Stamps at MCO?

[wendyk]

Is there a shop at MCO where a can buy stamps? DD has a bunch of friends to mail postcards to from Orlando and Key West. Do they sell stamps on the ship? Can you drop mail off at Guest Services on the ship?

Thanks,
Wendy

I'm sure you can find stamps at MCO, but why not wait until you hit Castaway Cay so she can have the special Bahamas stamp (55¢) and the ultra special Castaway Cay postmark!!!!

Wendy,
Want me to check tomorrow, I'm sure there is...probably one of those magazine shops...sending from one of the Islands is pretty neat, though!
Packing NOW!

There is an actual post office in the airport. It was in the one of the corridors leading to the Hyatt hotel near the hair salon and the Body Shop, I think!

I noticed last week in Nassau that some shops selling postcards also had stamps available behind the counter for them. Others did not.

We actually walked way up the hill in back of the shopping district to the local post office.

yes, mcnuss is correct, there is a place not too far from the Hyatt that sells stamps from a vending machine, and has a drop off for us mail.

There are US Postal Service vending machines available 24 hours per day on South Walk on level 3 of the main terminal building at MCO. Because these are Postal Service vending machines, you pay the amount shown on the stamps instead of a premium price that post card sellers often charge.

MCO had an excellent official Web site at http://www.orlandoairports.net/goaa/

According to the US Postal Service Web site, postcards (Maximum size: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high) to Canada are 50 cents and within the United tates are 23 cents.

I would mail the postcards from Key West. I'm sure it will be easy to find a mailbox near the dock.
