Package Delivery

lisalovesmickey · 01-02-2008

The last time I was in WDW was Oct. '99. At that time they would deliver packages (stuff you bought in the parks) directly to your room.

I was reading the 2008 Passporter and it says that you can have your packages delivered "to your resort".

Am I reading too much into this or does this mean that they do not deliver it to the room? If not where do the packages go?

THey go to the resort gift shop. You pick them up there with your receipt.

Thanks so much!

Yes, they go right to your resort's gift shop. I love how the cast members in all the stores tell everyone this. It's really better than dragging all that stuff you buy around the parks. I have never personally used it, but that's only because I wait until I am done at the that park for the day to shop.

zefyr · 01-02-2008

Don't forget that you can't send your items back the day before you leave. After one bad experience at the Dolphin I don't send them back the two days before I go. You can also have the packages sent to the front of the park. Both services are convenient. You just have to remember that you sent your items to the front of the park when you leave. At MGM...oops, I mean Disney Hollywood Studios (would that make it DHS now?)...I remembered as I was in line for my bus back to Pop...had to go back through security to get the packages and then wait for the next bus!

The packages are delivered to the gift shop or the front of the park. Remember to go through the bag to make sure you got everything because last trip we were missing 2 things.

I guess this has already been answered but I willl just ditto the baove and say that yes, your purchases can indeed still be shipped to your resort hotel. They are given to the resort shop and you collect the goods from there after showing your gift receipts.
I soooooo can't wait to shop!

jenbarnwell · 01-02-2008

Its always worked out really well for us. Its so much better than lugging the stuff around the park all day.

**MissDisney** · 01-02-2008

Yeah, to the gift shop at the resort now... but way back when (1997 maybe? Ten years ago???), on one of our first trips, we came home at the end of the evening to Dixie Landings to find all our purchases on the bed in the room... they had even thrown in a couple of chocolate chip cookies for bedtime!

LynnA · 01-02-2008

We just got back on Monday, and we used the service quite a bit. I went to buy some things at Epcot in Italy and they told me they won't deliver food(the food I purchased was candy) to the resorts you have to take it with you. I was surprised, I didn't know that.

softychik · 01-02-2008

You have to go pick the packages up in the resort gift shop

Jen · 01-02-2008

When we used the service last Jan., we were told it would take 2 days for it to get to the resort. And it did. That's why they wouldn't do it the day before check-out. I wouldn't do it anywhere near the end as the CM at the POP told me it can and has taken longer than 2 days.

They must deliver via USPS, LOL....it takes 2 or more days to travel from Epcot to the Pop Century LOL

E&B's Mom · 01-03-2008

I was just going to mention what Jen did. I think they deliver it to the resort the following day, so if you're leaving that day or the next you are not guaranteed to get it.

Campbell87 · 01-03-2008

We always take advantage of this service when were at WDW, it makes it so much easier because you dont have to lug any bags around the parks all day with you. Especially when we end up buying tons of stuff or awkwardly sized things, just one less thing to worry about and we've never had any problems!

**MissDisney** · 01-03-2008

Is it super-expensive to have the stuff shipped directly to your home?
