shipping items to hotel early

[bedillamouse]

I remember seeing some comments on people who have shipped a box of things to their hotel so that it would be there when they arrived. I can't find the info on it. We are staying at POFQ and with little ones (one in diapers) I am thinking that shipping a box of needed items would be easier than trying to stuff everything in our bags and go through the airport with them. Has anyone done this? If yes how? what's the best way to do this? any suggestions or helpful hints? And how did you ship the box back home? Does the front desk allow you to UPS or FedEx boxes from them back to your home??
TIA

I have shipped a box directly to the hotel with our names and check in dates on it. I haven't sent boxes back home (I had just packed items we would use up during our stay diapers, wipes, etc.), But I have seen many posts by people who have taken boxes to the front desk to mail back home.

Another alternative is to use WeGoShop or www.gardengrocer.com and have what you need delivered to your room. The delivery fee make be less that what shipping would cost and you could have cold items like milk delivered to keep in your room fridge. That's what we do now, although I'm considering shipping a box this trip with toiletries, etc. so I don't have to mess with the TSA stuff.

Thank you! That helps a lot. I was thinking the same thing of not having to mess with the TSA and all of the extras that I've learned from the Disboards. Just thought if I could ship something and keep our baggage to a minimum since we'll have 2 car seats, a stroller and our luggage...anything we can do to keep luggage as simple as possible I'm all for.
