Question What time to leave for port?

We will be staying the night before the cruise at the Hilton in the Disney Village. We are going to the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - I think I'm more excited than the kids!

We wanted to take the boys to the Lego Store in the Disney Village the day we leave on the cruise - they are lego junkies . It opens at 10. What time should we leave for the Port? We are renting a car at the hotel. I'm wondering how long it takes to get to the Port and also how long to be transported from Avis car rental to the actual terminal.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

The drive from WDW takes just about an hour. Allow about a half-hour for car rental drop-off and the shuttle to the port. (If you have two adults along, one can drop off the rest of the party and luggage at the cruise terminal before heading over to Avis - that'll be easier on everyone.) That's about 90 minutes, allow another 15-20 minutes for cruise check-in, and boarding begins between Noon and 12:30pm. So, you could probably squeeze in a stop at the Lego Store and still be on board the ship before 1:00pm. Get any desired reservations/sign-ups done online before you sail, and you'll be in great shape. You'd be able to board, eat a nice lunch, spend some time at/in the pool - all before you have to do the 4:00pm mandatory safety drill.

Enjoy!
