Well hello there, Phoebe! Welcome to planDisney, and thank you so much for being a longtime fan. Guests like you are what make sharing Disney tips and planning advice so much fun!
Your May visit to the
Disneyland Resort will be here before you know it, and I love that you are already thinking ahead about souvenirs. There really are so many things to choose from! I am especially drawn to the household items like kitchenware, pillows, and dishes. They are my favorite reminders of a magical day, but not always fun to carry around the park all day long.
The great news is yes, you can absolutely have your purchases shipped home from Disneyland! Disney owned retail stores throughout the resort offer domestic shipping for merchandise. The process is simple! Just let a Cast Member know at checkout that you would like your items mailed to your home. They will help you complete a shipping form and confirm your address. Shipping fees do apply and are typically based on the total value of the items being sent. There are many shops throughout both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park, and one of my favorite is the
Emporium, on Main Street, U.S.A. You can find a great mix of almost everything you would love to take home!
Another option if you didn't want to ship, or a shop you found the perfect item at doesn't provide shipping services, is to get a
locker and stash your goods throughout the day! You can grab everything as you leave to return to your vehicle or hotel and not have to carry everything all day long. There are lockers located in both theme parks, and the Esplanade between the two parks if you aren't sure which park you will end your day at.
I hope you find the perfect souvenirs to remember your visit. Even one day at the Happiest Place on Earth is enough to feel the magic and start dreaming about your next trip. I hope this helps you start with visit off confidently that you can shop 'till you drop, but not have worry about carrying your precious cargo around!
Please come back anytime if another question pops up as you plan your visit. I am always happy to help.
Warmest wishes for a truly magical day,
Kimberly
