Hiya, Lisa, and welcome to planDisney! I am so glad you stopped by with this question as you are planning your upcoming trip to
Walt Disney World Resort and all its gadgets and gizmos aplenty.
On my last trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, I learned a lot about shipping. With all the whoozits and whatzits galore, my suitcase was not up to the challenge.
You can have items you purchase at Walt Disney World Resort theme parks and hotels shipped back to your home. This is a good option, especially if you are purchasing something large like a lightsaber at
Savi's Workshop. Just ask a Cast Member at the shop about shipping options. For a lightsaber specifically, since Savi's is not a store, you can go to
Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities or
Droid Depot to have these shipped so you do not have to transport these back through the galaxy (or carry them through
Disney's Hollywood Studios the rest of the day). There are options to make it easy for you to get your souvenirs - of all shapes and sizes - back home.
If you are making purchases throughout your vacation, you might find waiting and shipping everything together is a better option. You can take any purchases you made within Walt Disney World theme parks and resorts to a gift shop and have them consolidated for shipping.
To have items shipped, you should save your receipt(s). Cast Members told me this will save a lot of time as they create your shipping label and prepare your shipping receipt with all the items you are entrusting into their care.
If you have any other questions, please stop back by
planDisney. We love talking planning, shopping, dining, all of it.
Life is the bubbles!
