Are you talking about delivery or shopping yourself?We have never used a delivery service, but on 3 different trips we stocked up at the Super Walmart on sr535 just south of I-4 about a 10-15 minute ride from any Disney hotel.

We drive, so we bring some stuff from home, and the rest we get at Super Wal-Mart. Last October was our first time on the dining plan, and we discovered that we didn't eat much of what we brought at all. So this December, we're not buying nearly as many groceries as we have in the past.
We are probably going to order groceries from Garden Grocer. They deliever the groceries to your room for a $12 fee and this will work out best for us! I have a feeling we won't be eating too much in the room either, so we aren't buying that much (just enough for a late night snack :slurp: and sodas/waters). Thanks for the advice- I'm glad to know I have a WalMart nearby! Can't wait to go!!!
Is Publix located on the Disney Grounds?

No, but it's not too far away. I can't remember the address, but a google search will bring up what is close by. It's the only grocery store we shop at when we are in Florida (and we spend a bit of time there visiting family every year).

The Publix is at the intersection of 535 and 192. Your three major options would all be along 535, beginning with Goodings (at the crossroads) at one end and Publix at the other end. The super Wal-Mart is about half way in between, but closer to 192.
The prices have always been higher at these stores, and I can only imagine what they're like in this economy. I enjoy both Goodings & Publix, just because I've been going there for so long and I expect to pay more for everything at disney anyway. Locals and friends who have timeshares turned me on to super Wal-Mart though. They're cheaper, especially for Deli meat, which is a quick lunch that we enjoyed almost every day.

Over the 4th of July week we had groceries delivered for $12 from the Garden Gocer. You shop online. We also ordered a styrofoam cooler from them that helped us keep milk and water and juice cold for our 8 day trip. They called and confirmed our order, delivered on time and everything was just like we ordered. If you don't find it on their list just call and ask. They have about everything. We were very pleased with them. If you do use them, don't forget to check out the coupons online. I used several on our order and saved some $. GardenGrocer.com I believe.

I shop Super Walmart at home, but love Publix especially for their deli which carries Boar'sHead meats which is what we get here in NY.

The Walmart site doesn't give firm operating hours for the store. They give pharmacy and other department hours, but it appears that they are open until about 10pm.

I think Goodings is open 24 hours if you're a night owl.
