Hiya Elaine,
Welcome to planDisney! As soon as I set foot onto Walt Disney World Resort property, I have a set of rules. Number 1: calories don’t matter, number 2: be in the moment, and number 3: if I like it, I’m buying it. I generally try to limit my purchases to what can fit in my luggage, but every once in a while, that isn’t possible.
The good news, Elaine, is that you can ship home
packages from the Front Desk or Concierge desk at most Walt Disney World Resort Hotels. The packages must be pre-packaged and labeled. If you don’t have a box, you’ll want to head to a resort with a business center, such as the
Contemporary or
Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. They can help you in those cases. Now, Elaine, if you haven’t yet purchased the items from EPCOT (or you still have the receipt), then did you know that you can ask a Cast Member to ship them at the register? I’ve done this before, and it is really easy to do. Simply bring your items (along with the receipt) to
Creations Shop (or any other Disney-owned store), and they will package your items for shipment to your home.
I hope this was helpful, Elaine. Regardless of the shipping option you choose, I always take a picture of the items beforehand, request extra padding if they are fragile, and ask for estimated shipping timelines. This helps me to ensure that my package arrives safely at my home, and I know when to expect it. Please come back and see us if you need anything else, and enjoy the rest of your trip!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
