Send Yourself mail while at Disney

There are times that you may need to mail yourself something while at Walt Disney World. Many people send stuff to themselves from home to save on baggage weight or just plain baggage, or they may order bottled water or diapers or some other staple in advance so it is waiting for them upon arrival. I have also order books and other things from Amazon that I wanted delivered to me during my stay.

If you are going to send yourself packages or mail, make sure to do it correctly, or you may never see your stuff again. Here are the basic requirements for sending stuff to yourself:

  • Include the mailing address of your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel
  • Clearly features the word “Guest” on the front and the date of your arrival

Please note that a $5 per package handling fee may apply to all packages that are received through the Front Desk or are delivered to your Disney Resort hotel room.

So, let’s say you are staying at Pop Century, your package should be addressed as follows:

Disney’s Pop Century Resort

Guest: John Smith – November 21, 2016

1050 Century Drive

Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830-8433

However, when deciding if you want to mail stuff to yourself, remember that $5 per package handling fee. I have had to pay the fee at several Deluxe resorts, though my understanding is that many of the Value and Moderate resorts are a bit more lax on charging a fee.

By the way, you can also send packages to yourself at any of the Disneyland Resort hotels too by using the same address format listed above.

Everyone loves fireworks and everyone loves the holidays, so what could be better than holiday themed firework? Basically nothing. Walt Disney World has announced a new holiday themed light and fireworks show that will take place in Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year, and hopefully for years to come. The all-new  “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!” holiday spectacular comes to Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort on November 14, 2016. Santa Claus is missing and the search-and-rescue mission to get The Big Guy back to the North Pole in time for Christmas Eve is all part of the fun. The show comes to life on, above and around the Chinese Theater with state-of-the-art projections, special effects, fireworks and a rousing seasonal musical score.
