Magical greetings to you, David, and thank you for visiting planDisney with your question! It's always such an honor to help Guests plan their adventures to Walt Disney World Resort.
How exciting to know that the countdown to your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is coming up soon! I completely understand your question because my family often relies on having important grocery and household goods on hand when we are on vacation. There's nothing like having access to your favorite snack, beverage, or other necessity whenever you might need it. You can certainly opt to visit a local retailer, grocery store, or drug store by using a ride-share service or inquiring with your
Disney Resort Hotel about arranging transportation by taxi cab. Alternatively, you could prepare an order at your favorite retailer in the area and have it delivered to your hotel property. There are lots of options for grocery delivery services, but my family has used Instacart, Walmart, and Amazon Fresh with great success in the past! Delivery fees may vary by service, but this is a helpful option to keep in mind.
In the event that you do opt for grocery delivery, you'll want to note your hotel's mailing address in the "Overview" section of your specific
Disney Resort hotel's webpage. Then, you should plan to meet your delivery driver in the hotel lobby to receive the delivery, especially if you have age-restricted items that require identification. If this is not the case, you can request to have the
grocery order held with Bell Services. They can keep your cold items refrigerated for you, and then you can either choose to retrieve them from the hotel's bell desk or request that they be brought to your room when you check in, for a
small fee.
Finally, David, you might also consider checking the merchandise and other sundries available at your Disney Resort Hotel in the gift shop. They often have many household items stocked and available for purchase. During my last trip, I desperately needed some sunscreen and a few first-aid items, and it was so nice to be able to find them right at my Disney Resort hotel property. I hope this is all helpful advice as you continue preparing for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation, David. If we can assist with anything else in the meantime, please don't hesitate to come back to
planDisney with any other questions. I hope you'll consider us a planning resource for the future!
Magically yours,
