Tips

• Avoid carrying packages around the park by using package check. There are several locations around both parks where you can take your packages and pick them up later. As the store clerk for the nearsest location.
• You can also avoid carrying packages by saving your purchases until just before you leave. This is especially useful for the Main Street shops since they usually stay open for up to an hour after the park's announced closing time.
• If you're a guest at one of Disney's hotels, you can request to have your packages delivered to your room.

Am planning a trip to DL in the next 12 months and an glad to know of this tip. Before we had to take our buys to the locker rooms. Great idea.

I suggest to buy small things first so then you don't have to carry them all along the park. Then before you leave buy the big things:)
