Hi Chris!
Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel with your great question!
You will indeed receive some information prior to your Walt Disney World vacation.
Your package(s) from
Disney's Magical Express (if you're flying and have
requested this complimentary service) as well as from Walt Disney
Travel Co. (your accommodation package including park ticket vouchers
and Disney Dining Plan if applicable) usually arrive within 4-6 weeks of
your departure date.
With your mid-October vacation date in mind, you'll likely receive your package(s) around mid-September. Magical Express luggage stickers and vouchers usually arrive by courier while the Walt Disney Travel Co. package usually arrives by regular mail.
If you reach 14 days from your vacation and still haven't received your information packages, simply call 407-939-7675 to inquire.
If you have any other questions about your upcoming vacation, please write me back and I'll be happy to assist you!
Wishing you a simply Magical time at Walt Disney World!
Kirsten
