Hi there, Michael!
It IS a good day because we get to chat all about my favorite place, Walt Disney World! So happy to hear you have a vacation planned to the Most Magical Place of Earth. I'm heading there in November too and counting down the days!
You sound like a seasoned pro talking about a split stay at different resorts and having your luggage transferred. Good call! I definitely love to have Mickey and pals do the heavy lifting when it comes to moving our luggage for us...and it tends to be heavy lifting because I pack LOTS!
I checked with a Cast Member to verify this, and it is true that Bell Services will be happy to assist you in transferring your luggage over from whichever Walt Disney World Resort hotel you are starting at to the Walt Disney World
Swan or
Dolphin hotels. Be mindful that most luggage transfers are scheduled for the afternoon, so plan accordingly. We don't want a packed item to be missing in action when you need it!
Having stayed at both Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels, I can tell you that whichever one you have chosen, both hotels know how to make you feel immersed in the magic. The beauty is their location and close proximity to
EPCOT and
Disney's Hollywood Studios. You just can’t beat being able to walk over to the International Gateway at EPCOT and instantly feeling like you’ve been transported abroad.
Speaking of globetrotting, I hope you have time built into your plans to explore the
Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival which is scheduled to run through the fall. (There's currently no end date specified). It is hands down one of my favorite events all year at Walt Disney World. The food and beverage options are diverse and divine! I can’t wait to grab a Kahlua Pork Slider, the Traditional Poutine, and a Liquid Nitro Chocolate Cake Pop. Wow-all this talk about food has me really hungry!
Michael, dive back in to your vacation planning by sending more questions over to planDisney. Wishing you a magical vacation!
