Hello there, Heidi!
I, too, miss the days of shopping at all of the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks and returning to my Disney Resorts Collection Hotel room to find all of my purchases from the day. Unfortunately, Resort Hotel
Delivery services are not offered, and it’s unclear if they will return. You never know; it’s worth watching the
Disney Parks Blog announcements to see if this changes at all in the future. This amenity was so convenient, and now I find myself being a bit more thrifty now that I need to carry my purchases around during the day.
My pro tips for not having to carry merchandise around all day are to 1) take advantage of the
locker rentals available at each of the four theme parks and 2) pack a reusable drawstring bag in your purse. These bags don’t take up much space in your purse and will come in handy when you need to carry any purchases.
If you are looking to get most of your shopping out of the way before you hit the Walt Disney World theme parks, I recommend visiting
Disney Springs on the first day of your vacation. Many of the stores carry items that you can find in the theme parks. I tend to do most of my shopping at Disney Springs so that I can spend more time going on attractions in the theme parks.
May the magic be with you!
Melanie
