Hiya, Michael, and welcome to planDisney! When I read your question, I smiled because it brought back memories of a
Walt Disney World Resort trip I took for my birthday a few years ago. We had a group of ten ladies from age 16 to 80, and I ordered matching hot-pink shirts for us. We had so many comments from guests and Cast Members that it made the day extra special. Your family is in for a treat! Let's look at some ways to get those shirts to you.
When I arranged for my shirts to be delivered, the company who designed them was local to Orlando. They brought them to the front desk at my Disney Resort Hotel, and I picked them up when I checked in. So that is one option for you. If your shirts are being mailed, you can use the address on the website for
Disney's All-Star Music Resort, and the front desk will keep them safe and sound until you arrive. I've found that Cast Members love to be in on pixie-dusted surprises, so you could slyly ask the front desk to bring out the shirts with some fanfare. What a great photo opportunity to capture your family as they open the shirts in the lobby!
As for having the shirts delivered to your room, I talked with a magical Cast Member who had a couple of suggestions. First, he cautioned that room delivery couldn't be guaranteed, but he said it's always worth asking. One option is to ask at check-in if the shirts can be delivered to your room. If a Cast Member is available, I'm sure they would be glad to. Another idea is to call the resort before you arrive to see if you can make any special arrangements. The Cast Member I spoke to said to call (407) 824-2222 and explain what you have in mind. I'm waving my magic wand so that you'll make the perfect plan!
Michael, the photos from my hot-pink shirt visit are some of my most treasured, and I wish we had taken more. My tip is to purchase
Memory Maker for your trip because it will give you unlimited digital downloads of all photos taken by
Disney PhotoPass photographers. A bonus tip is to buy it at least three days before your first use for a discount. Those shirts are going to make your family the stars of the show!
Thanks again for stopping by, Michael. I've enjoyed reminiscing about my birthday trip. I think it's time for me to plan another! Please feel free to
come back by planDisney anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
