Resort Switching & Luggage?

[mello]

If you stay at two different Disneyland Resort hotels during your stay, does Disney transfer your luggage from one to the other?

My experience has only been at Walt Disney World, but I figure this would also apply at Disneyland. We do split stays alot and Disney will transfer your luggage for you at no additional cost. Simply take your bag to guest services or call guest services to pick up your luggage at your room. They will then have you fill out a card (claim ticket) with the resort you are transferring to (at Disneyland it should be pretty easy since you only have 1 other choice) and the luggage will then be delivered to your room.

I tried to get them to move the luggage last year and they would not so we just stayed at the Grand. Maybe things have changed, you can always ask.

The last time we switched, it was a while ago, they would not take it without us going along which was a real drag. In the past, they just moved it over for us to the bell station at the other hotel and we would just call for our luggage when we got into our room. We'd just tip the bellman who picked it up at the first hotel and the bellman who delivered it to our room at the second hotel.

But this last time, it went like this: call from room for bell hop, he comes and picks it up(TIP) and takes it to luggage hold where another bell hop(TIP) rolls it over to the other hotel's bell station. Then another bell hop checks it in there(TIP) and finally when you get your room, another bell hop brings it to your room(TIP again.) We had a LOT of luggage, maybe 5 bags and at $2/bag the tips were waaaay more than taking a taxi ourselves (under $10) and we had to walk along the whole way with the luggage taking more time out of our day.

Either bring rolling luggage you can walk over yourselves or take a taxi! There is NO formal charge but the tips are a killer....

Nope. There is not a specific system set-up at DLR to handle luggage transferring as they are at WDW.

It is not a "no," but it takes a little finesse, and as PPs stated, often you will be required to be present.

Raven there are 3 DLR hotels, the GCH, the DLH & and the PPH.

OP we considered this for one of our trips when we stayed at the PPH, it was a bday thing and found out we could stay at the GCH our last 2 nights at a GREAT rate, but when we asked and were told that we had to accompany our luggage we decided to stay where we were. We did have a vehicle and we could have stored our luggage there but we decided it wasn't worth it.

It's so easy to do at WDW, we've done it a few times; you'd think it would be even easier at DLR! Glad I checked first... we're booked at DLH and were thinking about adding a couple nights somewhere - thought it might be kinda fun to try one of the others. It's funny how there are so many little differences between DLR and WDW, isn't it?

I agree WDW makes changing resorts very easy.

At DLR you should be resigned to the fact that you are basically on your own, checking out of one hotel and then checking into a different hotel. No consideration that both hotels are 'on property'.

If you must change hotels, check out - take your luggage to your new hotel yourself. Check into the new hotel and if your room isn't ready, have them hold your luggage at Bell services just like you would normally do. It eats up some of your morning, and you're without a room for most of a day, so for most people it's just not worth the effort.
I did it - once. Never again.
