    I am hoping to park at our resort on the day of check-in. Can we check our bags with the hotel in the morning and go spend the day at the parks. Then when we get back, our room will be ready with our bags in them?

    Hey there, Samantha!

    I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to planDisney! Your summertime visit is just around the corner, and you must be counting down the days with excitement! There is so much magic waiting for you this summer at Walt Disney World, and I just know your vacation is going to be filled with unforgettable memories and fun.

    It sounds like you’re ready to head straight to the parks as soon as you arrive…I love that plan! When you check in to your Disney Resort, you’re more than welcome to leave your luggage with Bell Services while your room is being prepared. Then, after a fun-filled day in the parks, you can either stop by Bell Services to pick up your bags or simply call from your room and have them delivered right to you.

    With your trip getting so close, I also wanted to give you a quick reminder that you’re now within your booking window for dining reservations if you haven’t made them already. And since you’ll be staying at a Disney Resort, you’ll have the added perk of being able to purchase your Lightning Lane passes beginning 7 days before your check-in date, starting at 7:00 AM Eastern Time right in the My Disney Experience app.

    There are so many exciting things coming to Walt Disney World this summer, and one thing I’m especially looking forward to personally is the updated Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin! With new detachable handheld blasters and enhanced special effects, I already can’t wait to test my skills and see if I have what it takes to become a Star Commander.

    Samantha, I hope you have the best trip. If you have any other questions as you wrap up your planning, you’re always welcome here at planDisney!

    Magic Awaits,
