Hiya Kathleen,
Welcome back to planDisney! One of the perks of staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotel is that you can enjoy 30 extra minutes in the Theme Parks with
Early Theme Park entry. This perk extends to the day of your arrival and departure. I love how you think; it is a great idea to capitalize on your vacation time by heading immediately to the Theme Parks upon arrival. I hope you arrive early enough to take advantage of the early entry!
Cast Members at
Bell Services will be happy to hold your luggage for you so that you can enjoy your time in the Theme Parks. Unfortunately, they cannot deliver your luggage or grocery deliveries to your resort room until at least one member of your travel party is present in the room. So I suggest dropping off your luggage before you head to the Theme Parks and then dialing Bell Services from the phone in your room once you are there so they can bring your bags (and grocery deliveries). They are available 24 hours a day, so you can take your time getting back. Regarding the fee, to have Bell Services deliver your luggage to your room, there is no charge associated with this service. You can tip at your discretion, but it is not a requirement. Grocery delivery is a bit different. If you would like Bell Services to deliver groceries to your room, a
small fee will be charged to your room. If you do not wish to pay this fee, you can pick up your delivery from Bell Services at no charge.
I hope this was helpful, Kathleen; just one last note about grocery delivery. You do not need to be present for your delivery to be dropped off at your resort hotel. However, if your order contains items that require age verification, such as alcohol and/or certain medications, you must be present to show your photo id if needed by the delivery service.
Please come back and see us if you need anything.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
