What do you do about your luggage if you bought transfers through DCL, but are staying at a hotel the night before? Bring them to the airport to catch the bus?
Though I haven't done it befor, my plan is to arrive the night before and stay in one of the local hotels with free airport shuttle. We will take the shuttle to the hotel and then the morning of the cruise take the shuttle back to the airport to pick up the DCL bus. We can't be the only ones that do that since there are a lot of people that come in the night before.
I am coming in the night before my sailing trip (October 23rd) and staying at the hotel in the airport. According to the docs that came with our tickets...we are to tell the front desk at the hotel that we are on the Disney Cruise when we register. A Disney representative will greet us the next morning and direct us on where to get the shuttle. I believe they will take our bags for us at this time too.
DOn't put your DCL tags on your luggage before leaving home when flying down the day before. You will want your luggage with you (probably) that first night. Once you get to the hotel, put your tags on the bags and take the shuttle back to the airport, where DCL will take your bags and help you get situated for the trip to the port and your magical cruise.
We are also coming in the night before (Arriving at 11:30pm) We will use the shuttle back and forth, getting to the airport by 10am for the Disney bus...they have an area where we are to meet.
