Hi there, Madeline! Welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad to hear you will be building some time in for
souvenir shopping on your next trip to Walt Disney World! I mean, is it really a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth without a bag full of magical treasures to ease the sting of a vacation ending? However, it is not so magical to try to fit these items into already-full suitcases or overhead bins, so I feel your pain!
While I have never personally used the services myself, I have learned that many people ship souvenirs home and find it extremely convenient! This can be done from the front desk of your
Disney Resort Hotel or directly from most
Disney Retail locations on the property. Fees will vary depending on the number of items/amount spent, but usually are not much higher than you could expect to pay to ship items on your own! I recommend that you “batch” your shipments as well. Once the end of your vacation is drawing nearer, take your treasures to the Front Desk of your Resort Hotel along with the purchase receipts and ask that everything be shipped home together. Also, what could be more amazing than receiving magical mail in the first week home from vacation? It sounds like a win-win scenario to me!
Madeline, from one fellow shopper to another, I have to recommend that you pay a visit to
World of Disney at
Disney Springs! It is the epitome of Disney shopping locations and always has such an incredible array of items to thrill everyone! While you are there, I would also recommend a stop to
Disney’s Candy Cauldron for the yummiest fresh Disney treats and concoctions, often prepared while you wait!
I hope this information brings you peace of mind, knowing that you won’t have to sacrifice luggage space to indulge in some amazing souvenirs! Please know that we are here to help with any part of your vacation plans or dreams and would love to see you back here again soon!
Happy shopping!
