Best place to get groceries between MCO and WDW

[nala1128]

We are doing our first DVC trip with a split stay at AKV Kidani and VWL.. We decided to rent a car at the airport and keep it for the duration of our trip. We are planning to stop for groceries on the way to AKV from the airport. What is the most convenient place between the airport and WDW property and where is it located? Thanks in advance

I have only stayed at Kidani twice and both times I checked in first then went to the Publix and/or target on 192, not far from Kidani (right at Sherberth Rd as you leave the resort then right again on 192). I just wanted to post that you might want to be sure you have some quarters if you use 417 coming from the airport (we always do --- toll road with very little traffic). The exit I used off of 417 to Kidani was an unstaffed toll booth so no way to get change.

There is a Publix near the 1st exit to WDW after the second manned toll booth on 417. At the end of the exit ramp there is a light, turn right at the Hess station near the Partners credit union (I don't know the street name.) Publix is about 2 blocks down on left behind a Walgreens. It is very close to the. Premier Outlet center. From there, just retrace your steps & turn right by the Hess station. That road goes past Nickolodean Suites and onto Disney property, no additional tolls or unmanned booths!
