Those who book through Disney

How long prior to your trip do you get your package of stuff from Disney?

I got mine about 2 and half weeks prior to the trip, and I had to pick it up from UPS because they wouldn't leave it without a signature.

Do they notify you that its been shipped?

They ship out approximately 21 days in advance. I don't believe they notify you, but you should be able to call and ask. If its been shipped they can usually give you the tracking number.

 

[woofdog]

will do! Thanks!

They ship it out a couple days after the last payment is due (even if you've long paid for it in full).

And it works the same for the companies who use WDTC, like Costco Travel and AAA.

I got no notice until the UPS driver called to say he would be there in a few hours. Ack! We were leaving the apartment for the day, but luckily the delay caused by having to sit and talk about what we were going to do was just enough time, and he showed up inside half an hour of calling.

wonder if I can change the shipping/mailing address. DH can sign for it at work, but short of knowing when it'll be delivered, there isnt usually anyone home during the day. hm. Maybe they'll delive after 3pm when I'm home from work

Good question to ask. Have you already paid it in full?

If they have an attempted delivery, you can call them and change the delivery.

In my area at least they have suddenly become VERY customer service oriented! The UPS place in the next town (10 minutes away) allows you to call that same day you get the notice (as long as you get the notice and call before 7pm) and come in that evening to pick it up! It's very cool.

Sure wasn't like that just a year ago; you had to get someone to call you to make such arrangements, but now it's all automatic when you call the number on the back of the slip.


But if you haven't paid and you CAN make the address change, I'd do it.

 

[woofdog]

oh its all paid for We dont leave until the end of January so I'll try to see if they can change the shipping address.

 

[bumbershoot]

Oh gosh I said that wrong. I'd even made the distinction of "paying for" vs "being at the time for final payment" before!

Since they aren't sending it out today, I imagine you have plenty of time.

 

[woofdog]

no worries. thanks for the help

Just call the WDTC and give them a different address. I called and changed it about a week ago when I realized someone would have to sign for it. They changed it right to my work address (after verifying it was me).

I can't wait to get it though. It means we are on final countdown....

That means then I should be getting a package any day now! Talk about exciting!!!!!
