What do I do with my luggage between checkout and 6:00pm flight?

So, if I have to check out of a Disney World Resort hotel by 1100AM (is that right?) on a given day, but my flight is not until 600PM. What happens with my luggage in the mean time? I plan on taking advantage of the Magical Express automatic baggage handling service... do they just hold on to it at the hotel until fly time?

You can leave your luggage with bell services at your resort. Go to the parks and enjoy the rest of the day.

If you are using the Resort Airline Check-in service, you can give your bags to them anytime between 6:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. (12 hours before your flight and when the desk closes) and they will get to your plane. They will not be held at the hotel that entire time, but will be taken to the airport at some point.

For any bags you are going to carry on, you can check those with bell services and they will store them for you. If you are not using RAC, then you can store all bags with bell services and then take them to the airport with you. A gratuity is customary for both services.

Thanks! That makes sense.
