Shipping souvenirs home from Walt Disney World now starts with the size of the bag, not the value of what you bought. The September 1 policy replaces the old merchandise-value tiers with four fixed domestic bag prices and separate handling for custom, international, or overweight shipments.
The change can reward compact, expensive purchases and penalize bulky, inexpensive ones. Guests should compare the shipping bag with available luggage space before handing purchases over.

Disney World Shipping Prices Now Follow Bag Size
| Bag | Posted price | Typical fit described by the policy |
|---|---|---|
| Extra small (green) | $19.97 | Small purchases and trinkets |
| Small (pink) | $29.97 | A few shirts, a small toy, or a popcorn bucket |
| Medium (blue) | $44.97 | Souvenirs, shirts, plush, or a small suitcase |
| Large (yellow) | $49.97 | A small carry-on suitcase plus other small items |
A clear bag is used for custom, international, or overweight shipments. Packages over 50 pounds count as overweight, and the posted information does not give those shipments one fixed price.
The New Process Uses a QR Code and Email Tracking
- Choose a bag that fits the purchases without overfilling it.
- Fill the bag but leave it open until the remaining steps are complete.
- Scan the QR code and enter shipping, payment, and contact information.
- Secure and return it with the provided zip-tie tag, show the online confirmation to a Cast Member, and hand over the bag.
Ricoh is listed as the shipping provider. After the Merchandise Shipping Center processes the package, the guest receives an email with tracking information.
Insurance Starts at $100
The posted rates include up to $100 of insurance. Higher declared values add an insurance charge that rises as coverage increases, with a listed maximum of $5,000. Ask for the current total before sending fragile or expensive purchases.
Where to Ship Purchases at Walt Disney World
Guests can ask a Cast Member at a participating gift shop for the current process. Disney Springs also has a dedicated shipping station at Marketplace Co-Op. Availability and handling can vary for international, custom, or oversized shipments.
Ship It or Pack It?
- Ship compact, valuable items when the fixed bag price and reduced luggage risk make sense.
- Pack light, bulky items when they fit safely in luggage and would force a larger shipping bag.
- Ask before buying oversized items because custom and overweight rates are not covered by the four fixed prices.
- Keep the confirmation email until the package arrives and tracking is complete.
Add the shipping decision to the end of your trip plan rather than discovering it at checkout. Our Disney World vacation planning timeline helps organize the other decisions that are easier to make before arrival.
