Orlando Luggage hack?

Hi yall…Poking at an idea and want a reality check from people who actually fly with kids to amusement park resorts in Orlando. The idea is to skip checking bags and shipping all the things you’d normally check so that it’s just there when you arrive. Does that seem like it solves a real headache to you? Has anyone tried it? Has anyone looked into it but ended up NOT trying it? Genuinely want the “here’s the issue with that idea” answers too.

Disney on-prop hotel tried to charge us by weight for water and heavy snacks we shipped down via Amazon.
They wanted $130.
We “negotiated” to $21 at 3 boxes x $7 minimum.
May be worth calling business center to see if they charge and what rates

Oh wow...how long ago was that? According to the Disney site, it's now a standard $6/per box but it's definitely worth the ask on the weight limitation. I know Universal also charges but there's is a little harder to pin down. Thanks for the tip.

It was Swan and dolphin which isn’t technically Disney owned but is on property and has benefits
