How ya doin' Jackson and welcome to planDisney!
The
Walt Disney World Resort is a huge, ever-evolving magic machine with so many moving parts. Keeping up with the new info can sometimes feel like riding in the caboose on
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. You just hang on to your Minnie Ears and go along for the wildest ride in the wilderness! Luckily we're riding right in the seat right next to you figuring it all out!
I actually just stayed at
The Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel in December and had a split stay with my second hotel being
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. I discovered that while I could leave my luggage at the Bell Services desk once I checked out of The Walt Disney World Dolphin hotel to go and have lunch at
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin', they would not move them to a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. What I ended up doing was going to pick up my luggage after my lunch and catching a rideshare option to my next home away from home. The price wasn't bad at all and there are always so many drivers around since it's such a major tourist spot.
Pro tip: Leave those bags and visit the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! The International Gateway is within walking distance of your hotel. That way getting back to pick them up and move to your next hotel is a cinch.
Jackson, I hope I've been able to clear up any confusion for you. If you have any other questions
please come back for another visit!
Happy planning!
