Grocery Shopping in WDW?

[syst0aac]

My wife and I have a chance to stay at some of the condo's with kitchens at the Wilderness lodge. We won't have a car, since we will be taking the bus in from the airport. Is it possible to get groceries in the park, without a car? (We are trying not to spend so much eating out).

Thanks -

I am pretty sure the Wilderness Lodge is part of the Vacation Club resorts. If so, those resorts usually provide convenience type foods for purchase in a small store in the lobby.

You will not have much to chose from and you will pay Disney prices for what you purchase.

Right outside Disney property are several full service grocery stores including Goodings, Publix and Wal-Mart. The Publix and Wal-Mart have the best selection and prices, but I don't know if it would be worth a cab fare to go shopping.

Hope that helps!

I forgot! You can order groceries from Disney before you go We have never used the service, and I think it's a little pricy. The variety is better than the little store, however.

I just checked my Planning Guide that advises grocery order forms are available on the website: dvcmember.com.

you could always just rent a car for a day or something like that

The Wilderness Lodge has some groceries avalible in their gift shop area. Basics; milk, beer & wine, snacks, packaged stuffs (I think I saw a hamburger help box) fresh fruit. You may want to use one of those delivery services if you have menu planed out.

They may be a little more pricy than your own shopping, but they deliver to WDW Hotels for $10.00 or free if you purchase $200 or more. The web site features just about everything, and nutrition facts for most all products.

Very Helpful

Thanks for all the ideas! Gardengrocier.com looks like it will fit the bill for most of our food - but it is good to know that you can pick up a few basics in the lobby.

Just be sure to read up on Hotel Delivery and inform the front desk of your delievry.

:wave: Some of the transportation from the airports make a complimentary stop at a grocery store on the way to Disney. this doesnt include magical express, though. probably the cheapest way to eat at Disney is the dining plan. have a magical stay.:sohappy:
