Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kristen! Shopping for Disney Merchandise is one of my favorite hobbies, much to the chagrin of my own wallet! I’m constantly on the hunt for the new offerings, and reading the
Disney Parks Blog lets me know all about the must-have items!
When a guest uses
Merchandise Delivery or Package Pickup, it actually has to be done at the register at time of purchase. You won’t be able to use/carry around the item and then have it delivered. Merchandise Delivery sends the purchases straight to your Resort Gift Shop while Package Pickup sends the items to the front of the park for you to retrieve before you leave. If you want to purchase an autograph book or frame for the characters to sign, you’ll either have to carry it with you through the parks or store it in a
locker at the front entrance of the park. It may be easiest to do what I do; carry a lightweight backpack or crossbody purse through the parks to store it in. If the locker route is for you, All-Day-Access Lockers are available at Magic Kingdom (small size only). Both small and large lockers are available at Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom park. Single-use, coin-operated lockers are located near the bus information booths at Epcot and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well.
Please let me know if you need more help planning your magical vacation. You’ve got a friend in me! ~ Lindsey P.
