END DATE Announced for Disney World Service

Disney has closed, discontinued, or otherwise ended certain services over the past few years, and now they’ve announced another big change.

We’ve already said “goodbye” to the Magical Express, FastPass+ (replaced with Genie+), Splash Mountain (will become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure), Stitch’s Great Escape, Primeval Whirl, and more. But now soon another Disney service will be altered in a big way.

In a message sent to travel agents, Disney announced that starting August 27th, 2023, it will be transitioning its floral and gifts service to a third-party vendor.

Right now, if you want to order flowers, a gift basket, balloons, or other special things for your hotel room, you can order them through Disney’s own Floral and Gifts company — either by placing your order online or by calling Disney, but soon that option won’t exist.

These items can be added through Disney’s own Floral & Gifts service to vacations that will be fulfilled on or before August 26th. But floral items, gifts, or other related in-room amenities can’t be added to travel packages for vacations on or after August 27th.

If you placed an order through Disney Floral & Gifts for August 27th or later, Disney has said that those costs will be fully refunded and that refund should appear on a guest accounts in the coming days.

Those looking to place a new order for dates that fall on or after August 27th are being encouraged to check the Disney Floral & Gifts website closer to their arrival date to learn more about how to place orders with the new vendor — Florida Fresh Floral.

So if you’ve always wanted to order a little something extra for family game night in the hotel, your honeymoon or anniversary, a birthday, or a special event, and you’ve wanted to order it specifically through Disney Floral & Gifts, be sure to get in those orders NOW for vacation dates on or before August 26th.
