    After a Disney cruise, we are using Disney transfers to AKL hotel, we stopped here prior to cruise. Our Disney transfer to the airport is a few hours later are we ok leaving our cases at bell services and using Disney buses to go to Disney Springs? Thanks

    Hiya, Ian! Welcome back to planDisney!
     
    A land and sea vacation is my favorite type of getaway, Ian. I like your style! It combines the fun of the parks at Walt Disney World Resort with the relaxed vibes of a Disney Cruise. That’s the best of both worlds!

    To answer your question, Ian, Bell Services at Walt Disney World Resort hotels offer luggage storage services on your check-in and check-out days. This allows you to enjoy the parks or Disney Springs while you’re waiting for your room to be ready or heading to the airport at the end of your stay, or even heading out on a Disney Cruise, which is a much better way to ease the blues of ending your Walt Disney World vacation!

    Unfortunately, since you are not checking in or out on the day that you disembark the cruise, you will not be able to leave your luggage with Bell Services at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge on that day. I know that may not be the news you were hoping for, Ian. If you were wanting to head into one of the parks, there are locker rentals at the parks that may accommodate your suitcases, depending on their size. You can find the dimensions of the available lockers on the Walt Disney World website.

    Having said that, you certainly have a lot to look forward to, Ian! You’ll be at Walt Disney World during the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. EPCOT is at its most beautiful at this time of year, in my opinion. There are fun Disney character topiaries and gorgeous garden displays throughout the park. Plus, there are plenty of delicious eats and sips at the Outdoor Kitchens. Check out the Disney Parks Blog Foodie Guide to see if anything catches your eye!
     
    I hope you have a wonderful land and sea vacation, Ian! If you have any other questions leading up to your visit, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at planDisney. We’re always happy to help!

    See you real soon!
