Welcome to
planDisney, Joy, and thank you for bringing us your vacation question! How exciting to have your first
Walt Disney World vacation "Just Around the Riverbend"!
As of January 1, 2021,
MagicBands are no longer provided on a complimentary basis for arrivals at Disney Resort hotels. You now have the option to either purchase MagicBands for each of your family members at pre-arrival prices by clicking on “My Magic Bands and Cards” under your
My Disney Experience account or use a Key to the World card which will is available at the Front Desk of your
Disney Resort hotel or
Disney Vacation Club Resort.
I love the many
dining and snack options available throughout Walt Disney World, but sometimes it is nice to have breakfast foods, lunch items, or easy to grab snacks available in your resort room or villa. This is especially true when you have a fabulous, fully equipped kitchen in one of the
Disney Vacation Club Resort Villas. My family usually prepares a grocery order prior to our resort arrival, placing an order to be delivered upon our arrival at the resort. There are some great options for
grocery delivery such as Instacart, Garden Grocer, and Amazon, so I highly recommend that you check out all of the options and decide which best suits your needs.
You will simply need to provide your Disney Resort hotel or Disney Vacation Club Resort address when placing your grocery order and your groceries will be delivered to Bell Services within the specified delivery window. You will then need to either pick your groceries up from Bell Services free of charge or pay a fee to have the groceries brought up to your resort room or villa. Please note that services and fees can vary and are subject to change without notice, so you will want to confirm this information upon arrival at your resort.
I hope that this information helps you to put the final touches on your upcoming vacation plans and that you have an incredible time in Walt Disney World next month! Please do not hesitate to stop back by
planDisney any time we can help answer your vacation questions.
