bell services - can anyone use them or they only for resort guests? - The DIS Discussion Forums

I am planning a surprise for my best friends' 65th birthday. We are heading to the world and will be there a few days before I am having her daughter fly in and meet up with us.

I don't want to pick the daughter up at the airport so I am planning on getting a town car service to take her from the airport to the hotel restaurant the we will be eating dinner at. By my calculations she should arrive at the restaurant about the time we are finishing up our meal. (if not I will have to find an excuse to stay at the lobby for awhile).

Can she drop her luggage off at bell services? and we pick it up when we head to our hotel?

Sure You can leave her luggage at Bell Services even if you aren't staying there.

I did something similiar on a smaller scale when I ate at the California Grill. I wasn't staying at CR but wanted to wear a dress to dinner but then change into shorts for going to MK for the evening.

I wore the dress, put the outfit change in a backpack and dropped that off at Bell Services at Contemporary. Then I picked up the backpack after dinner, went into a rest room and changed and then carried the backpack around that evening in MK. It worked great.

The only issue I can think of is you would need to have a car when you are done at the restaurant because you cannot take luggage on a normal bus. Or you could use a taxi to your hotel if you didn't have a car.

Thanks so much - I will have a car so that won't be a problem - now I have to get planning air arrival and resort dining timing. Thanks again
