Hiya Angela,
Welcome back to planDisney! I’m with you, unexpected delays can start (or end) a magical vacation on a sour note. As a detailed planner, nothing frustrates me more than finding out that my carefully crafted plan is disrupted by something outside of my control, so I would do the same thing as you.
Unfortunately, Angela, at this time, luggage transfer can only be done between Walt Disney World resort hotels. This means that you would not be able to do luggage transfer between Wyndham Lake Buena Vista and
Pop Century Resort. You have two options: use a rideshare service and store your luggage at
Bell Services at Pop Century Resort until check-in time, or store your luggage at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista until check-in time.
I know this wasn’t the answer you were hoping for, Angela, but I hope it was still helpful. Before I let you go, don’t forget that if you are staying at Pop Century this year you can get access to the
water park on your check-in day. I usually don’t visit the water parks, but with the new water park benefit for resort hotel guests, I have gotten a chance to do it a couple of times. It is a great way to ease into your vacation! My family and I love to start the day at the water park, and then once our resort hotel room is ready, we check in, do a quick shower, and then head to one of the theme parks for an early dinner. It has become our new favorite way to start a vacation. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
