I use Instacart to deliver food for breakfast and snacks; for a small tip, Disney will hold and deliver your groceries when you return to your room.  Be patient - they are busy people.  Just be aware that if you order wine/beer - you must be present to accept groceries.  So, bascially, don't order alcohol - and they will deliver groceries while you are out having fun.   If you want something, the small stores on Disney property sell wine and beer.   There is rumour that Disney has permanently stopped the Magic Express - a free shuttle from the Airport to Disney properties.  You may need a car; car rental can be a problem during conferences (see above).   I have taken Mears service from the airport; Uber is an option.  Once on property, you don't really need a car (see grocery delivery).   But, if you do get a car, confirm with your DVC rental that parking is included for both the resort and theme parks; it can add up. As a final tip,  we purchased a yearly pass to the water parks for a May trip....and visited the waterparks every other day as a bit of RnR on a two -week trip.   Enjoy your trip.    It's a wonderful way to spend time as a family.   I've run out of fingers and toes counting the number of times that I have gone.</blockquote>
