shipping water

[JLitfin]

We leave in two weeks for OKW and would like to have a case of water deliver to the resort. I'm planning on ordering it from Staples, about how long does it take, from the time I place the order online till it arrives? I don't want to place the order to far in advance and have it just sitting there for several days.

Thanks

We are thinking of doing this as well. Does anyone know if they deliver the water to your room? We're not getting a car and I would hate to have to get the water from the lobby of OKW to our room.

How long are you staying? Based on that and how much it costs to ship a case of water to Disney from MD, it may be beneficial to rent a car to get from the airport to Disney and make a stop at the Super Walmart that is very close by - then load up on water and all other supplies for the parks. Don't know if kids are going on the trip, but my wife and I and three kids plow through a case of water and juice boxes with three or four days.

Hammy- I'm pretty sure Staples will deliver the water free of charge if you open an account with them- basically just register with them for free, not open a charge account or anything.

I have an account and the delivery is free. I got a case of Deer Park water. Price was $6.99. When you place the order it gives you estimated delivery time. I did it the day before I left because it said 24 hrs. It shows you this after you go thru order screens before paying. Make sure you put all resort info, reservation #, and your name on the comments section.

Once to the resort (we stayed at SSR on this trip) I had to ask for it at the front desk not bell services. They even delivered it to our room.

Thanks to all who replied.

Sounds like I only need to give them a couple of days, hopefully it'll be waiting when I arrive.

FYI..
I use "Garden Grocer" when I vacation and have H2O + "groceries" sent to the hotel. Milk, cereal..la..la..la
Its an on line service, you order 48 hrs. before your arrival date, things you dont see on line you write a description in a message box (they will go to a liquor store for you too!;).
I give the date, eta and when I get my room assignment, call them on my cell and they deliver within 2 hrs. "DIRECT" to the room:cool1:
Im happy not to carry all that stuff.
