Hiya David,
Welcome back to planDisney. One of my favorite parts of planning a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation is dreaming about all the new and exciting merchandise and souvenir options I will be able to choose from. If you are like me, you already know to bring that extra "empty" suitcase that you will need to bring all your treasures home in. Don't tell my husband, but there may have been a few times that I had to buy another bag while at Disney World, as my one empty suitcase was not enough.
Unfortunately, both the
souvenir pick-up option (where Guests were able to pick up their purchases, near the front entrance of the theme park) and the
resort hotel delivery option (where purchases were delivered to your
Disney World Resorts Collection hotel for pickup) have been temporarily paused. You do still have the option to ship your purchases to your home for an additional fee. Another option is to "window shop" during the day and wait to make the actual purchases until you are leaving the park. However, if you are like me and worry that someone just might buy all 25 of that new Mickey Mouse baseball hat you love, you could store your purchases in a locker until you are ready to leave. You can find
locker rentals at the front entrance of each Disney World theme park and water park. They offer a few size options, a self service kiosk and for a minimal cost you can rent a locker that can be used throughout the day to store personal items and all those fun purchases.
I hope this helps with your shopping adventures. If I can help with any additional planning questions, please
stop back and see me.
Happy shopping,
Margaret
