Bizarre question--where to find dt mountain dew???

Does anyone now who Universal has a contract with?

Universal pours Coca-Cola products. But they sell Zephyrhills water, which is FAR better than Dasani.

Thats to bad that everywhere is always Coke. It wouldn't even be so bad if they also had Vault to offer. I could live with that. Not my first choice but it would do. I know that SSR and Sunrise(by Soarin) do offer Vault. Anywhere else in the parks that offer foutain Vault?

Are you flying in? Why not just see if you could pick up some bottles in the airport? You might pay alot, but it might still be cheaper than delivery or hiring a taxi.

If you're going to get a taxi anyway, I'd strongly suggest skipping the Goodings at Crossroads and going another 1/2 mile up the Apopka Vineland on the left to the Walgreens. That Goodings is INSANELY expensive, while the Walgreens has pretty "normal" prices and a decent grocery dept.

I used to share your addiction of the Dew when I was a teen. Before that my addiction was Mellow Yellow. But I too don't drink coffee and my current (last 10 years lol) is Big Red. I know a LOT of ppl reading this won't have any idea what I'm talking about but it's a soda pop only sold in a select few southern states.

Long story short we drove so I brought 3 6-packs of bottled Big Red but would have sold one of my children's pinky toes in order to have my morning fizz. My advice to you is that IF you are unable to ship your needs prior to arriving you should pay off a hotel worker to bring you your am crack.

It's worth a $20 tip IMO.

Now for a funny story-

As I said before I brought my Big Red with me and upon our 4th day I came to know that Goofy is a southern born pup. I started out that day by dragging my butt out of bed at the crack of dawn like EVERY morning at DW, eating a breakfast of gummy bears, mickey waffles made in our villa, and bacon. Made sure everyone was dressed and prepared for the day. After that I grabbed my obligatory Big Red and RAN down to the quiet pool to smoke a cig and dwell in the yummy goodness of my Big Red before tearing off to AK with a group of 13 who were all non smokers.... well one other was a smoker but she was askeered to let another of our party know so she pretended and borrowed from me...40+ yrs old and still worried about what others think of you while you are on vaca? ANYHOO!

So after a few hours of fun in AK a few of us go to see safari characters since it was threatening rain and as I watched my hubs and DD take pics with Goofy. I couldn't help but notice how Goofy kept pointing at me. Not one of those "gotcha" or "yu da man" sort of points or poses for the camera. No no it was sort of weird lol. It wasn't till my turn with Goofy that I was made to understand what that was all about.

As my hubby walked away from Goofy it was apparent that Goofy was waving me towards him in a hurried state. Like, "COME ON HURRY!!!"

So I was grinning ear to ear as Goofy took me up in his arms and started jumping up n down. I was laughing hysterically because I thought he was patting my butt! It must have been 2 minutes of jumping up n down before I realized what was actually going on. Goofy was patting the empty bottle of Big Red that was on the side of my mini backpack!!!!! Goofy was absolutely EXCTATIC to see Big Red at Disney! I could hear a voice saying OMG YOU ARE SO LUCKY! but I'm sure it was my mind playing tricks on me.

At the time I didn't even think to tell him where we were staying so he could come by and pick a few up BUT I will definitely remember next time. I was laughing SO hard y'all.

Here's a pic-

After, my hubby asked me why Goofy hugged and jumped so much with me, I just told him it was cuz of my ta tas. No LOL I explained it all and he laughed.

I did meet up with the Goofster a few days later but as you prolly know his memory isn't all that good so at breakfast over at Tony's he didn't even notice my Big Red. And at the Illuminations dinner he was too busy to get off the dance floor to even breathe but alas I didn't have one with me for that.

tips- have one extra per day in case other ppl really really want one so you don't look like a crazy person telling them NO I WILL NOT SHARE!. Start drinking another pop you like that is a Coca Cola product in case you can't have your Dew crack or run out. I started drinking Coke.

Okay so some may consider this weird but these drinks are our coffee. If you are a coffee drinker just imagine what it might be like to suddenly be cut off from the one thing that gets you going in the morning.



Okay it IS funny but ya know what? Bite me

We Go Shop (www.wegoshop.com) has a $17 service/delivery charge, but I think no minimum). That would probably be cheaper than a taxi. If you prefer Garden Grocer's $12 service/delivery charge, see if there are other items on the site you can order and take home with you - shampoo, etc.

Try NetGrocer - I don't know if they have or ship soda, but it can't hurt to look.

Take a bus to Downtown Disney. Walk or take a taxi to the other end of Hotel Plaza Boulevard, then cross the street carefully to Goodings, then take a taxi back to your resort.

has anyone used WeGoShop for delivery? it appears that they will only deliver if someone is there in the room to receive and pay. (no pre-pay like Garden Grocer)
