Greetings, Joy, and welcome to planDisney! Your upcoming visit to
Walt Disney World Resort is around the corner, so I hope you're packed and ready to roll! Ka-CHOW! My family loves staying in the Family Suites at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort, and the
Disney Skyliner is our favorite way to get around the parks. You're going to have a fabulous time! But no one wants to lug heavy bags around when they're on vacation, so let's see your options for getting those suitcases full of Minnie Ears to your room!
If your room is ready when you arrive, you can tell a friendly Cast Member at the front desk that you'd like help getting your luggage to your room. Depending on how busy they are, you might have to wait a few minutes, but
Bell Services will certainly be able to deliver your luggage to your room for you.
Joy, if you arrive before check-in time and your room isn't ready, you can let the front desk know that you'd like to leave your bags while you head out to explore. I love going to
Disney Springs on early-arrival days. It's the perfect opportunity to grab a cookie at
Gideon's Bakehouse! And when you return to your room, your luggage should be waiting for you.
While there is no set fee for either of these services, it's customary to tip Cast Members who help with luggage. I don't know about you, but having help with my heavy bags is worth just about any amount of money. Those Minnie Ears can get heavy!
I hope your visit is magical, Joy, and please know you can
stop by planDisney anytime. We're here to help!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
