A new mailbox was needed, which is likely why the prop was missing for some time.

The themed rocket mail prop around the mailbox got a total refresh, and all of the paint and décor looks very bright and nice.

This is an actual working mailbox, which guests can use while visiting the park. It’s a fun way to send yourself or someone else a unique souvenir from your trip. Mail is collected from the mailbox every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

In addition to this mailbox, guests can also send letters or postcards from the Owl Post in Hogsmeade, Scribbulus in Diagon Alley, or the Hello Kitty Shop at Universal Studios Florida. Those locations also give letters a unique ink stamp.

Here’s a look at one of those stamps, specifically from Hogsmeade.

Some guests have been known to send out wedding or party invitations this way, just to have them stamped.
