Hi Nichole,
Receiving mail from Disney World makes for the best day ever, especially when it is about an upcoming trip! Disney World still sends a welcome packet that includes luggage tags and your
Magical Extras to eligible guests. Your eligibility will depend on how you booked your upcoming vacation.
As of right now, these welcome packages are only sent to Guests who purchase a
Walt Disney World Vacation Package. This will typically include accommodations at a Disney Resort hotel, theme park tickets, and sometimes flights. Packages booked through a travel agent, booked within 10 days of arrival, or booked as a Room-Only reservation are not eligible to receive this welcome packet. If you are eligible, this package typically ships about two weeks before you are expected to arrive. Don't worry if you don't receive the package in the mail and were expecting it, you can stop by the front desk at your hotel and pick up your luggage tags and Magical Extras upon arrival.
If you booked a Room-Only reservation, you won't receive the welcome packet but you will still be able to access
several benefits of staying at a Disney Resort hotel. My favorite is access to Disney World transportation. This will take you anywhere you want to go on Disney property and is included with your Resort hotel stay! Another great benefit of staying at a Disney Resort hotel is getting access to
Early Theme Park Entry!
My family loves to take advantage of the Magical Extras when we book a vacation package by spending a day hanging out around Disney's Boardwalk. Use your 10% discount to rent a
Surrey Bike and explore the people-watching, shops, and restaurants at Disney's Boardwalk. After some peddling, you can use your vouchers for a free round of mini golf at
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
