I copied this down from one of my other favorite Disney Sites (
www.wdwig.com)...
It has happened to nearly every on of us. You see an item for sale in one of the shops in a theme park that you like but you decide to wait before you purchase it. One thing leads to another and before you know it, you are back home without having bought that item. Oh if there were only a way to still get it.
There is. Disney's merchandising division operates the very efficient Walt Disney World Mail Order department for just such contingencies.
I have found in my dealings with them that the CM's who staff the Mail Order department are very diligent and thorough in trying to find that special something that you are looking for.
To set the search wheels in motion, contact Mail Order at:
Telephone: 407-363-6200
Fax: 407-352-6369
Email:
wdw.mail.order@disneyworld.com
Tell them as much detail about the item as you can remember. Important things are where you saw it (what park or even better which shop), as detailed a description as possible including the price if you remember it, and the size and/or color of what you are looking for. They will search their database of thousands of merchandise items to try to locate what you seek.
Most times they can come up with a match. They will tell you the SKU number of the item (this is the unique computer coded number assigned to every item that Disney sells) and the cost of the item. Merchandise purchased through the Mail Order department sells at exactly the same retail price as it does in the parks. You will however be charged a shipping cost to have the item sent to you.
Domestic shipping charges to addresses in the continental U.S. as of August 2002 are:

Delivery dates assume merchandise is in stock at the time of order.
