I apologize for asking what I know is a repeated question. I did attempt to search for the answer, but found nothing on the first several pages of results, so hopefully this wasn't answered too recently.
How do you manage a transfer from one resort to another for a split stay, relying on Disney transportation, no rental or other car? We are doing a triple split, staying at POFQ, ALK, and ASSp (don't ask why...) and will thus need to move twice. I am not worried about moving ourselves, as the intricacies of bus transfers at parks is something I am familiar with. However, what about our luggage? I know that others have mentioned that luggage can be transfered between resorts, but how does this work? Does it take forever to transfer? Is it really safe to hand over all of our luggage (including carry-on items) and know we will get all of it transfered to another hotel in a reasonable time? I don't want to have to lug all of our stuff around to put in park lockers during the day (I'm not sure the bag checkers at the parks would love three adults come in with toothbrushes, shampoo, underwear, etc) but I am nervous about leaving everything to chance.
What have others done? How do you navigate split stays without a car?
In case it needs any more explanation, I am most worried about the move from AKL to ASSp. We are doing the Epcot Aqua Seas tour that afternoon, so will need to have bathing suits and a change of clothes with us. If we brought the essential items that we didn't want to get lost with us to Epcot, what would we do with them? I just don't like leaving valuables in the locker rooms in Epcot or with unknown luggage tranfers between resorts.
