Downtown Disney Compared To Theme Parks

[luv 2 plan]

1) Does stroller rental at DTD work the same way as at the theme parks? In other words, can we arrange rentals for our entire stay at that location, or is it completely separate from park rentals?

2) Can you have purchases at DTD stores delivered to your Disney resort as you can from the theme parks?

TIA for any info

I THINK it is no to both questions.

We are in Disneyworld right now. We are staying for the first time offsite and really enjoying the extra space and our own pool. In August we were at DW and stayed at POP and as long as you are staying onsite you are able to have packages sent back to the resort for you. It normally means that they don't arrive for a day or two at your resort so you want to make sure that you have plenty of time to recieve the packages. You also want to check you order right away. We were having some ornaments delivered from the Disney Christmas store and one of them wasn't done correctly so they had to call over there and get another one ordered for us. It is a really nice service when you are staying onsite. No packages to carry and it is free!!

Last at DTD in 2005, don't know about the strollers but yes you can have your purchases delivered to your resort. I agree with the previous post, make sure you have a few days left as sometimes it did take longer than one day.

Thanks for your help. We may try to get to the Hess station that I have read is walking distance from DTD to pick up extra drinks and snacks. It would be nice not to have to carry our Disney store purchases in addition. We won't have a car - Disney transportation only.

Hess is right across the street. I just found out when stopping by that they are also "Coke only" - I needed a bottle of water, and all they had was Dasani. Yiiiiiich!

You could bring a small suitcase with you to put your food items in - that might be easier than bags. Hess also has sandwiches, pizza and such (not bad for a small gas station!).

Thanks for the heads-up on the "Coke-only" issue. That was part of the reason we wanted to go there was thinking we might find pepsi products. DH and I are rather hooked on Diet Mountain Dew. I guess we'll have to find a different flavor for the week.
