Booking package to Canada

[Coparm]

DD8 and I arrive at the World on Jan 29th.

I booked back on Nov 10th for POR and paid the balance at the 45 day point. I have since upgraded (this week) to the YC but have only received my Magic Express package, which came back in December.

When I upgraded I questioned the CM that I hadn't received the package yet with our commemorative luggage tags and vouchers and would they send new ones now we're going to the YC.

She told me as we're in Canada, that they don't send them and that I would get them on check in.

Is this true?

Seems a bit pointless getting luggage tags if you don't have them before you travel! Last time I booked through CAA so everything went to my agent, this is my first time booking directly with Disney.

Magic Express were great, they just explained how I should manually amend my ME luggage labels and told me they had all the correct info for our change in resort.

I have always gotten them when I book a package, and only once did we book through AAA.

And we usually get new ME tags sent as well, sometimes they are over-nighted and not at my request.

And it should be other things as well like the vouchers, or did they send those?

 

[SabbyR]

We have always gotten ours at about a month out.

All I've received is the ME info with the transportation vouchers and Luggage Tags. I've had nothing in respect to the actual vacation/Resort booking. The ME stuff came by Purolator.

The CM said they didn't mail to Canada after initially saying it could be delayed in the Christmas mail. So don't think she really knew either way!

Watch me get home today and it'll be sitting in our mailbox!!! haha

Let us know if you do get them or not. We have only gotten the ME envelope also and had heard rumours (but nothing substantiated) that they don't send to Canada anymore. I was soooo looking forward to the Mickey Mail and will be very disappointed if we don't get it!

Will do, we're 18 days today till we arrive and I was so looking forward to getting the package in the mail, so I could get DD even more excited than she already is!! The CM did say if I didn't get it, the vouchers would be given to me on check in. But again ,whats the point of the special Luggage tags when you've already checked in?!

 

[minnie mum]

If you don't get your Mickey mail, don't sweat it. Since you only upgraded last week, Disney probably wouldn't send out the new vouchers, since they probably wouldn't guarantee their timely arrival (international mail and all that) They won't Fed Ex outside the US.

You can manage your luggage quite well without the special luggage tags. If you don't already have your own luggage tags that came with your bags, you can pick up free ones at the airline check in counter.

You will get your package at the resort check in counter, with all of the necessary vouchers and coupons. And the special luggage tags. Which you can use for the return trip and for any other trips you take in the future.

Just remember to print off all of the email correspondence that you have regarding the trip, including confirmation numbers and the invoice showing that the package is paid in full. You'll need to present this at check in, in lieu of the voucher.

Thanks Minnie Mum,

I just really thought I'd have received it with the POR info already, as I only upgraded this last Monday evening and din't expect anything for YC.

I know the lugagge tags are not a big thing, guess I just want as many Disney things as possible! haha

If they don't send the full package to Canada anymore I don't understand why they wouldn't include it with the Magical Express paperwork. We got that one delivered a couple of weeks ago by FedEx.

I know that we will get everything when we check in, but it is just such fun to get it delivered before you go.

I do remember reading a recent thread where a poster stated that they will soon be combining the Mickey mail with the ME mail. We have historically received them within a few days of each other, around the 3 week mark. Will be interesting to see if this comes to pass.

Since I am from Toronto here is my experience. A couple of years ago when my family and I reserved the 4/3 package deal we got our resort package information mailed directly to our house, so the Cast Member who said they don't mail that stuff to Canada is wrong.

I agree. This was also our experience in September. And I haven't heard of a change in policy re: mailing to Canada either. Heaven knows we get enough Disney advertising mailers!!

 

[Coparm]

Well I received their invoice today, dated Dec 19th, so I'm wondering if it's just very delayed mail from the holiday season?

 

[minnie mum]

Ah, Canada Post. Bless 'em.

 

[Sue M]

If they stopped mailing to Canada it would be a pretty new thing. We were there in Aug.
I'm not getting a WDW Pkg this trip because I booked room only, so just got my DME. 6 more days

 

[Coparm]

Ah, Canada Post. Bless 'em.

Exactly, thats what I'm hoping it is!

DD is checking the mail everyday looking for something and I don't want her to be disappointed. At the end of the day it is only the package and if it doesn't arrive we'll get everything when we check in. We're going to Disney and thats the important thing!

 

[Coparm]

Well guess what I received in the mail today?

It's still for POR but that's ok and it's sent from the Canadian Distribution Centre in Richmond Hill ON. So the not mailing to Canada is a lot of Nonsense.

So after all that it was our marvelous postal system here in Canada!

 

[Muddypaws]

Well guess what I received in the mail today?

Yeah!! Is it feeling real now??

 

[Coparm]

Yeah!! Is it feeling real now??

Oh yes

Hope your package arrives soon.

 

[minnie mum]

Glad to hear you finally got Mickey Mail!! I'll bet you heaved a huge sigh of relief. Have a wonderful trip.
