Question about Disney Floral and Gifts

[ABCastillo]

So I guess I have two questions. I'm looking to have something delivered by Disney Floral and Gifts for the kids and started exploring options. For those of you that have used the service:

1. What's the earliest they can deliver to your room?
2. Under the "Custom Gift Builder" the Cinch Sack mentions including a gift card. (link here) Just curious how that works and what the amount might be?

Thanks everyone!!

I have a third question. lol

3. Do they notify you when the gift has been dropped off if you aren't in your room at the time?

By earliest do you mean time wise or day wise? I usually have our in-room surprises set for the 1st full day (day after check in) of our trip - that way if we need or want to change rooms for any reason it isn't a problem.
As for time, they give you a "by 8pm" time window and that's about it. The first time we did it our surprise was waiting for us by the time we got back for our mid day lunch break (poly, sept). The more recent time (Jan, POR) by the time we got back to the resort early evening it still wasn't there. You do not get a notification. The florist delivers them to the hotel and then from there the hotel puts it in your room. For some reason ours wasn't delivered even at 6pm though it had been at the resort since 3pm. I talked to the concierge and since it was a birthday surprise I didn't want my kids there when it arrived. Luckily we were heading to the pool so they ran it down and delivered it while we were swimming and it all worked out.

I have no idea about the gift card as we've never gone that route, sorry

Thank so much for the info. This does actually help with timing!
