    Was wondering if I am able to buy items at the stores and ship it to my home in Australia ? We are staying at AoA and hoping to not have to squeeze everything in our suitcases and risk it breaking. If it is an option roughly how much does it cost ?

    Hello there, Jessica! Welcome to planDisney, and thank you so much for stopping by with your question. I’m so excited you’re heading to Walt Disney World and staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, no less! You’re going to love every colorful, imaginative detail in your resort. It's one of my favorites!

    Now let’s talk shopping, and more importantly, how to get all those magical souvenirs home safely to Australia without overstuffing your suitcase! You’ll be happy to hear that yes, international shipping is available for merchandise purchased at the parks and resorts.

    If you find something special in the parks or Disney Springs that you’d rather not pack, just let a Cast Member know at the time of purchase, and they’ll walk you through the shipping process right there at the register. You can also request shipping assistance at select resort locations, including the front desk, concierge, or business centers available at certain hotels across property. While Art of Animation doesn’t have a full business center, the Cast Members at the front desk will be more than happy to help you explore your options!

    As for pricing, it depends on how much you’re shipping and the size of the package. International shipping definitely comes with a higher cost than domestic, and rates can vary depending on weight, dimensions, and final destination. Since these prices can change, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to ask a Cast Member at the time of purchase or at your resort once you arrive.

    Jessica, I hope this helps you shop with confidence and peace of mind. You absolutely deserve to bring home all the magic! If you have any other questions as your adventure approaches, I’m always here and so happy to help. Wishing you a trip filled with memories, treasures, and zero broken souvenirs!

    Warm hugs,

    Ana Paula
