The short answerDisney Cruise Line moved Disney Wish embarkation to Terminal 10 at Port Canaveral for the three-night Halloween sailing departing Friday 11 Sep 2026, with return to Terminal 8 on Monday 14 Sep. Guests dropped luggage at Terminal 10, parked at Terminal 8, and took a shuttle to check in.

Disney Wish used two different Port Canaveral terminals on one short Halloween cruise. Cruise Hive reported the guest alert on 9 Sep 2026 after Disney emailed booked passengers.

The split terminal plan

Embarkation for the three-night sailing was Terminal 10 on Friday 11 Sep 2026. Return was Terminal 8 on Monday 14 Sep 2026. That split matters for parking, rideshares, and anyone meeting you at the curb.

Disney’s instructions, as Cruise Hive summarized them, told you to drop luggage at Terminal 10, park at Terminal 8, then ride a shuttle to Terminal 10 for check-in. Build extra time for that shuttle loop. A normal same-terminal morning already runs long with Disney’s boarding waves.

Why the swap showed up

Cruise Hive noted a possible link to Port Canaveral’s larger Terminal 10 renovation work, previously described around a $95 million project in August coverage. The renovation theory is context, not a confirmed cause from Disney’s email. Treat the operational instructions as firm. Treat the construction motive as reported background.

Cruise Hive also flagged a typo in the original guest email when checked against the port schedule. Rely on the corrected terminal numbers Cruise Hive published against that schedule, and on any updated Disney app message, before you commit a hotel shuttle.

What breaks if you ignore it

Arrive at Terminal 8 for embark and you may find no Wish check-in that morning. Park only at Terminal 10 without reading the note and you can lose the planned parking inventory Disney pointed you toward. Return day is Terminal 8, so schedule your pickup there, not at 10.

What you should do

Screenshot the terminal numbers from Disney’s latest message. Tell your rideshare or hotel shuttle the correct curb for Friday and for Monday. If you sail Wish again during Terminal 10 work, expect more one-off swaps until renovation traffic settles. This account follows Cruise Hive’s 9 Sep 2026 report of the Disney guest alert.
