*Changing Resorts

[DisneyaHolic23]

When we go right after Christmas, we had to book two resorts because they couldn't accomodate us for the entire time at one resort. My questions are these:
1) Can I just pack up my stuff and have them come get it, or do I need to wait with the luggage?
2) How long does it take to transfer luggage from one resort to another?
3) Is tipping the same as luggage handlers?

Thanks for any other advice or tips on this topic - we are moving from Yacht Club to Coronado Springs, if that makes a difference.

DisneyaHolic23,
I did a split resort stay between CBR and AKL in October and it was seamless! To answer your questions:

1. You can call bell services the night before you check out and tell them you need a hotel transfer the next day, but you have to stay with your luggage till bell services comes to get the luggage (the only resorts that you don't need to be with your luggage are the value resorts). I didn't know how it exactly worked when we did it, but we just called them in the am when we were ready to go and then bell services came right up, we tipped them and went to the parks.

2. Your luggage should be brought to CSR between the hours of 1:00pm-3:00pm.

3. We tipped them $1 per bag
