Hi Allan,
Welcome home! It's so great to hear that you will be visiting the
Walt Disney World Resort during the Holidays. All 4 theme parks and all of the Disney Resort Collection hotels will be decked out in their holiday finery and it is a sight to behold. Since you are staying at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn, you might want to take advantage of the close proximity to
Disney's Beach Club Resort and
Disney's Yacht Club Resort and walk over to see their holiday decorations, too. The decorations really are incredible, and each Disney Resort hotel has its own unique holiday decorations. In the past, Disney's Beach Club Resort had a working gingerbread carousel displayed as well as a seasonal sweet shop nearby where you could purchase a selection of gingerbread goodies. I can still smell the sweet and spicy gingerbread just from thinking about it! If you haven't visited other Disney Resort hotels when they are decorated for the holidays, I highly recommend trying it out.
You will be happy to know that you can indeed send a package ahead of time to your Disney Resort hotel. Personally, whenever I do this, I like to have the delivery date of about 5-7 days ahead of my arrival. That way if there is a delay with shipping, most likely my package will still arrive before my family does. In order to make sure your package gets to the right location, you should mail it to the address listed underneath the map icon in this link for
Disney's BoardWalk Inn. On your shipping label, be sure to have "GUEST" written before your name and also have the date of your arrival on it. Here is a link with more details for
Mail Services within the Walt Disney World Resort that you can read through.
Have a Magical vacation, Allan! As you continue planning your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation, please bring all of your vacation planning questions to us right here at

See Ya Real Soon,
Brenda
