Help with storing luggage for 7 days

[Asley]

We will be checking out of our Villa and taking a seven day cruise before heading home and don't want to take all the extra luggage, any suggestions on where we might be able to store our bags where they will be safe?

Will you be able to stop at the resort you're leaving before you head home? If so, just store it there at Bell Services.

My brother tried to leave luggage at WDW. Before their cruse. Bell services said they could not accommodate him. They had bring all the extras with them

I doubt the resort will store your luggage while you cruise. When we cruised, we left excess luggage in our rental car. I would recommend renting a car and doing that. Then you can just get in it and drive away after your cruise vs using shuttles.

We stayed at POR 2 nights before our cruise. We left our extra bags with POR's Bell Services for the cruise. We picked it up the day we got back, absolutely no problem whatsoever, before heading on to Universal.

Good gracious, if POR can do it, why can't a villa?

This was just in February, and MANY people on the resorts board have had the same experience as I did since then.

Luggage storage space at any Villas isn't as plentiful as at WDW's largest resort, perhaps?

Maybe it is the length of time they have a problem with? A week is a long time for a resort to store your luggage.

I did a google search and found Orlando Baggage Storage located in an outlet mall near Disney and gave them a call and I can store all my bags for $10.00 per day so hopefully this will work out well.

There is only so much room in the storage areas...and it isn't meant to store bags while you're off doing something else. I can well understand if Bell Services/Luggage Assistance says no if asked.
If you are heading to an off site storage area, I assume you have a car? Why not just leave your bags in the car? That's what we do when we cruise.

The problem is we stayed with our friend in a Villa and they are not taking the cruise so they will drop us at the port and return their rental car to the airport when they catch their return flight home.
