Hi Tasha, and welcome back to planDisney. As someone who is obsessed with Disney merchandise, I definitely know what it’s like to want more than can fit in your luggage! Not to worry because Disney makes it super easy to get everything home safely.
The great news is, that most gift shops in the theme parks and
resort hotels can ship your purchases for you. This is the easiest, and usually the most cost-effective, way to get things home. If you plan to buy items throughout your trip, just save the receipts and you can ship everything together before you leave. I had to do this from my resort hotel’s gift shop when I started packing and realized everything wasn’t going to fit!
If you want to ship anything that wasn’t purchased at a Disney-owned store (like some of the shops at
Disney Springs), you’ll have to use a different service. Just head to one of the resort hotels with an onsite
Business Center, like the
Contemporary,
Grand Floridian,
Yacht Club, or
Coronado Springs, and they can take care of the shipping.
Before I go, I wanted to share one of my favorite time-saving shopping tips. Use
Merchandise Mobile Checkout through the
My Disney Experience app to bypass the regular checkout line. It’s available in select gift shops, like the
Emporium at Magic Kingdom and
Creations Shop in EPCOT, and can save you from a potentially long queue! If you’re planning to ship items from that location, you’ll want to skip Merchandise Mobile Checkout since a Cast Member needs to process the shipping.
I hope that you have a magical time at Disney World and get lots of amazing treasures to send home! If you have any other questions, we’d love to have you back at planDisney.
