25% of Our Readers Think There's NO Way THIS Disney World Hotel Perk Will Return This Year

Sometimes it can feel like the best days at Disney World were in the past.

Shipping & Package Pickup Sign

Was it the classic rides, the magical characters, and the dining experiences that made our Disney World trips unforgettable? And what about the perks that used to be normal at Disney World in the past that have vanished without a trace? To that point, we wanted to get your thoughts on whether or not a specific Disney World hotel perk would return this year!

We reached out to our followers on Facebook to ask: “Do you think package delivery will return to Disney World in 2024?” We had quite a few people leave their opinions in the comments!

What do you think?

Now, let’s dive into your responses!

Hope It Will Return

The vast majority of you are holding out hope for the eventual return of package delivery. (About 60% of you responded this way)

Here’s what you said:

“I hope so. At least have it at the gates. There’s a lot I didn’t buy because I didn’t want to carry it around the park.”
“I hope so. I think that was a real nice perk for guests not having to worry about carrying bags around during their time in the parks. I would guess that, if they did bring this back, sales would go up. It’s a win-win for everyone!”
“I hope so but on the other hand, I’m saving thousands because I don’t want to carry everything with me. We both lose. 😞”
“Ooh, I hope so. I mean, they want us to buy the big stuff, so it would make sense. If I have to carry it around myself, I might tell myself I will buy it on the way out … But I am not going to do that. By that time, the impulse is gone and logic may have set in.”

Crocs

We’re right with you. We wish it would come back because if it did, it would make carrying souvenirs around the parks so much easier. I mean, do we really want to carry a huge plush or lightsaber around all day?

Doubt It Will Ever Come Back

However, a significant number of you are understandably skeptical about package delivery ever returning. (About 25% of you responded this way)

Let’s have a look at your responses:

“I would love to see at least front of park pickup return! I somehow doubt it though. My wallet thanks them 😂. Just don’t want to carry it around so we don’t buy much”
“I doubt it. It was one of those little luxuries we used to get, like slow times at the parks. All gone for good. 😕”
“Nope. I just don’t see the need. The direct ship from store is used by most who fly. It is dirt cheap and includes insurance. Also, Almost everything can be bought at Disney Springs. Plus resellers already abuse the limit two. with things going to the front of park they would be the only winners. I have seen folks get limited lightsabers walk to the car and walk right back in for 2 more. Just hitting up a different cast member.”
“Nope. It’s too costly considering the payroll and cost of vehicles to transport the items. Disney will continue to offer ship-to-home as that costs them nothing. The guest pays all shipping costs.”

“It’s A Small World” merch collection

While we want it to come back, we definitely understand why many of you doubt it ever will. In the current climate where companies are doing everything they can to cut costs, it’s hard to imagine that they would ever bring a service like this back, especially if they have to pay for it.

Ship To Home

Alternatively, some of you have already adapted to the situation and have been using the ship-to-home service. (About 15% of you responded this way)

Let’s have a look at one of your responses:

“I started using ship to home when they stopped package delivery. Made it easier to pack for going home!”
“same! we try to buy all of our things at world of Disney and the shop in the middle of Epcot and then ship it all home.”

No judgment from us because shipping your souvenirs home just makes so much sense.

You can get your items mailed directly to your home!
