For a WDW trip you need the biggest bag you have with you and leave it half full on the vouyage there. Why? Cause you are likely to pick up bulky things that are expencive to ship home rather than carry in the checked in baggage. Things like dolls, cos play costumes, souvernirs and lightsabers could come with a huge cost to sent home internationally. Its far more conveint to keep an extra bagspace for them. Johan.

I'm not even international and I always bring an extra bag flattened in the bottom of our one free checked bag. My husband and I generally share a carry-on (swimsuits, change of clothes, & electronics/chargers plus snacks) so if we overdo it on souvenirs or I just can't be bothered to as neatly pack the suitcase with dirty clothes as I did clean, then I can use the flattened carry-on. That said, if you can wash your clothes before you leave, its so much nicer when returning home! And you don't feel defeated by trying to pack dirty clothes efficiently that you're just going to have to unfold and wash when you get home.

As someone who works for Shipt grocery delivery in the Orlando area, I'd like to put in one thing here for our alcohol delivery - the Orlando area has alcohol delivery as one of it's test areas (as of 02/02/20), and this includes getting them to the Disney resorts. We are required by the company to get a signature of the user on delivery, as well as seeing a valid ID that proves over 21. If you are not a US resident, then a Passport works (though you might need to show some shoppers where it is in there, as not everyone is familiar with what passports look like in the US). Ultimately the app requires us to get it, and it is known that we can/will be dropped by Shipt, and possibly prosecuted under the law, if we're found not getting the proper ID and signatures for delivery, or are knowingly delivering to someone under 21. If you let the shopper know ahead of time you might not be able to pick up the alcohol yourself, let them know who to look for - however, no matter who recieves the delivery, they must be over 21 and have their own ID with them. No having a child with the parent's ID in their hands, that will not fly. If the person trying to recieve the delivery cannot prove they themselves are over 21 then the driver is to return the alcohol to the store, and the user will still be charged the purchase price. Basically, if you use it, just follow the law. Don't be stupid and try to be slick.

Pick out what you want, set a pick up time, they'll bring everything out and load it into the car, done. Don't have to get out of the car and there isn't an extra fee from Walmart so it wouldn't even take 1-2 hours. They open pick up slots well in advance too.

Also possibly available at the pools: those foam noodles. Last fall at the Boardwalk's quiet pool, they had plenty of those noodles available poolside for any who wished to take advantage. Don't know about the main pool - it is much busier and too many of those noodles could take up too much space in heavily populated areas of the pool, so they may only be available at the quiet pools. It was a nice touch, though, along with plenty of complimentary beach towels poolside as well - no need to carry anything but a book and sunglasses to the pool (sunscreen already applied, of course!).

@@kellykiefer3683 At minimum I bring a fanny pack to have my phone, backup battery, ID, hand sanitizer, and tissues.. but that's if there is 0% chance of rain and it's not terribly hot. I find it easier to carry around a reusable water bottle than going to get a cup of water at a quick service place constantly when it's hot

Tip for those not from the US: when you’re buying alcohol the cast member will usually ask for both your driving license and a photo of your passport as they don’t accept a license by itself (I’m from the UK), so make sure you have a photo of your passport on your phone as well!!

I flew to Minnesota in winter from a warmer climate and sent everything (heavy boots, sweaters, etc.) U.S.MAIL in their regular boxes !! Again, as A.J. said: ARRIVAL DATE ON OUTSIDE OF BOX. Then email/call hotel and they will enter info on computer. ( Hikers on major trails send boxes ahead via U.S.Mail all the time.). On the way back home, I visited nearest Post Office (had rental car, but Uber works) and mailed winter items (and dirty clothes) back. This way boxes remained at home Post Office (slip was in my mailbox) till I returned and I only had carry on!!

Be careful ordering from Amazon. Disney now charges per package to get items at the resort and Amazon often sends things in different packages.
@jessicaw98014 жыл бұрын
TheLauren1113 Yes, I was really disappointed in my experience with Amazon Now. I ordered groceries, it took them way longer than the two hour window they gave me, and they only brought a couple of the items and charged me the full amount. I was able to easily get a refund but it was a very disappointing experience all around.

I will say as a cast member that you won’t have access to packages 24 hours a day because if it is sent to a business center, those usually close around 5pm. A lot of the time packages will be automatically sent to business centers even if they have your name and arrival date on it.

Me and the family started packing our own resuable straws and silverware 3 years ago, when disney switch to paper straw , I didnt even realise hahahha 🤣 I do now though with all the people complaining. I'm so proud of disney and the efforts they make! It's really not the big a deal to simply 1) use ur mouth and not a straw or 2) pack your own straw!

Michael Kenway In the Value category, Disney's All Star Music Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort have family suites, featuring a kitchenette. In the Moderate category, the Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort have full kitchens. All of the rooms at Deluxe Villa properties feature either a kitchenette or a full kitchen. I’m not sure which specific resort was pictured, though. My guess us it might gave been a Disney Vacation Club room.

Steven S I’ve lived in Central Florida my entire life, and I’d say to still bring something for the rain just in case. It rains during all seasons here, it just rains a lot more during the summer/hurricane season. There’s a possibility you could go your entire trip without seeing a drop of rain, but I wouldn’t necessarily risk it. Especially since rain apparel is pretty expensive at the parks. For example, I went to Disney last Friday and the Friday before and both times it said that there was no chance of rain... It rained both days, but that’s Florida weather in a nutshell 😂

You don’t have to pack you’re entire beanie boo collection! Seriously! I had to spend 3 months repeatedly telling my 7yo that there was no room for souvenirs if she brought all her stuff animals. We ended up bringing only 4 stuffed animals, and the only thing I could buy for myself other than a couple pins was the awesome release day simba popcorn bucket... ...which I had to wear on the plane because, again, NO ROOM FOR SOUVENIRS!!!
