Disneyland Merch quick shipping to Canada - anything quicker?

[KellifromCanada]

Hi!

Too late did I find out that there's a May the Fourth celebration at my daughter's high school. Was trying to get her a pair of R2D2 ears shipped quickly but the CM indicated shipping would be at least 10 business days and I only have 7. Any other ideas on where I could call for more speedy delivery?

Thanks!

Are you at all close to the border? You could have it shipped to a receiving company and cross the border to pick-up, granted they can ship faster within the US. It's all I can think of.
Good luck!

Sorry, I am from California, not Canada (but I do love Canadians, so I want to help!)---but the last time I was in DL they did have those ears in tomorrowland. I am a mom of 3 and know this can be a sticky situation--but here is what I would do. I would give the child some money to buy whatever ears or anything she wanted--and save the premium shipping. She will likely be happy with that scenario! Try it.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I just went ahead and ordered the ears today. Fingers crossed they arrive for "May the Fourth Be With You Day" at dd's high school. If they don't get here in time, the Milky Way will not collapse and lord knows, have spent $26 far more foolishly.

Cheers,

Kelli

Very happy to report that someone at Disney Parks Merchandise Guest Services is INCREDIBLY awesome because my daughter's R2D2 ears arrived on MONDAY -- (Florida to the Canadian Prairie) I gave them to her tonight because she couldn't stand the mystery of the surprise anymore. Anyway, they look absolutely adorable and she's excited to wear them tomorrow.

Yay!

Didn't even see the courier. When I came home, the box was on my porch. I could not believe it. Totally made me happy all week.

I was going to ask what the heck is a "May 4th" celebration. Then I read the R2D2 and went oh... "May the Fourth" be with you...

Hahah! I had no clue what it was either! Thought it was a Canadian thing!! Then I logged into facebook and one my friends wrote "May the 4th be with you" and I got it! It's my husband's birthday tomorrow (today for you east-coasters!) so he'll be happy to know his birthday is a "holiday" lol!
