Check-in process for Concierge / Speciale rooms

[catloaves]

Have an upcoming split stay at the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel / MiraCosta. Since we booked Concierge / Speciale-level rooms, my understanding is that we'll be able to check in (or pre check in) at Marceline Salon / Salone dell'Amico.

For those of you who've done this, what is the process like? I'm most curious about (1) how luggage is handled — do we bring everything directly into the lounges with us during check-in? drop things off with bell services first? especially for the MiraCosta where the lounge appears to require an elevator ride to 5F— and (2) how long did check in or pre check in take you? Have seen a few folks online mention it taking upwards of 30 mins, which makes me wonder if it'd be safer to hold off on booking restaurant reservations close to our expected check-in time.

Thank you very much in advance.

From what I understand, you go directly to the lounge. Not sure about luggage though. I am staying in concierge/speciale rooms at both hotels next month. I hope check-in doesn’t take 30 minutes! Also staying at FS Hotel but not in concierge.

Also, does anyone here have experience just visiting the lounges for a drink? Are they crowded or easy to get into?
