Hiya Michelle and welcome to planDisney. I love a trip where I "split-stay" at two or more Disney Resorts Collection Hotels. It is more magic and theming as well as an opportunity to try the food at another Resort hotel.
Bell Services will happily transfer your bags from one
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel to another. Tell Bell Services that you are transferring to Disney Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and they will automagically make the arrangements. It will take several hours so if there are specific items you want out of your bag for the theme parks then be sure to pull those items out and place them in another bag to take with you.
Ask Bell Services at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside if they will be delivered to your room or Bell Services. We had to wait until after 5:00 PM on one trip before our bags were delivered to Bell Services and another time they were there after 3:00 PM delivered to our room. When you arrive at the new Resort ask Bell Services where your bags were delivered.
planDisney Pro Tip: Nearby and an easy
Sassagoula River Cruise away is one of the hidden gems food gems of Disney's Port Orleans - French Quarter: the delicious beignets at
Scat Cat's Club - Cafe. WOW! If you get a chance for breakfast or you need a snack, check this place out.
Michelle, enjoy your magical split-stay Disney adventure. It is so nice to see the different properties. If you want any other Disney vacation planning tips feel free to

Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
