Hi there, Linda, and welcome to planDisney.
I am always excited to answer a question from a fellow Ohioan who is getting ready to make their way to The Most Magical Place on Earth! I just recently returned home from a trip, and I saw quite a few visitors from Ohio proudly wearing their National Championship shirts. I heard a lot of "O-H" and "I-O"s in the parks!
I'm not sure if you plan to visit Magic Kingdom, enjoy a relaxing pool day at a Resort hotel, or arrange something special from the
Enchanting Extras Collection. Regardless of your plans, it sounds like you might do some shopping! So, let's "checkout" your options.
Whether shopping for shoes like Cinderella, looking for the perfect outfit like Edna Mode, or searching for the ideal toy like Al from Al's Toy Barn, you'll likely find your new treasure in one of the shops throughout Walt Disney World Resort. The answer to your question is yes; each theme park offers small and large lockers for rent, with larger jumbo-sized lockers available at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT to hold your souvenirs and packages. I'm including the link
HERE for locker information so you can find details on pricing, payment options, and the exact measurements of the lockers. Please note that rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Linda, if you don't want to carry your packages around or worry about packing them for your trip home, you have another option. Especially if, like me, you're considering buying a GIANT stuffed Stitch that won't fit in a carry-on bag. (shhhh... don't tell my granddaughter) Simply ask a Cast Member at checkout about the option to ship your items home, and they can assist you with that. Additionally, if you plan to do a lot of shopping, remember to save your receipts. At the end of your shopping day, a Cast Member at any of the Walt Disney World gift shops can help you consolidate your purchases into one shipping label. Shipping costs vary in weight and size, and the Cast Member will help you with this.
I have one final magical shopping tip for you: make sure to download the My Disney Experience app. This app includes a
Merchandise Mobile Checkout feature that allows you to scan and purchase items from your phone at participating shops if you prefer. Personally, I enjoy talking to the lovely Cast Members in the shops, but my husband LOVES the convenience of this service.
I'm so happy you stopped by planDisney with your question. We are here to answer any of your questions, so please reach out again as you plan your vacation! We love being the extra magical help to make your vacation memorable!
Ps. The GIANT Stitch can be found in Magic Kingdom and
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort!
Enjoy the magic!
