Anyone know of a good supermarket not too far from Disney?

I believe there's a Goodings just outside WDW and
also not too far away there's a Publix.

Goodings is very expensive. I would go down the road to Publix (intersection of 535 and 192) or Super Walmart (192, about 2 miles east of 535).

[Peggy Sue]

Publix is a very nice store, with good prices. Goodings is WAY overpriced!

[pluvc1993]

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the info. I was going to post this question myself. We never needed/wanted a grocery store stop before, but now we're getting ready for our first trip home at WLV next month.

[Disney Adventurer]

Just an emphasis. It is worth the drive to Publix or Super Walmart

I guess this depends on how many groceries you are going to buy. We usually go to Goodings because it is close, is a lovely store, has a great selection, and we don't buy a tremendous amount of food--but it is expensive. Last trip we went to the SuperWalmart. Frankly, I thought it was a huge,crowded, dirty store. The prices were better but the traffic going down route 192 was horrific. Perhaps we picked a bad time to go. This time we are going to try the Publix and see what that is like. From what I understand,Publix is not far from Goodings so it might be a good compromise.

I will try to give you directions to the supermarket we always go to. It is a Publix and very easy to get to from OKW or BWV. Get to Buena Vista drive and turn onto the road that takes you to Wide World of Sports. Sorry but I can't remember the name of that road but it is near CB and is where they are building the new budget place. At the end of that road (the entrance to WWoS will be right in front of you) take a left onto Osceola Pkw. About a mile down the road on the right you will see Opera Land Hotel being built. Take a right. Just ahead is a highway under pass. Just after you go under the highway is the entrance to Publix on the left. Good luck.

Is the Goodings you are talking about the one in the CrossRoads shopping center at the end of the Hotel plaza?

[jel0511]

Thanks for the directions Terry, I was wondering how to get to PUblix also!!!

[Peggy Sue]

Mickey_Maniac,

Yes, Goodings is at the end of the hotel plaza. It's directly across the street. If you turn right at that intersection, and travel about 2-3 miles, Publix will be on your left. Couldn't tell you the name of the shopping center, but it was very easy to get to.

[Disney Doll]

Goodings is in Crossroads Plaza, right at the end of Hotel Plaza Boulevard, near DD. Publix is where the directions of a previous post put it...it think the intersection of 535 and 192. Goodings is a nice supermarket, but EXTREMELY expensive!!!!!!!!! Publix is also a nice supermarket, and much more reasonably priced. I have also been to the Supewr WalMart, and was not overwhelmed by it, but it would do in a pinch, I guess. My vote is for Publix!!

[Laurajean1014]

If you're using Tiffany TC or a local taxi, they will gladly take you to any of the three places at no extra charge (up to 1/2 @ market). We use Goodings 'cause its convenient and never found it crowded). Don't mind paying the extra cost, 'cause it still cheaper than the General Store.

Best of luck on your trip!

Thank you very much for the useful information for groceries. It sounds like Publix is only about 20 minutes from say, BWV? I don't know my way around. :( Is there a large pharmacy nearby?

[PKS44]

The Publix is maybe 10 minutes from BWV or OKW. DO NOT take 192 there, take 535 to 192..it is right at the intersection and 535 is much faster!

[BillPA]

There are several Walgreen's near by. Here is a link to 3 near the Publix mentioned in earlier posts.

[scrappinmom_2000]

Thank you very much. I don't know my way around & I have been waiting for a couple years to get into the BWV. This is incredibly useful info to me.

We stayed at the Poly in January & I went to a WalMart in what I think was Kissimmee. With all the traffic & road construction, it was about 40 minutes each way. WalMart was packed late on a Sunday night, & I stood in line over 30 minutes :(

[nezy]

Goodings is way to expensive! We went ther once or twice years ago, before kids. Publix is good, but I always go to SuperWal-Mart, later in the day. This is also a good place to find some inexpensive"Disney" memorabilia that I give to the kids during the trip as well as inexpensive pool toys.

Not the fastes route but gets you the idea of where to go.
Publix is on the same route about 2/3 of the way.

If you're flying into MCO and will have a rental car, you might be interested to know that there is a brand-spanking new SUPER-TARGET on OBT just off the 417 (Greenway). You can't miss it from the highway and it is a huge, clean and well stocked store.

[Grateful11]

If you go to the 192 Super W-M don't pass by the fresh French Bread. We bought 3 loaves last Sunday and it was as wonderful as always. They bring it out about every 30-60mins. We happened to be walking by when the lady was shouting "Hot French Bread". It so hot you could hardly handle it. It takes us about 15-20mins from OKW to get there and maybe 15mins in the checkout. The prices are comparable to the NC prices. If you're leaving out of OKW turn right at the gate, go by the Disney Institute, then right at the stop sign, then left at Buena Vista Dr. near DD, then right on 535 and then left on 192. Our son insist that we get bread from Super W-M every trip down. I haven't been to Goodings in about 3 years but vowed never to go back. We may try Publix next time but not sure.

[Captain Hook]

they are building a new "super" store outside of wdw. I dont remember the name of the store, but if you are facing goodings and instead of going right to the highway take a left and the store is mile down on the right. It should be opening about springtime by the looks of it.(sorry for being so vauge)

[stings]

Definately use Publix. The nearest location, of which previous posters have given directions, is a nice clean grocery store with a more than adequate selection of items. Goodings is a very nice store but the price differential does not come close to making it preferential to Publix.

[InnoventionsGuy]

I use the Publix just outside of Disney near Celebration. Click here for a Publix map. (http://store.publix.com/publix/cgi/site?00570)

From Disney: Just take 192 east, past Celebration, past the RaceTrak gas station on your left, and under the bridge. Then make your next left on International Drive. Make an immediate right into the Publix shopping center.

From Airport: Take 417 South to Celebration (exit 2). Make a right on Celebration Avenue. Make a right on 192, go past the RaceTrak gas station on your left, and under the bridge. Then make your next left on International Drive. Make an immediate right into the Publix shopping center.

A Walgreens pharmacy with drive-thru is located across International Drive from the Publix.

If you are going to WDW via the airport, try Albertson's on Orange Blossom Tr. We did two weeks ago and the place was very reasonable, clean and had great sales that you did not have to have a discount card for. We will continue to visit this store when we travel there.

[scrappinmom_2000]

I appreciate all the nifty directions. We're at the Poly the first 2 days, so we'll wait & get groceries when we move to BWV. I had a heck of a time finding my way around last time, & am glad to avoid the trek to Kissimmee. I'm surprised the Poly Concierge didn't give me better advice before :rolleyes: I tend to want close access to a drugstore for a selection of bandaids, crayons, baggies, ...
