Will bell services hold groceries day before check-in?

[monetnj]

We are staying at a 1 bedroom at VWL from 8/17-8/22. However, I recently got a Ding fare from Southwest that pushed our fly-down to a day earlier than we had planned. I'm thinking of maybe checking in to one of the Pop resorts for the night of the 16th and getting our vacation started a day early. We usually buy our groceries on the way in, but I now wonder how I will store the food that needs refrigeration. I know that Pop bell services can store it and move it and our luggage over to VWL, but I am a bit nervous about how long that might take and our cold stuff spoiling in transit. Getting groceries on 8/17 instead may not be possible as I will most likely only have access to a car on 8/16 (also the reason I can't just move the food myself on 8/17). I would also rather not go the grocery delivery route.

Does anyone know if bell services at WL will store our stuff overnight on 8/16 for check in at VWL on 8/17? Or maybe, for the sake of simplicity, should we just check into a regular room at WL on 8/16 so that we only have to deal with bell services at one hotel? Price difference for us is about $120 between Pop and WL, but that is just about our expenses on groceries for the week at VWL. Any advice or other options we overlooked would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi!

We did the same thing! We planned on arriving On Aug 31st, received a DING through SW and now we leave 6pm Aug 29. We will be staying at ASMo Fri and Sat night and then check in at BWV on Sun (our originial date). We are having groceries delivered by WeGo Shop on Sun. We have used them before and it was fast and easy. We have them shop at Walmart for us. You give them a list prior to arrival and they shop for you and deliver it right to your hotel. Last time we used them, they delivered it to our room. It was great, everything was cold and still frozen.

I'm not too sure if VWL will keep groceries for you overnight, you could always call the hotel directly and ask.

Have fun!!
