Hello Louise,
From one
UK Mum to another, welcome back to planDisney! It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to see you back here once again.
Us Mums really do think of everything for the needs of our families, don't we! Just like you, I always take into consideration how much my family enjoys
eating, snacking, and keeping hydrated during our jolly holidays at Walt Disney World Resort. After all, dining our way around Disney property is one of our most favourite things to do!
However, in my own experience, I've discovered that having a small grocery delivery direct to my
Disney Resorts Collection hotel has been an absolute gem in keeping hunger at bay in between mealtimes, at breakfast, and even at bedtime too. Plus, it goes without saying that it's also super budget-friendly as well!
Louise, I'm more than happy to share that I've enjoyed previous good service from the
Garden Grocer which is an Orlando-based grocery delivery service. Any ordered goods from the
Garden Grocer will be delivered to Bell Services at your Disney Resorts Collection hotel, where you'll be welcome to collect them in person. Or if you so wish, and
for a small fee, Cast Members from Bell Services will deliver at a convenient time when you are back in your Resort room.
Typically, my grocery order consists of -
- Plenty of bottled water
- Breakfast foods
- Milk
- Fruit
- Cans of soft drinks
- Crisps/nuts/snacks
- American-style sweet treats or cakes!
It may also be useful to know that each
Disney Resorts Collection hotel benefits from a shop that stocks a limited selection of everyday grocery items such as bread, milk, cereals, and snacks, plus nappies (diapers), and other household sundries.
My top planDisney tip for shopping is that if you can't see what you're looking for, simply ask the nearest Cast Member for their assistance. In the past, I've enquired about items like Paracetamol (Tylenol), or plasters (Band-aids) which weren't on display but were indeed available to purchase upon request.
Lousie, I hope that I've been able to offer some pixie-dusted insight today. If you should have any additional questions about your upcoming July
summer holiday to the most magical place on earth, then please do pop back to
me here at planDisney.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
