So we are doing our first split stay between POP and CBR in December. We are staying from December 25th-31st.
We will be at POP from December 25th and checking out on the 28th. We will be checking in at CBR on the 28th and checking out on the 31st.
How deos the split stay work? I know that CBR and POP are very close to each other so would it just be easiest to take our own luggage with us and take a cab to CBR? Is there an easier way to do this?
We plan on using our move day as the day to explore the resorts and we will be going to DHS late afternoon so we are not in a time crunch really. We will probably head over to CBR around 9AM or so and check in and go see other resorts.
We will have food that is being transferred as well (safe allergy friendly snacks from home and water, gatorade, and ensure from garden grocer). SO I'm thinking that because of that it might be better to take it ourselves but i'm not sure. I'm assuming that with how busy it is during this time of year, we will not be able to check in early. Will they have a problem with storing food/drinks for us until our room is ready?

You'll find some people like to take their luggage with them and others prefer to let Disney transfer their luggage. It's really up to you and what makes you feel comfortable. If you choose to have Disney transfer your luggage you'll just call the bell desk from your room and let them know you're moving to a different resort. You can leave your bags there and they will handle any groceries you might have. Be sure to tell the bell desk if you have things that need refrigeration. The only possible down side to this is that you won't see your luggage again until the late afternoon. If you decide to take your luggage yourself by taxi you'll have the benefit of everything being with you, CBR can store things until your room is ready, but you have the added cost of the taxi ride. We've done it both ways, there really is no right or wrong way, it's just up to you to decide which would work best for your family.
