[QUOTE="MickeyLuv'r, post: 9621944, member: 14940"] Yes, many people do this, but at present, many WDW hotels charge guests for package deliveries - by the box. There's also (or was) a service in Orlando that will keep a locker's worth of stuff (small lockbox) for frequent WDW travelers for a small monthly fee. The general idea is to use it to store toiletries and maybe a few foods that won't expire before your next trip, like maybe granola bars or applesauce packets. i've not used them, but perhaps they'd also be able to hold a carseat. There are also companies that rent carseats, strollers, and even some medical devices. There are also a host of grocery delivery services. I haven't used them, but they will deliver anything the big grocery stores carry: sunscreen, over-the-counter meds, water. The downside is they often charge a fair amount, and usually an adult has to be at the hotel to receive the groceries. One upside though is that they will usually deliver beer/wine, if one is so inclined. I'm not sure they deliver other alcohol, but from what I've read, the beer/wine prices are lower than what you'd pay at a resort pool bar, so that potentially offsets the higher prices on other items. I've only had water delivered. I used one of the big box office stores, I don't remember which one, but they no longer deliver water. Suffice it to say, WDW has been losing out to other companies in this area. I could potentially see WDW wanting to bring this service in-house. Oh, on the tail end- WDW will (or at east used to) ship some items to your home. It usually costs something, but I seem to recall it was included or a reasonable price for the more artsy/collectables items. At least some of the DS retailers will also ship purchases, I think for free if you spend over a certain amount. [/QUOTE]
