per other wonderful experienced DISers, Disney will not send foodstuff (including bottles of wine) to your room from the park. at most they will send it to the front of the park for you to pick up (hopefully that includes International Gateway also). per the CM I spoke to this morning, she can't speak for the Festival Center workers if they will hold the swag bag with wine bottle for you there since that will cause a serious pile-up of swag bags. she said there are lockers for rental that you can keep you swag bags in all day (one MORE thing I have to pay for????). I think because the packages are no longer tied to a room reservation (which satisfied the disgruntled AP holders who couldn't get PP last year), the pick up must be at the park but no one in Disney considered premium package users will have to each drag around a bottle of wine & wine glass all day. I tried to explain this to the CM and she stuck with her "pay for a locker rental" solution. what a bummer. i'm not regretting purchasing the package, i'm disappointed at Disney's short-sightedness in planning this "Premium" experience to be seamless for all.
to add to seamless-ness, will there be somewhere in the Festival Center where you can activate your EF&WF magic band & load it with money to start making your food purchases? i'm sure when everything went to your room, you could do all of that at the hotel before heading to the park. now that the bag will only be available AT the park on the FIRST DAY of use (absolutely no early pick up per every CM I spoke to so far), I hope Disney has that all set up. am I too much of a dreamer???
