Buying grocery items at the DVC gift shops

[Bete]

Can someone direct me towards which DVC gift shops let you buy bread and I even heard you can get a package of cheese? What else can you buy there?

I would think the Beach Club would be the easiest to get to since you can go there from Epcot. I won't have a car and I'll be pushing a wheelchair. Would this be a good place for these items?

Here's a link for the store at BCV (hope this works)

All DVC resort stores will have approximately the same type of items.


Once you open the pdf just right click and you can zoom in on the document.

One other thought, If you were to go to Old Key West Resort and get off at Hospitality House, you'd basically be dropped off right at the front door to their store - of course you'd have to go to a park via bus, or DTD via bus or boat to get a bus back to POP, but it would be easy from the bus to the store.

Are you staying on property?
The value and moderate resorts also have a limited (small & expensive) selection of groceries in their gift shops. I think all of the deluxe do too, but not certain. So if you just are looking for bread and cheese, milk, etc. you will be able to get that at your resort. Pushing the wheelchair from Epcot to Beach Club is certainly possible, just tiring depending on how hot or rainy it is. There is a boat you could take from Epcot to Beach Club and/or Boardwalk. But yes, Beach Club would be closest to Epcot. If you are at Magic Kingdom, you could take the monorail to the Contemporary and get your bread and cheese there too, if I remember correctly.
Have a great trip.

Fantasia Market at the Contemporary is easy to get to from the MK. You can take the monorail and then stop at the market. Take the monorail back to the MK when you are done to get a bus back to your hotel.

If you don't want to go anywhere to find what you are looking for you can always use Garden Grocer! They are wonderful and I have never had a problem with them. They deliver right to your resort and bell services will bring it to your room.

Its Wonderful.

OP, which resort are you staying at?

The Hess Gas stations around WDW (across the street from DTD, across the street from BWV, outside the MK) all have the items you are looking for. I find they are cheaper than any of the resort stores.

The Friendship boat dock is right outside of the IG so it'll save you some steps if you take the boat to the Boardwalk Inn. The first store on the corner to your right as you get off the boat is the Screen Door which has groceries. You can then get back on the boat and head to either DHS or Epcot or get a taxi back to your resort right there at the BWI.

If you are staying on site I would just check out the gift shop in the resort you are staying at. You may want to consider a garden grocer order. And given florida heat I would not be buying perishables and having to take 1-2 transportation transfers to get them back to the room.

We have used garden grocer and we go shop. Both are great and much less expensive than the resort shops. Plus they deliver right to you!! Super convenient. After seeing one bottle of beer in the reort shop for $6.00ish I was very glad we ordered our groceries in!!

I also recommend either Garden Grocer or We Go Shop. Very convenient, and even with the delivery charge, probably less expensive than buying things at the resort store unless you are truly only getting one or two things. Even then, the time and hassle it will save you will be more than worth the few extra dollars you spend.

If you use one of the shopping services and the delivery comes while you're out of your room, Bell Services will hold it in refrigeration. The services know to pack frozen goods separately, and they go into a freezer. You get an email or IM when the delivery takes place, and when you return to the resort you simply ask Bell Services to bring it to your room. Major labor-saver, particularly if mobility's an issue for you or your companion.
