I saw the one about shipping and recently found out this had been changed.
Now, if you ship direct from the stores, they total your purchases and base the charge on the amount spent. I ordered something from Art of Disney for Xmas and for a $70 purchase, shipping was $14.95. In Sept, we bought the same item (character sketch) and shipped that and a whole box of other stuff from the BW conference center, and the total charge was only 22.00.
So, it might be a better idea if you plan on shipping things to take everything to the BW or one of the other business centers, I think CSR and the CR have them, too. The only downside to this is you choose the carrier, we used UPS. If anything is broken, you have to take up the claim with the CARRIER, not Disney, as you would if they shipped it direct.
The Business center will pack it up and ship it and they did a great job for us and we plan on using them again when we go in Feb!
