Royal greetings, Richard!
A warm welcome back to planDisney. We're so glad you've returned with another excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question! Your trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth is nearly here - are you
ready to begin!? As you count down the final moments before your arrival at the Walt Disney World Resort, I'd be happy to help you plan for a comfortable stay at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside.
Richard, in my opinion, the best way to end a practically perfect Disney day is by tucking into a cozy bed at one of the fabulous
Disney Resort hotels on property. You've mentioned you'll be staying at my family's favorite Moderate Resort hotel: Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. How exciting! We adore the lush greenery and welcoming ambiance of this resort (and my son loves making a splash at
Ol' Man Island!). I'm very happy to inform you that Guests are welcome to have
grocery deliveries shipped to their Disney Resort hotels before or during their stays, Richard. We frequently utilize popular grocery delivery services to have our favorite snacks and supplies we don't want to travel with (e.g., sunscreen, hairspray, etc.) delivered to us on our day of arrival.
While it's just fine if your groceries arrive before you do, I recommend trying to time the delivery for just after you arrive so that you can claim your items as soon as they show up. This way, you can ensure that your groceries remain at a safe temperature and free up storage space at
Bell Services. While the resort likely has the ability to store refrigerated and frozen items for a short period, I typically try not to rely too heavily on this convenience out of courtesy for Bell Services and other Guests. (Also, it's important to note that grocery deliveries including age-restricted items, like alcohol,
cannot be accepted by Bell Services and must be claimed directly by the Guest.) Once you're ready to claim your grocery delivery, Bell Services can deliver your items directly to your room for a small fee, or you can pick up your items yourself free of charge!
Richard, when you're ready to place your grocery order, be sure you're using this delivery address: Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside, 1251 Riverside Drive, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830-8514. Additionally, make sure the word "GUEST" and the primary Guest's name on the reservation are clearly printed on the order. This will help Bell Services identify and locate your items when you're ready to receive them!
I hope you've found this information helpful, Richard. I wish you and your travel party a magical and memorable stay at the Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any additional questions throughout your stay, you're always welcome to revisit us here at
planDisney. We're all ears!
Warm wishes,
Lauren
