Early arrival; DME, rental car, or both?

We arrive at MCO at 10:30AM on a Saturday, and have a reservation at BWV. I have a reservation for a rental car, but I wonder what people think about sending DD and DH, along with our luggage, on DME. I know our villa (rented on points) won't be ready until 4pm; I'm sure our luggage will be better off stored with bell services than stashed in the back of our rental car. I suspect the car will get VERY hot before we are able to check in at BWV! Also, shouldn't our bags will be in our room most likely by the check-in time, or will they arrive at our room within a couple of hours AFTER the 4pm check in time? If I can send them on DME with DD and DH, we won't have to schlep them around once we check in; I suspect with a 5:55am flight, we are going to be pretty tired by the time 4pm rolls around (especially as we are having lunch in Epcot at F&W and riding Soarin' at 3pm)!

Will BWV hold our luggage for us and deliver it to the room once we are checked in?

Yes. If you collect your luggage and all take the car, you can just drop everything off with Bell Services. Later on when your room is ready and you're ready to go to the room, call Bell and have them deliver your bags.

Have you checked prices renting from Alamo or National from the Car Care Center or the other on/near property places? It ca be worth it, just to check. Then you could pick up the car that evening, or on the second day, etc.
