Paul, it's great to see you here at planDisney with your questions for your upcoming trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Like you, I loved the option to have my park purchases "automagically" transported to my resort. Unfortunately, this service has not returned. I wish I could say it curbed my shopping habits, but there is something magical about souvenirs at Disney. I was there earlier this week and ended up in the Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A. asking myself, "Do I really need this jacket?" I did not need a new jacket, but I absolutely needed that jacket. It is cute, warm, and soft, and it surrounds me with reminders of my recent trip.
While delivery to your resort is not currently offered, there are options should you want to store your purchases. Each park has
locker rentals available. Small and large lockers are available in all parks, and Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT have jumbo lockers.
You can also ask to have an item you are purchasing to be shipped home from stores within
Walt Disney World Resort. An amazing Cast Member at
the Lego Store at Disney Springs told me they ship from their store when I was wondering how to get a Lego set home. It was perfect because it would not have fit in our luggage. If you have collected whosits and whatsits galore as you explored all the worlds, a resort with a business center can help get your thingamabobs
shipped to your house. Business Centers are located at
Disney's Contemporary Resort and
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
Thinking of the old becoming new again, did you hear
all-day park hopping is back! I know, it may only lead to more shopping, but this has me feeling like Peter Pan, "And away we go!"
If you have any additional questions as you are planning your trip,
planDisney is here for you!
Cheers,
Jana
