Boarding time/when to arrive

[paragon]

We just booked for 4/7-4/10
I'm wondering what time we need to be at the port.

Typically boarding begins anywhere from noon to 1pm. I'm pretty sure the port doesn't open to new guests until 10am. When you check-in, you'll be given a numbered "boarding pass". It seems to run very smoothly.

If you have control over it (in other words, delivering yourself!), try to be there before 1:00pm. That is when the busses start to arrive from the resorts and it gets crazy. It took us about 30 mins to get on the ship from the time we got off the bus.

We like to get there early. We like to arrive at around 11am and hang out in the terminal..

Thanks for the information!
Now I can't wait til April!!!
I'm hoping to see some guest photos of the ship soon somewhere, other than the photos that Disney has already put out there. I am also interested to see dinner menus somewhere as well as an actual daily itinerary. The Disney cruise site seems to have very limited information so far.
