Anyone with experience moving resorts?????

We do but....we have always either had our own car or a rental....and this trip I'm thinking of taking advantage of the Magical Express if I can.

The main question is what to do with our luggage after the first night?

We will fly in on Saturday May 28th -- pretty late and I'm thinking we would do the Magical Express and take 2 rooms (for wife and 4 kids) at POP. But, we check-in Sunday May 29th at the Beach Club Villas for 3 nights. We then are staying 3 nights at Vero and my plan is to rent a van from the Alamo at the Dolphin for the day we will drive to Vero. That way we only need it from Wed -- Saturday. We return the van Sat night after checking back into POP for 2 more nights. Then we take the Magical Express in mid afternoon on Monday June 6th. It looks like my van rental would only cost about $200 if I can get this to work out. That's a lot of stuff to lug around via the typical bus transportation.

Does anyone know if Disney (either POP or BWV) would help us transfer our luggage that Sunday morning/afternoon? Anyone else had a similar logistics problem?


Thanks all. It's 8 degrees and snowy right now so May 28th is looking very exciting.

Yes, the resorts will move you luggage for you. Take it (or have it picked up) to the luggage storage room when you check out and tell them you are moving to the BCV. Return from your day to your new resort and your luggage will be there sometime in the afternoon. They will give you an ETA. I've done it a couple times and it is very slick. After several days of riding a certain resort bus, you need to remember to board the new resort bus the day you move! LOL

Have fun.

It is real easy to move, ust keep anything important with you that you might need before getting to the second room.

OK -- this is encouraging. We have decided to have this be a very low key, relaxing WDW visit and are in no hurry to check out or check in. Most likely, that Sunday will be spent either at the BCV pool or at Blizzard Beach so we won't need much stuff until dinner.
