Grocery Delivery

[anchorman314]

Hi everyone! I have an upcoming trip to OKW, but this is the first time in a very long time that we won't have a rental car. So I was looking to get your experiences with grocery delivery. It's very likely that we'll only want to order some water, as we plan on doing all lunches/dinners elsewhere. And the few breakfast items we'll want are non-perishable, so we can just stick those in our luggage.

Apologies for the stream of questions, but I just like to get all of my (park) ducks in a row.
I've seen many great reviews of Vacation Grocery Delivery -- has anyone used their water-only delivery? I also have Prime, so would that be a good option for water? I saw Touring Plans' thorough write-up of various delivery options, but it was more geared toward larger orders.

And I know that the resorts charge a package/delivery fee, but is that per "package" or one fee covers everything? (i.e. Would 2 cases of water bottles incur 2 fees?) Anyone have experience with the fees at OKW? How/when do we pay the fee?
Thank you for any tips you might have!

For water only, you *might* do better with same day or next day Amazon Prime delivery, if you have that. Local delivery places are going to charge a fee, and some would expect a tip.

We used the same Kroger app that we use on a normal basis at home. Their delivery fees varied based on time of day, so we only paid a few dollars, and they do not accept tips. Art of Animation just held the groceries at bell services and there was no fee. At Animal Kingdom Lodge, I was waiting in the lobby when the groceries arrived, so I took them directly from the driver.

If you aren't renting a car, book a transportation option that includes a grocery store stop.

Personally, when I don't have a rental car, I will just Uber back and forth to Publix. I enjoy going to grocery stores in other parts. I think the cost of the Ubers ends up being around the same as the markups and/or delivery fees. The only additional thing is time. I typically have a couple of hours on my first day to kill.
