Cabin groceries at bell services?

[Becky14]

I'm new here - I just tried to post this question but I don't think it worked. I'm sorry if it appears twice!

My family is staying at Fort Wilderness for the first time in a few months and we'd like to have groceries there from our first night. I have a question about grocery delivery, I'm sorry if it's been asked and answered (I might not have searched for it properly). I know that you can have groceries delivered to the cabin before you arrive. That sounds very convenient but I'm assuming it's more expensive than going to the Winn Dixie ourselves. I was wondering if we could drop groceries off at bell services ourselves, then go pick them up later in the day when we check in. Does anyone have advice about this?

Hi Becky,
I am not much help as I always stop on my way in at the Publix near the campground. My suggestion would be to call FW directly and ask a cast member.
Ph 407-824-2900
fax if needed is 407-824-3508

Sorry I wasn't much help

I know that you can have groceries delivered to the cabin before you arrive.
. . . nothing is delivered to the cabin before you arrive/checkin
. . . your cabin number can change at anytime prior to checkin
. . . also, no non-CM is allowed into your room unescorted by the guest
. . . this is a security thing
. . . if you are missing something, WDW could be held responsible
. . . for anything non-DME, you must be present for anyone to enter your cabin/room (except CL-floors)

That sounds very convenient but I'm assuming it's more expensive than going to the Winn Dixie ourselves.
. . . yes

I was wondering if we could drop groceries off at bell services ourselves, then go pick them up later in the day when we check in.
. . . people frequently drop of food the morning of check-in and retrieve later
. . . we have a Sub-Zero-type frig/freezer to keep cold/frozen goodies

We have used Garden Grocer 4 times and every time the food was always in the cabin before we arrived and checked in. Also the perishables were in the refrigerator and the frozen food in the freezer.
