Hello Everyone doing my first solo trip next year and its been a while since I have been and was wondering since the shutdown and Disney opening again are they still allowing guests to ship before your trip I will be going for 12 days and would like to send myself down some larger items as shampoo etc.

Yes. We shipped to OKW just this past June. Used FedEx. With no problem! 12 days! Good for you!

I used shipgo last year and it was about $100 for a suitcase and no complaints other than price. This year I bought the usps boxes that you fill up regardless of weight. I was able to pack them at home and keep a list of what went in them. I shipped to my resort and they were waiting for me.

We did buy Owner's Locker and it arrived empty at our resort, so I was able to store all the things I shipped. Regardless, shipping saves valuable space, less worry with carry on items and you don't have to run around to ten different stores to get what you want. Make sure you put your name on the shipping label along with "guest".

Enjoy!

Sorry to bump an old thread but I thought it better than to start a new one. On the shipping front, how does Disney still handle amazon/other packages being shipped to the resorts? Is this still allowed?

Was looking to buy something and would prefer to avoid the almost 100 dollars in UPS handling charges and duties.

Yes! We had several things sent from Amazon during our trip in July. No problem at all! You pick deliveries up from Bell Services at your resort.
Just make sure to put your reservation number (or room number if you are already there). This is an example of how I put in the address for shipping:

Your Name - Guest - Disney's Beach Club Villas
1800 Epcot Resorts Blvd
Beach Club Villas - RM 129 (or res #)
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

Make sure you check the address of the resort. It seems like most are Lake Buena Vista, but some may be Bay Lake.

Hi all! I just signed up for the Owners Locker service. I will be staying at Pop with my college roomie on a rescheduled gal pal trip a la Hurricane Ian; we will arrive January 18, 2023. My family will then take our welcome home DVC trip at the end of March at VGF. I plan to have my owners locker delivered to Pop so that I can put things in it in preparation for the March trip. I would like to ship things from my home like our small Keurig, a small water kettle, and various small stuff (scotch tape, scissors, Keurig pods, etc etc) to Pop. I have a couple of questions:

1. Using the formula from @DaniPoppins above, I would address my box like this?
MY NAME-Disney's Pop Century Resort
Pop Century-Reservation # _____ Dates of Reservation: January 18-23, 2023
1050 Century Drive
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

I just googled Pop's address, so I hope this is the correct one? If it's not, please correct me.

2. How early can I send my box? In other words, how long will WDW hold my package before I arrive? I am STILL waiting for two Christmas gifts that I ordered on December 3, 2022, so I'm so leery of how long things take to get from point A to point B. I will use UPS unless Disfolks recommend another carrier, and I live in the midwest.

3. Is there anything else I'm not thinking of regarding shipping a box of stuff from my house? I plan on getting a Shipt delivery delivered to VGF when we arrive in March, but I wanted to ship somethings from home, so I didn't have to lug them on the plane for my January trip. I'm trying to go carry on only in January, as I'm flying Delta.

Thanks all!
