    We’re staying at the Swan before our cruise and catching the bus at Boardwalk. Bell Services picks up bags from Disney resort rooms around 7 a.m. Does that mean I need to walk our bags to the Boardwalk Bell Desk at 7?

    Ahoy Nathan!

    Thanks for dropping anchor here at planDisney before setting sail with Disney Cruise Line. How exciting that you have a stay at the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel before your cruise. I hope you get to enjoy a few days in the theme parks before you set sail! I recently enjoyed a Land and Sea vacation, and the cruise was the perfect way to kick back and relax after spending long days in the theme parks. 

    Since you are walking over to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn to catch the bus to the cruise terminal, you can arrive with your luggage at your designated pickup time. Your bags will then be directly loaded onto the bus before your departure. Be sure to put your luggage tags on the bags you plan to have transported to your stateroom and any important documents, like your passport and Port Arrival Form, and items you want to carry with you in a carry-on bag. I like to put swimsuits and sunscreen in my carry-on so we can go straight to the pool after we board the ship. 

    I hope this information helps you prepare for a magical Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line vacation, Nathan. I wish you smooth seas and a happy sailing! If you have more questions we can help answer, please bring them here to planDisney. We are all ears!

    See Ya Real Soon!
