Hiya Juni,
Welcome back to planDisney! As a close personal friend of Santa's, I'm thrilled to answer your question. His gifts must arrive on time for your Mouseketeers.
The great news, Juni, is that with
Mail Services, you can have Santa's gifts sent up to one week ahead of your check-in date at
Port Orleans Riverside. I've had packages delivered to me before, and it's easy to do as long as you address the package correctly. To ensure the delivery arrives and is waiting for you, please address your package to the lead Guest on your reservation (and include the word 'GUEST' before their name). Also include the name of the resort, "Disney's Port Orleans—Riverside," and the full address "1251 Riverside Drive, Lake Buena Vista, Florida, 32830-8514." If there is space, also include your arrival date, if possible, so that the Cast Members can more easily match your package to your reservation. When the package arrives at the resort, it will be held for you at the Front Desk or
Bell Services. Your resort hotel room will also be charged a handling fee per package. The price is subject to change, but when I did it in May, it was less than $10 per package.
I hope this was helpful, Juni. Before I let you go, if you haven't already, check out the
Disney Parks Blog's preview of this year's holiday celebrations. There are numerous festive activities happening during your visit, including the opportunity to meet Santa at Disney Springs. I know you will have the most magical vacation with your family. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
