I just need to get a few things, but I would like to stop at one the super stores since they tend to be cheaper. We will be driving down from the Jacksonville area. TIA:D

Do you know the area around WDW very well? The quickest Super Walmart would be the one on Oceola Parkway about 5 miles east of WDW. Here is a link: http://www.walmart.com/storeLocator/ca_storefinder_details.do?rx_title=com.wm.www.apps .storelocator.page.serviceLink.title.default&edit_object_id=2881&serviceName=ALL&rx_dest=%2Findex.gsp&sfsearch_zip=34746

The Osceola Parkway Wal-Mart is about 15-25 minutes away from Pop Century, and there is a $1.50 toll each way. I used to drive from Pop to school, and pass right by the Wal*Mart. There are times when the stop lights can get really backed up, and cause delays.
There is a Publix about 5 minutes away from Pop Century, just down the road from the Gaylord Palms, just before the WDW entrance. I know thier prices will be a bit more than Wal*Mart, but, IMHO, the convenience and closeness to PC (and no toll) would outweight the few extra dollars.... for me at least.

If you really want cheaper, hop off the highway on the north end of Orlando, before you get into Orlando proper. I don't drive the southbound route well enough to recommend a specific location, but I know from experience the that northern suburbs of Orlando tend to be cheaper than the more tourism-intense south end. If you have a cooler w/ ice in the car, it should be fine until you get to your resort.

I usually get off I 4 on the US 535 exit and take a left (if you go right takes you to DTWN Disney). If you continue on US535 it will T at US192. You then take a left onto US192 and Super Walmart is on the right (past Medievel Times). Then to return just turn left onto US192 from the Walmart and that'll take you into Disney Country.
I'm not saying it's the closest, or most convenient place to go--but I will gladly spend a little more time to save more $ and buy everthing I need (and usually more :D ) in 1 place.
No tolls--traffic, probably--but not too bad.
Hope this helps
