Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Natalie. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to hear you're planning a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort! There's no place I'd rather be, that's for sure.
My family and I love a split-stay. When we stay at two (or more!) Disney Resort hotels in a single vacation, we get to enjoy the unique amenities, theming, and recreational offerings of each! Complimentary luggage transfers make moving from one Disney Resort hotel to another super efficient and easy, so I completely understand wanting to get information on how that works with Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels too. It's no wonder you're seeing mixed answers about it! The official answer from a Disney Cast Member is that, no, luggage transfers are unfortunately not available from a Disney Resort hotel to Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. The
unofficial consensus is that, as of now, complimentary luggage transfers
are available in each direction. Because the answer is about as clear as mud, my best advice is to be prepared for the possibility that a luggage transfer between a Disney Resort hotel and Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is not available at the time of your visit. In that case, it's just a good idea to have a backup plan, like relying on a ride share service to move your bags from one hotel to the next.
Did you know that Guests of Walt Disney World Swan and Dophin can take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry and
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours? Extra time in the parks means extra magic!
I hope this was helpful, Natalie. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
