Any Windsor Hills guests order from Garden Grocer?

[Sav&Seb]

We have stayed at WH before and we always buy our groceries at the supermarket. However, it takes up a lot of time, dragging the kids around and all. I was wondering if any WH guests have ordered (successfully) from garden grocer? We are supposed to arrive at MCO around 4pm. We plan on checking in, and then heading to DTD for dinner and shopping. Any advice on how I should schedule my delivery? I'm actually not even sure if they deliver to WH. Can anyone shed some light on the issue for me please?

Yes I did order from Garden Grocer. I was able to work with the owner of the property we rented and he arranged to have someone from their management company sign for our delivery. We arrived at Windsor Hills after midnight and found everything as ordered.

We would like to know more about this too. We are going in December and this sounds like a good thing. I know the Grocery stores are close by, but wow wouldn't it be great to have everything already done when you get there? Great idea. Anybody have any more info n this?

This is from an WH owners site FAQs:
Where can I pick up any extra sundry items I need?

"Our home is located just minutes from US 192 where numerous supermarkets and superstores are found. There is a Publix supermarket located 2 miles West of Old Lake Wilson Road on highway 192 and a Winn-Dixie at Formosa Gardens Plaza, just West of Old Lake Wilson Road on highway 192. There are also 3 Wal-Marts and a Super Target within a short driving distance, well as numerous convenience stores located on US 192. Also nearby are stores such as Walgreen's (drug store), and many others, so obtaining nearly anything you should need while vacationing should be quite easy, and a whole lot less expensive than staying on the Disney properties and eating out all the time with no kitchen.

Here's another great idea...don't feel like spending time at the grocery store when you arrive? Pre-order it all and have it delivered right to your vacation home from http://www.gardengrocer.com/ !! This company is like what we call "Peapod" here in Chicago. You can pre-order all of your groceries online and have them delivered anywhere in the Disney Resort area whenever you would like!! The groceries cost the same as going to the store yourself, and are of high quality, and they charge you only $10 for delivery... if you spend over $200 then delivery is free! It's so convenient to do all of your shopping online before you ever even leave home so you're not wasting time at the store when you arrive! (They even bring them into the home for you!) "

I think you have to arrange with the owners or their management company to accept your order. It's something that you need to ask them about.
