Hiya Amy - welcome to
planDisney!
I'm so glad you stopped by to ask your question, which just so happens to be about my absolute favorite
Disney Resorts Collection hotel -
Disney's Riviera Resort - and the new adventure I'm most excited for -
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser! You made some fantastic choices and combined with the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration, this will surely be one of your family's most magical vacations!
I absolutely love split-stays during my
Walt Disney World Resort vacations, and I imagine many Guests will be adding on additional days to their
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser voyages. You are correct that Bell Services at
Disney's Riviera Resort will be able to transfer your luggage before your launch into space, but we do need to explore options for your crew to get to the
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Terminal.
Your crew is taking one of the very first voyages, and at this time, I haven't seen any details specific to transportation between other
Disney Resorts Collection hotels and the Terminal. I spoke to a Cast Member who confirmed that at this time, transportation to the Terminal is only via personal vehicle (i.e., your own vehicle or rental car) with included valet parking, or you can utilize one of the many taxi or ride-sharing services available. It's always possible that additional details or options will be provided closer to the date of your voyage, or perhaps closer to the Halcyon's maiden voyage, so be sure to keep an eye out for any communications.
While I'm sure your voyage aboard the Halcyon will be a highlight of your vacation, don't forget to explore all that
Disney's Riviera Resort has to offer. For example, the Blueberry-Lemon pancakes at
Primo Piatto are my favorite breakfast in all of
Walt Disney World Resort!
Have a magical trip, and don't hesitate to reach out to me with any additional questions!
Ryan J.
