Gift Baskets in the Rooms About This Page:

Is it possible to arrange to have a gift basket to be in our room when we arrive? I want to do something nice to surprise my wife.

Thanks,

I'm doing the exact same thing for my mother. I went through http://memoriesbysarah.com and she is just wonderful! I can't wait until my mom sees the basket! It'll be great. She totally customized it perfectly for her! It's totally Winnie the Pooh, and thats my mother's favorite character.

She gave me the best price too! Only like $50! The link below is to the "rough draft" basket. I think it looks great so far. (The 50 includes everything, including shipping it directly to the hotel.) http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u..._2240Small.jpg

Another possibility I discovered is to check the room service at your hotel you can see the menus here
Restaurant Dining Menus from Walt Disney World
some of them have really cool things they are usually referred to as amenity or hospitality items. I am thinking of calling the night before we arrive to ask to have something delivered to the room for when we arrive. If that can't be done I will request it when we check in because we are arriving early and I don't expect the room to be ready when we first get there so if they deliver it while we are at a park it will have the same effect.

the resort and disney florist, the only ones who have direct access to your room without you having to hand over your key card, won't and can't deliver directly to the room prior to check-in because your room is always subject to be changed, even if it's been assigned.

before check-in, the best you can do is have it waiting at the desk for you.

Thanks for the info, folks!

Check out Walt Disney World Florist - they have some really great- and quality-looking gift baskets: http://www.disneyflorist.com . They are who I'm using on my upcoming trip. I chose one of their Disney creations and added some things to it - they are totally willing to customize! I am really excited, especially since I'm not telling my friend (who's going to Disney with me) a thing about it AND I'm having the card be anonymous ("from your Disney pals" or something - was the florist's suggestion).

They have lots of great baskets that would be great for a hubby to surprise a wife with. If you have the money to spend on it and you think your wife would like it, go for the princess tiara on a pillow or the Cinderella glass slipper on a bed of carnations.

What I'm going to do is check in early (before the 3:00 time they guarantee your room is ready by) as soon as we get there (noon or 1p) so that our room number will be for certain and then they can deliver the basket to the room while we're at the parks before we visit the room for the first time. It would definitely not be so magical if they just gave it to us at the check-in desk or if we went to the room before they put it in there.

My husband has used WDW Florist twice. Each time he has had something arranged to arrive on our first night after we return from a park so that it didn't have to wait at the desk before check in.

I'm pretty sure that delivery can't be made until after you've checked into the room

We're using Gifts of a Lifetime for a photo session this summer and I have had a good experience so far in communicating with them.

Yes!! AWESOME, AWESOME JOB THEY DO!!! Pat actually came to the hotel, picked up some stuff I brought, put it in the basket (no extra charge), and brought the basket back--- it was beautifully arranged, shrink wrapped (yet you could clearly see everything) and waiting on the entry way table in our room later that same day!!

I've used Disney Florist before and my clients have been very happy. I have also used Room Service at the GF and Contemporary to have cakes or milk and cookies delivered.

Milk and cookies - what a cute idea!
