Hey there, Melanie!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for bringing us a phenomenal
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question.
Oh boy! It sounds like you'll be checking in at a fabulous
Disney Resort hotel very soon. There's nothing like being welcomed home to one of the incredible resorts on property! Let's get you prepared for your magical and memorable arrival.
Melanie, I think you'll be pleased to know that, when you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel, you're welcome to pull up to the main building (usually under a porte-cochère) to unload your luggage with
Bell Services before you park your vehicle. This way, Guests aren't expected to lug their suitcases across the parking lot before check-in! If your room is ready, you may either proceed straight there if you've already
checked in online using the My Disney Experience mobile app, or you may need to stop by the Front Desk. Either way, Bell Services is available to assist you with luggage delivery straight to your room!
On the other hand, if you've arrived before your room is ready, you're welcome to check your luggage in with Bell Services. They'll keep your items safe and secure until you return once your room is prepared, or they'll be happy to deliver your baggage straight to your room at your request! When my family arrives before check-in time, we like to take some time to lounge by the pool at our Disney Resort hotel, grab a snack or drink, and settle into the vacation vibe. For this reason, we usually pack swimsuits and pool gear in a separate, easily accessible bag that we keep on us instead of leaving with Bell Services.
Melanie, I hope you've found this information helpful as you gear up for a magical Disney Resort hotel stay! If you have any additional questions throughout your visit, you're always welcome to stop back by
planDisney again. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Warm wishes,
Lauren
