Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Carol. I'm so glad you stopped by! Visiting the Walt Disney World Resort this October sounds lovely. You're sure to
Fall into Magic!
You'll love
Disney's Pop Century Resort. The larger-than-life nods to pop culture throughout the resort are so fun, and I really appreciate the spacious rooms (loads of storage space!). One of the
perks of staying at a Disney Resort hotel used to be that you could have your merchandise shipped from the theme parks back to your hotel. Unfortunately, that service is not available at this time and there's been no word on if or when it may return. As a mom of three, my hands are full enough without having to carry our shopping bags through the theme parks. For that reason, we usually wait to shop until we're about to leave the theme parks, either for a midday break or at the end of the night when the park is closing. That way, we do our shopping on our way out of the theme parks and take our purchases right back to our Disney Resort hotel room.
Did you know that
lockers are available at all four theme parks? Locker rentals are a great option for Guests who don't want to lug their shopping bags with them all day. You can keep your personal items in a locker too!
I hope this was helpful, Carol. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
