Hello Michelle! Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you plan on finding the perfect Disney gifts while on vacation. Or, perhaps the perfect Disney souvenir to take home from your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Good news! Guests who purchase merchandise while shopping the Disney Parks have a few
options for getting their merchandise back to their Disney Resort Hotel, or even sending it directly to their home! These are great services as they make it possible for Guests to enjoy the parks without having to lug around all of the bags!
Option one is to have your merchandise stored for you at a location near the front of the park. You can pick-up your merchandise when exiting the park! To utilize this option, simply inform the Disney Cast Member (clerk or cashier) that you would like your merchandise available for pick-up later in the day or evening.
Another option is to have your merchandise sent to your Disney Resort Hotel! This is my favorite service! Simply inform the Cast Member that you would like your merchandise delivered to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. When you arrive back to your resort you'll find that your merchandise is safe and sound at your resort!
As another option, you can have your items shipped from the store to your home! While the first options I shared about are free for Guests, this option comes with a fee. If you want to use this option, notify the Disney Cast Member assisting you with your purchase.
One final thought is to treat yourself to a special "arrival home" gift. Leaving the Walt Disney World Resort is hard. I like to find something special at the Disney Parks that I send home as a way of looking forward to getting home. The "gift" is usually something that reminds me of a happy memory from the trip. To do this I visit
shopDisney.com and order the item to be shipped right to my house! A nice way to end any visit!
