Welcome to
planDisney, Sara!
Thanks so much for stopping by to chat about your winter escape to the
Most Magical Place on Earth. While I may not be much of a shopper in my everyday life, once I enter a Disney park, I'm like Ariel hunting for gadgets and gizmos aplenty. Let's explore how you can shop til you drop without making armfuls of bags part of your world.
Currently, there isn't a service for sending your purchases directly to your resort or the front of the park. You have two options if you prefer to travel hands-free through the parks. First, you can
rent a locker for the day and store items in it. Lockers are located just inside the entrances of all four theme parks.
EPCOT features two locker spots, one at each entrance. Since you're visiting in January when temperatures can fluctuate, having a locker is also handy for storing extra layers of clothes.
If you'd rather not trek back to the locker area with your purchases, you can also ship items home directly from the store where you bought them. At checkout, let the Cast Member know you'd like to send your merchandise all the way home. You'll complete a form, pay a small shipping fee, and be on your way, bag-free! I love mailing large items home. It's super convenient, and I don't have to allocate room in my luggage for souvenirs. Another bonus: getting "Mickey mail" at home is the perfect way to beat the post-vacation blues.
I hope this is helpful, Sara. Best wishes for an unforgettable adventure, and please reach out again if there's anything else we at planDisney can do to make it even more magical.
