Hi Doris,
Welcome to planDisney!
We are delighted to see you stopping by with a question. Looking at your arrival date, I am so excited. Let the packing begin! As long as you are transferring from one
Disney Resorts Collection resort hotel to another, you can leave your bags with Bell Services and they will transfer them for you. I did call to speak with someone in
Bell Services and they also stressed to drop your bags off before 12:00 noon. Remember to keep any medication and other important items with you and do not leave any perishable food items in your bags. As always, double-check with Bell Services when you arrive since policies and procedures could change.
When we have done split stays at different resort hotels, we have always used the luggage transfer service. We will drop our bags off at Bell Services prior to heading out to a theme park and then when we get to the new resort hotel, we stop by the Bell Services desk or call from our resort hotel room and someone brings our bags to us! I will say, be sure to check your schedule. If you have a dinner and want to wear a specific outfit that evening, give yourself plenty of time to get those bags.
I also suggest that you take advantage of
Online Check-In so that you will get a text message when your room is ready at the new resort hotel. The process has been smooth and efficient when we have used it. It truly has made doing a split stay much easier.
Doris, as you make those final preparations, check to make sure you have
advanced dining reservations, especially for character meals. And review the info on
Lightning Lane passes and
Virtual Queues. Sending a little extra pixie dust trusting that you are good to go!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
