Prime Now?

[hoffman1]

Has anyone used Amazon Prime Now while at WDW?
I was thinking I could use it to save some $$ on snacks and drinks.

Didn't use Prime Now, but I did use Prime Pantry to ship snacks and drinks to our hotel in advance. The box was there and brought to our room when we arrived, very easy.

Same with us. Used Prime Pantry and it was super easy.

We arrived on a Sunday, so I had the box sent on the Friday of the week before. I actually arrived on Thursday, I think, and they held the box until our arrival. When we checked in, they brought it right to our room for us. It was awesome.

Use Prime Pantry for snack, water, pop and other health and beauty supplies and it was easy and fast delivery

I ordered about a week in advance. You just put down the address of the resort you're staying at. I think we also put down our names and our reservation number. No problems finding it when we got there.

One thing to watch out for, if you're staying at a "conference" hotel, you will be charged an extra fee for having a box sent there. I think it may be $20 at some resorts. I believe it's Coronado Springs and Contemporary, not sure of any others. We were at AKL, no issues.

Prime Pantry on our trip in 2015. Ordered a week ahead of time. We got to the hotel around 2pm. Our room was ready. Told them about our order. We went to the parks. It was in our room when we got back that evening.

We used Prime Pantry AND Prime Now on our last trip in June 2016 as well.

Prime Pantry...ordered a week in advance. It arrived at the resort before we did by a day or two (according to the tracking on Amazon). We arrived maybe 2pm on check in day. I asked about getting it to our room, and we went to the park. It was not in our room when we got back. I called again, it was still not delivered that night. I woke up early the next morning and was told it would be delivered that day instead, well we had our breakfast stuff in there...so the front desk got bell services to loan me a cart and I carted it myself to our room and then returned the cart on our way to the parks.

Prime Now. We had planned to take a trip to Walmart to get a few things (extra sunscreen, some drinks) and maybe go out to eat in the middle of our trip, but we just weren't feeling it that afternoon, so I did a Prime Now order. They delivered to front desk. I got notification of the delivery, then went to front desk. It took a little while for the front desk to find it, then I again had to get a cart from bell services and haul it to my room myself (there were some drinks-like cans of soda or something-so I just couldn't carry it).

This was all at AoA, so there were no extra fees associated with it. I had credits to get free delivery with Prime Pantry and it was my first time using Prime Now so I got $10 off (which I think mostly paid for the delivery and the tip), so while the prices were a little more than Target or Walmart...it was not by much and WAY cheaper than Disney.

OH nice to know. I have always used Garden Grocer but may do the bulk of supplies from Prime Pantry now.

Thanks for those who have reviewed so far! Considering this for our Poly stay in October! any others - how long was it before your Prime Now order was delivered?

I want to say it was less than an hour for delivery for ours BUT it was at the front desk, so I had to then go to the front desk, wait 10-15 minutes for them to find the order, get a car from bell services, take the cart to my room.

I am trying to grasp this - were your items at 'the front desk' where registration was? Or at Bell Services?

When we do Garden Grocer - it goes to Bell Services so I am wondering if this is different.

I just used prime now and it worked great. Had them deliver milk, juice, water and soda. Used the app and selected a two-hour delivery window.

You can ask them to deliver to bell services in the special instructions. The only thing is you cannot order earlier than the day before (which I did) and they had the same items in stock. I used the 10primenow and received. $10 off my order.

It worked great!

This is awesome news. I am going to compare prices with garden grocer and decide which works best for our trip in Nov.
