Shipping Groceries

[EddieK76]

We are staying at AoA in 9 days (woohoo)

We want to send some breakfast items for us so we don't waste our quick service stuff on that.

What method should we use and when should we place the order?

Side Note: I am an amazon prime member.

They deliver to all Disney resorts and bell services will keep cold items refrigerated.

I haven't used it yet, but I downloaded the Prime Now app specifically for my next trip. I'll be traveling with a toddler, so I'll be using this to purchase milk when we arrive. Put in the zip code of the resort, shop for available items, and the items arrive in two hours. I've heard great reviews so far.

I plan to use it as well. Read great reviews too.

We've used Garden Grocer in the past with great success, and we'll be using them again for our upcoming trip in May.

Depends on what exactly you need/want delivered. There are several delivery services such as Garden Grocer and WeGoShop that will deliver groceries to bell services. If you order something or have something shipped via UPS/FedEx/USPS, you will probably be charged a delivery fee. Anything that gets delivered via courier/in person won't be assessed the delivery fee. This includes Amazon Prime Now.

There are several other threads about delivery, but it comes down to this. GardenGrocer has a set selection of goods with posted prices. These costs are often higher than the actual costs, and you may get hit with a delivery fee. WeGoShop is a personal shopper, who goes to whatever store you want, charges you the receipt cost plus a handling/delivery fee. Amazon Prime Now has a smaller selection in some things (minimal fresh/frozen foods) but prices are much more reasonable, and if you have Prime there is no delivery cost. I've used all 3 several times, I don't like the prices Garden Grocer charges, don't like not knowing exactly what a store will carry so WeGoShop might not be able to get everything I want, and Prime Now requires some juggling of my list to get what I need. They all have pros/cons.

If you just want things like cereal and bagels, and aren't up against your baggage allowance on your airline, might be cheapest to just buy them at home and check a cardboard box full that you leave behind. (Or an extra suitcase you bring back full of souvenirs)

Excellent advice! We do this every time -- by bringing $20 worth of cereal, granola, and Pop Tarts, we save hundreds in breakfast costs.

OP, whatever you decide, have a wonderful trip!
