How do I mail a package to ourselves at Resort?

[HookedOnDiz]

I know its possible to mail a package to yourself while staying at a Disney resort, but how do you address the package? We are staying at CBR - is there a specific address for that resort? How many days before our arrival should we mail it?

I mainly want to do this for some of the baby's things that are bulky and would take up a lot of room in a suitcase.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I noticed a few weeks ago on the official Disney website that they no longer include the resort addresses on the home page for each resort. They may be somewhere else, but I wasn't looking for them so I didn't pay any attention!

Each resort has its own address and telephone number. At the very least you will need the following information on the label:

Your name, confirmation # & arrival date
Resort name
Resort address
Resort telephone number.

I suggest contacting your resort in advance to find out what they recommend. Remember, too, that some resorts charge a handling fee for receiving the package and delivering it to your room (plus a tip!). I know the Yacht Club charged a handling fee in August, 2003, but I don't think Coronado Springs did in December, 2003. Of course, the YC package was much bulkier and heavier; the one I shipped to CSR only was about 5 lbs.!

I shipped my packages about two weeks before our arrival dates, as they were going across country. Of course, these are the two times the packages arrived in record time and they had difficulty locating them! But they did find them, which made our visit much more comfortable!

Very easy to do. First, go to www.allearsnet.com, look up your resort and find the mailing address. It will be under the facts section for your resort. The site also tells you how to address your package. Put it to your attention, include date of arrival and res. #.

Next go to UPS.com and calculate the length of time it will take to ship from your area.

I like to ship so that our package arrives just before we do. I doubt the resort wants it hanging around long.

Good luck and enjoy!
