Disney recommends that you do not include it for security reasons. Just include your name and the name of the resort. It will either get delivered to the front desk or the business shipping office, depending on the resort. You'll be able to pick it up there based on your name.

Just had our items delivered to our room here at Art of Animation. Everything went smoothly ordering through Walmart and just putting our name, no reservation number.

Thanks for updating this. Was worried about not fitting reservation number on the shipping but glad that it worked without it!

How did it go placing your order with Walmart? I'm about too, but I'm concerned b/c my arrival date and full name of the hotel aren't showing up in the address. It's like it's too long and the site cut off the last 5-8 characters.

Yes, that's what happened to me too. Our Walmart order arrived at Art of Animation with no problems.

Thank you for letting me know! I'll go ahead and order then

I placed my Walmart order 2 weeks before our arrival date.....now I have confirmation that part of my order has already been delivered and we don't arrive for 8 days. Do you think they will hold everything for me at POR? It does make you wonder how much space they have to hold stuff like that!

I didn't include my arrival date. Just put my name and the resort address. No problems at all!

Without reading the whole thread, how do you ship a suitcase, not a box of stuff? Do you have to put the suitcase in a box? Do something special to the suitcase in any way? You know how you cannot lock a suitcase when flying---they cut them off, even my special TSA special lock!!!
With ground shipping, anyone can go through my suitcase at any point.
I will be flying back, and want to just take suitcase back with me, not mess with trying to ship a box back, and waste valuable vacation time, not to mention I won't have a car.
Has anyone shipped a suitcase? UPS?

Incorrect - If you use a TSA approved lock, it will NOT be cut-off. They have master keys to open them. And you will have a note inside stating it was inspected. If you would have a lock cut off, you could file a claim.

To mail a suitcase, you can lock it and mail it. There's no reason you need to put it in a box. You will slap the mailing sticker on it however. But, depending on the weight, it might not be worth it.

Well not to argue with you su A ve, but I have had a special TSA approved lock cut off. I know they have keys and are supposed to use them, but they didn't in my case. I did not file a claim, but will not buy one again either.
They have also cut a lock off my daughters suitcase that wasn't even locked, just open. And yes, I have the inspection certificates inside. I think they don't even look at the lock, just cut it because they can and it is there.

Okkaaayy..

So I ordered some water and diapers last week to be shipped to AKV and they were separated into two shipments (expected that).

Anyways, just checked on the water, and it said it was delivered yesterday...in KISSIMMEE!? This is the address that I sent it to:

3701 Osceola Pkwy
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

Should I call AKV and confirm that my water is there? My diapers haven't been delivered yet, but as of now, they are in Orlando.

What would you do?

[Canadian Disney Mom]

We are arriving 12/25. I wanted to order some stuff at Disneystore.com and have it delivered to the resort (AKV). I ordered it 12/05 thinking it would take a few weeks to get there b/c of the holidays etc, but I just found out its scheduled to deliver on Tuesday 12/11.

So, my question is, will AKV hold my package until check in? Should I call the hotel? This is the shipping address I have on the parcel (along with my name of course):

HOLD FOR 12/25/2012 CHECK-IN
C/O ANIMAL KINGDOM VILLAS JAMBO
2901 OSCEOLA PKWY
ORLANDO, FL32830-8410

Thanks in advance

How safe is sending purchases to the hotel? I'm buying a somewhat expensive item and my plan is to have it shipped to POFQ and have it waiting for me when I arrive.
