I can't help with location, but wanted to warn you that - if you do find English chocolate - it is likely to be ridiculously over-priced (since they have to import it)...

You might want to take some supplies with you or, better still, try some of the local chocolates. Ok, it is different, but one of the nice things about holidays is trying new things.

Also, if you do find 'English' chocolate make sure it is imported & not made under licence in the US as this would just taste like Hersey's in a Cadbury's wrapper!

You can definitely buy UK chocolates in the UK pavillion at Epcot. It's a bit out of the way for a special chocolate trip though! Unless you were already in Epcot, of course.

As mentioned above it is pretty pricey too. I have a very vague recollection of a Double Decker being $2.50??

I know Mandymouse (and probably opthers too I'm sure) will know so let's hope they see this post :teeth:

My DDs don't miss UK chocolate in the least - they don't even ask for it as they are so busy trying all the other lovely things you can sample :)

[alisonbestford]

The prices, as stated, at Epcot are ridiculous :sunny:

My advice is to go with an open mind and you might well be surprised where you will find 'English' chocolate ;)

DD isn't too bothered about Cadbury's etc but I seem to think we saw limited stuff in Walmart and Target.

I think we paid £4.50 for 2 small bars of chocolate in Epcot....... :rolleyes:

Sorry, pressed too many keys.... :rolleyes:

Hi,

I am also a big Cadbury's fan - but visit Ghiradelli's every day in the Disney Market Place either for the ice cream sundaes/malts or the chocolate itself. Best at the end of the day after a good meal. Fabulous.

The place that does internet access at Buena Vista Outlets (on 535) also sells UK chocs - not sure on prices but they certainly smelt good and the Internet prices were not bad either!

[Graeme]

Publix sell it. And Robinsons juice at $3.99 a bottle, Colemans English mustard, baked beans and other such delicacies. There's a Publix near Vineland Outlets just off I drive.

[JohnnySharp2]

I agree with Graeme , all the Publix's have an 'ethnic' section where they sell Heinz Beans, PG Tips, Chocolate etc - at least double the UK price, however there are certain things like Tea that they don't particularly do very well over there.
Guess it just depends on how desperate you are for the item in question.

You also have the 'Union Jack British Goods' shop at Old Town in Kissimmee, this place sells UK groceries, chocolate, crisps, tea etc - it's almost like a mini supermarket.
Prices naturally expensive.

Chocolate is horribly sicky in all the heat so I doubt you'll need it.

[daipp]

The supermarket at Crossroads sells BRITISH chocolate but like other posters have said it is fairly expensive.

In fact, I remember that they have a small section for imported British foods.

[tink,too]

We got loads of UK stuff at the King's Supermarket over on I-Drive! :thumbsup2

Sweets, tea, biscuits and Jacob's cream crackers! :rotfl2:

[granmaz]

As someone said earlier, beware 'Cadbury's' chocolate made over there. It is horrible. We bought 4 big bars in our excitement and were not happy!!! :sad2:

[paulh]

[ruthie]

Thanks for all the info everyone! I will take it in case of emergency!!

[granmaz]

We actually took a big bag of Cadbury mini bars and mini Easter eggs last time. We left one bar each day with the mousekeeping tip and ate the rest!!! :teeth: A taste of home!

[Queenie]

That's a great idea for mousekeeping!!

I never eat UK choc out there, too busy filling up on all the other yummy foods!

[MrsJobba1]

So I take it customs will ket you take wrapped bars of chocolate.

I've promised the dis people on our cruise meet that i'd bring them some uk sweets etc, one of them wants areo bars.

;)

Yes, never had a problem taking chocolates over.

My family are all chocoholics (especially for cadburys) but never have the yearning for it on our past trips - must be the heat!! - However think twice before taking your own supplies as you are not allowed to carry foodstuffs in any shape or form into the US and if you do (after declaring that you are NOT carrying foodstuffs on your Visa Waiver form) then you should be prepared for the consequences. I heard that US Customs can be nasty people!!!

[alisonbestford]

We had a couple of KitKats, left over from our hand luggage snacks, at Easter.

I checked with customs, as we were walking through, and they were fine with it :thumbsup2

You have set my mind at rest

As I said - and others have quoted - that is completely not true: you are completely fine taking confectionary into the US... :rolleyes:

Avoid this place- we had a mad moment last trip and went in here to buy a sun newspaper - we came out with the paper, 2 flakes and a packet of fruit pastels - and it cost $10!!

Try the US chocolate or take some with you if they're going to miss it that much. I have a friend in New York that I send UK chocolate to as it's cheaper for her to pay the shipping than buy it over there.
