A very warm greetings to you, Nel, and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you have an upcoming Halloween Season visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! I love the spooky season and the decorations that appear for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are phenomenal! I certainly hope you have some time to enjoy this special event!
Currently, the merchandise delivery service for Guests staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel is unavailable and there has been no news of its return in the near future. I would recommend following the
Disney Parks Blog just in case any announcements are made about this benefit before your trip. I can totally understand not wanting to carry around a bunch of bags full of souvenirs as you navigate the Parks, so here a couple of options to consider.
If you find yourself out and about and need to stow your cargo (yo ho!), then consider renting a locker.
Locker rentals may be found throughout the Walt Disney World Resort and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. It's a great way to take a load off your hands and enjoy the rest of the day without the excess weight.
I see that you've also asked a question about shipping your purchases home, which brings me to the next option. The Theme Parks do offer ship-to-home services but instead of many smaller shipments, you may absolutely consolidate all your purchases into a single shipment and have it sent home for a fee. I spoke with a Cast Member and confirmed that this service is available at all Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, including the All Star Resorts. Just make sure to keep all your receipts and bring your purchases to the Front Desk. They'll take care of packing everything for you and will ship everything home as a part of their
Mail Services. And the best part is that you'll get a surprise delivery to ease those post Disney vacation blues!
Nel, you're a person after my own heart. I love taking home Disney souvenirs that represent my trip but I always end up with more than I anticipate. Having the option to ship my purchases home has been so convenient.
I hope this helped to reassure you before your trip, Nel. Please return anytime you have more questions because we'd love to continue being involved in your trip. You're welcome anytime at planDisney! Until next time!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
