Hi there, Erica!
Welcome BACK to
planDisney! It is wonderful to see you here asking another Disney vacation question. It sounds like you have a magical visit just around the river bend with a split stay at two of my favorite Disney resorts. You will be surrounded by the elegance and sophistication of the European Riviera at
Disney’s Riviera Resort, and then into the adventure of the African savannas teaming with beautiful wildlife at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village.
One of the wonderful things about a split-stay between Disney Resorts is that
Bell Services will transfer luggage from one resort to the next for you. Typically, Bell Services will only transfer luggage and nonperishable and unopened grocery items. It is challenging to ensure refrigerated items stay at the proper temperature while being transferred between resorts. I recommend taking refrigerated items from Riviera Resort to Kidani Village yourself on the day you switch resorts. You can then ask Bell Services to hold these items in the refrigerator until your new room is ready. Stop by Bell Services when you check in at Riviera and ask if they would be able to accommodate your refrigerated items during the transfer between resorts. They may be able to work some special magic for you.
I hope you have an unforgettable vacation at
Walt Disney World Resort, making memories you will cherish for a lifetime, Erica! You’ve got a friend in me, in all of us here at planDisney. Please come back whenever we can answer your vacation questions.
See Ya Real Soon!
