Best Grocery Stop Option With a Rental Car?

[PSUGuy]

We usually use Tiffany so we've seen a lot of Publix over the years, but next March I 've got us a car from Dollar. I seem to remember on our last rental that we hit a Winn Dixie, I believe it was visible from the highway off-ramp, are there any other good options for groceries and wine? We get the car at 7 am so an early opening time, or 24/7, is a must. We're going from MCO to BoardWalk if that makes a difference.

Thanks,

Exit #6 on toll 417 is World Center dr heading right into the heart of Disney property. The first light is 535 (Vineland Rd). About at most on the right side is a Super Walmart. I swear I know where stuff is there better then my local one.

Here's another option for a Publix.
Continue on 417 another 2.5 miles to exit 3. There is a toll at this exit I believe.
At end of ramp take right onto Osceola Pkwy and continue to light.
Take left at light onto S International Dr.
Go 3/4 mile and Publix is on the left.

To get to BWV from Publix.
Take right out of parking lot and proceed back to Osceola Pkwy.
Take left onto Osceola Pkwy and follow it into Disney property, approx 1.3 mi
Take first right within Disney onto Victory Way, opposite ESPN WWOS.
Follow to Buena Vista Dr and take a left, and your next right onto Epcot Resort Blvd. and your home.

Here's a map

Thanks for the map, without this I'd probably hit that store at the Crossroads, I forget the name but I remember how expensive it was (Gooding's) if I make a mid-week run

We alwasy stop at the Super Target on Orange Blossom Trail. Make sure you have $.50 in exact change for the toll.

They have beer and wine

I agree with the above poster about the grocery stores on Orange Blossom Trail.

Take the south exit from the airport, and proceed to 417. At exit 11 you will find a Super Target, and Albertson's. We have used both stores, and found prices reasonable. It's easy on & off.

If we need groceries during the week we go out to 535, turn left (north) and proceed to Winn Dixie. It's about a mile from Crossroads. Prices are MUCH better than Goodings at Crossroads.

You would have to make a left at this light, the Super Walmart is down the road on the right.

When I was there on 10/23, it was a Saturday around 4:00 and the traffic was horrible going towards the Shrine for Mass. We were going to Publix behind the Outlets but did a U-Turn and went to the Walmart. I'm not crazy about this Walmart, for some reason families of 5 to 10 people seem to shop together, it's really crowded.
