WDW and USPS???

[Minnesota]

Hey all, I have a rather bizzare question for you all. I have found a spray sunscreen that I LOVE but it only comes in a 5oz size. I know I cannot take this on a plane but was hoping to have it with me for our first day in the parks (we're using DME so checked luggage won't be with us until later). I know some here have mailed things to the resort a week or so ahead of check in but doesn't the US postal service have restrictions on mailing? My other option is to buy it there but I know it would be WAY more expensive there, not just because it's WDW but because I work in a pharmacy and can order it for cost as an employee. Any other suggestions on how to have this with me?
Thanks,
Minnesota

i'm not aware of any such restriction on sunscreen by the USPS? and clearly any other carrier can ship it as well.

You CAN take this on a plane, just not in carry on. Liquds and gels of any size may be packed in checked luggage.

Hi! When I went to WDW in December, I mailed a package to my resort. I mailed it by Priority Mail USPS,but it still took longer than they promised. The CM at OKW said that UPS is the better choice to get things there on time. You can use the USPS, I would just give an extra day or two. Hope this helps!

put it in a 4 oz bottle in a ziploc bag and you can carry it on

that would be a 3 oz bottle, but as it's a spray, i'm not sure it's possible.

We are going to typhoon lagoon first day there right off the plane and I had the same dilema... We are going to use one of the small bags we would not normally need and use it to carry the suntan lotion and extra stuff we might need for the first day that cannot be taken on with carry on( we will check it). We will not put a ME luggage tag on it so that way when we get to MCO we can go to baggage claim get that bag and take it with us to the hotel having our suntan lotion right with us.
