You’re as welcome as can be at planDisney, Rebecca!
I’m delighted you stopped by with your question for us.
One of my favorite parts about my Walt Disney World Resort vacation is staying at a
Disney Resort hotel. Thanks to the incredible and legendary storytelling, which is unique at each Disney hotel, along with the proximity to the theme parks and the excellent care from the Cast Members, there’s nowhere else my family would rather be! So I’m excited to hear you’re staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel!
Rebecca, although I loved the resort package delivery where Guests could have their theme park purchases delivered to their Disney Resort hotels, the service is still not being offered. However, as someone who absolutely LOVES Disney merchandise, I’m happy to make a couple of suggestions that help me not have to carry all the souvenirs around the parks!
Many of the Walt Disney World Resort stores will ship your purchases directly to your home for a nominal fee. It’s so exciting when your souvenirs arrive once you’re home! It definitely helps beat the post-Disney vacation blues. If you plan on doing this after you’ve purchased a few things in different shops to send together, please keep each receipt, as the Cast Member will need to make copies of each to ship your package.
Another helpful tip would be to
rent a locker for the day and store your purchases there so you do not have to carry all your purchases around the theme parks. Locker rentals are available at each Walt Disney World theme park and water park. In addition, they’re keyless, making it a lot more convenient not to have to worry about losing a key.
I hope you’ll take advantage of the
Early Theme Park Entry, as Guests of Disney Resort hotels can enter any of the four theme parks 30 minutes before the official opening. Isn’t that awesome?! My family focuses on experiencing two or three of our favorite attractions during this time as the crowds are lower.
Wishing you an enchanting visit, Rebecca!
