Sending stuff to resort

[KEK1]

This is a big long-shot. Does anyone know if I can send something I bought off amazon (3D disney puzzle), to the resort? It is currently in LA and shipping is horrendous to Australia. We will be in 3 different resorts and not sure how long shipping will take, would they accept a package addressed to a guest that has not yet checked in, if I ring and advise 1st?
Thanks for any thoughts!

No point calling. You won't get the resort. How long between package delivery and your arrival? See the pinned thread that addresses shipping https://www.disboards.com/threads/shipping-to-and-from-disney-resorts-faq-new.3435904/

It can be posted whenever, was going to give it a week to get from LA to FL (?) ..maybe a couple of days.. sounding a bit hard, I know.
Thanks for thread, will go and have a read
- thread was fab, looks like it can be done as long as they are not holding for more than 1w. Great!

Yes, you can have it sent to the resort. I’d have it sent out 7-10 days before arrival. I did it last month and entered the address like this:
My Name
Guest Arrival 11/20/18
Resort Name
address
City, state zip code


I’ll add that I did this with some hesitation as last year I sent a box that got lost at the resort. It was eventually found, but as it had food and other supplies we needed, it was useless to us by that point. I had needed to purchase again everything that was in the missing box. What I ordered from Amazon last month, though, wasn’t something that was necessary. It was a surprise for my daughter, and I figured if the package got lost, she wouldn’t even know the difference. Luckily it was just fine, and the package was waiting in our room when we arrived.

Thanks! I would hate to have it get lost as it also contains a dog DNA test, but hopefully it will be ok, and I dont need it for our stay.

You can ship to resort. We've done several times and never had any issues.
