Hi Jessica!
Your vacation sounds practically perfect in every way! We have booked split stays many times. It's a great way to enjoy the sites and amenities of multiple
Resort hotels! It also helps with budgeting or finding available rooms during peak times.
Disney's All-Star Resorts are so fun! I love all of the iconic figures throughout the Resort hotels! They make for great photo opportunities!
Disney's Beach Club Resort is my son's favorite
Walt Disney World Resort hotel! He loves
Stormalong Bay and the location is wonderful for visiting either
Epcot or
Disney's Hollywood Studios. You are going to have an amazing time!
Disney's Magical Express will deliver all of your luggage to your first Resort hotel. Due to a variety of factors, they cannot deliver some of your bags to Disney's Beach Club Resort. However, transferring from one Resort hotel to the next is very easy! On the day of your transfer, you can simply pack your bags and call Luggage Assistance. Let them know you are transferring to Disney's Beach Club Resort. When it's time for you to depart, a Cast Member will count your bags with you, and will give you a claim check. Then, you are free to go enjoy your day! Be sure you keep anything with you that you will need throughout the day because it will take a few hours for your luggage to be delivered to your new Resort hotel.
You will want to take advantage of
online check-in so you will be notified when each room is available. When you arrive at Disney's Beach Club Resort, simply contact Bell Services and give them your baggage claim number. Based on personal experience, you might want to take a picture of your baggage claim number so you have it easily available on your mobile device when you need it. Your luggage will be delivered to your room and you can get settled in for the second part of your vacation.
I'm so excited for you!! I know you will enjoy both of your Resort hotels! Please let me know if you have any other questions as you plan your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
