How to ship stuff home?

[kuzco-like]

I'm sure that many of you have been in my predicament: I've over shopped for the room in my suitcases. Is there somewhere on or near property where I can ship stuff home? To make it a bit more interesting, in shipping to Canada, and was therefore hoping to ship my own personal stuff (on which I won't pay duty), and take my purchases with me, which will qualify for my personal exemption when I re-enter the country.

The front desk concierge at the Disney Resorts can help you send a package by UPS or FedEx. If your resort has a convention center, there might be a Business Office- just as at the front desk.

I went prepared- and flattened a couple of boxes at home and put them in the bottom of my suitcase!! I also printed address labels at home. They all came in handy!
But, even without this- they will have boxes and will use a UPS/FedEx label for you.

My packages arrived 2 days after I got home.

This won't help you with shipping to Canada, but it might help others. When I cruise (or even when I'm at the parks and don't want to bring more than a carry-on), I bring a flat-rate box with pre-paid postage and use that to send my purchases home. With pre-paid flat-rate packaging, any front desk can send it out.

My husband and I actually pack up some dirty clothes 1/2 way through our trips and send them back. Not like we'll miss them if we're not planning on wearing them again during the trip!

You could could always bring or pick up an extra suitcase -we've done that before.
