an Uber for embarkation morning from our hotel to the port), but I'm nervous we wouldn't make it outside in time, and they only wait 5 minutes after the scheduled time before they cancel they ride and charge me. If we can order one once we're outside and it'll show up a few minutes later, there's no reason to reserve one ahead of time and have to stress/rush to make it out there in time.

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

In our experience taxis are already in quie so if you are in a hurry they will be quicker. We also use lyft/uber, but  would not call for the uber until you are outside. It is not that hot that early in the day. Have been stuck with that cancellation fee before by not getting out there in time.

It is impossible to tell when you will be off the ship and when to order an Uber. You will either be waiting around for them, or they would have left and charged you for a no show.
