I am thinking about shipping my own pre package food item box to hotel. Ill send bottel water and capreeson juice boxes. I might send penut butter and jelly. I am sending from ny. Will they hold it for me at the all star movies. Do you think it will cost a bundell? :teacher:
 
Can't answer how much it would cost but I would guess that by the time you spent boxing it up and buying it plus the cost to ship, it would be much less hassle to just buy these items onsite at one of the stores in the gift shops or buy then at a store on the way in from the airport..smjj
 
I think there is a food delivery service. Not sure where I saw it but shipping heavy bottled water would be a bad plan. It would be cheaper to buy at the gift shop and that's not cheap.
 
I usually send a box ahead but I don't send bottled water--too heavy. I bought Brita Fill N Go bottles that filter the water as you drink last year. They worked great and made even Florida water drinkable.

Go to the UPS website to calculate shipping charges and delivery time from your area. I like to get my package there the day before we arrive. Be sure to put your conf. number on the package and send to yourself c/o resort. Works great! It usually costs me $10 or $15 to send.
 

I sent a package to myself in January with some food (pop, bottled water, crackers, some candy) and other items in it (toilet paper, nalgiene bottle, kleenex, etc). It worked great for me becuase I did not rent a car or hire a towncar...I took Mears. I would reccomend using UPS. I did UPS ground and it was $14.99 to send the package (it was 16lbs). I sent my package on Jan 13th and it was estimated to get to my resort on the 19th (my arrival date) it was not there when I arrived (I got there around 12:45pmish), but that night when I got back from the parks I had a message from the front desk and they brought the package to my room. Check out the UPS website to figure out how many days in advance to send your package. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them.

Here is the info I put on my package:
Guest Name
Resort Address
Hold for arrival on _________
Reservation number
 
I sent a package down the last time we were there. And for what I paid to mail it, I will use wegoshop this time around.
 
What about using Peapod? Does that work in Florida? It just seems like Wegoshop is almost the same thing...

Same here. Not worth the hassle and cost to mail. And a treat to just go straight to the resort, and not have to stop for groceries.

Same here. My package was 17.00 to mail. Not worth the hassle and cost to mail. And a treat to just go straight to the resort, and not have to stop for groceries.

The 15.00 is a bargain to me.
 
I got this info from mousepal, but I haven't tried it yet, so I am not sure it works. It is a grocery delivery service. You have to buy $50 in groceries, and there is a $10 fee, but that is cheaper than wegoshop. The link is http://shop.goodings.com/. Might be worth checking out.
