No. Not for that reason. They have several delivery grocery stores. I cant think of the names right now.

Anyone else got the name?

You may want a car just because of your family size. We are getting one for a whole week and we are DW and I, DD10 and DS2.

try www.wegoshop.com for grocery delivery. I have not used them myself, but I know other DISer's have used them and have been happy with their service. If you do not want to rent a car, then this may be a good choice!

Thanks cepmom. I was racking my brain trying to remember that name.

The first time we went to Disney, we didn't get a car. Mom picked us up from the airport and we took Mears back to airport. We used Disney transportatiomn- it was great back then (1998). I can't remember any problems with it. It just took a LONG time to get to the Boardwalk, because you had to change busses. But every subsequent time we have rented a car-we'll never go without one now!! We like the freedom of our own transportation, and I never have paid more that $250 for a car, and we get at least a full size every time.(we also got a minivan once and an SUV once, too.) We just got a full size car for our March-April trip for $131 (before taxes) for 6 days. I use Dollar and use codes on Mousesavers for discounts. We were a family of just 3 (Me, DH and DS) up until 2003, and now a family of 4.

If you have Geico, you can rent a car from Enterprise for 15% off. We have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee reserved for October for 8 days for $260.00. You could probably get a fullsize car for around $245.00 for 7 days with the 15% off making it $210.00. Or a midsize for $220.00 with 15% off making it $185.00

There is also www.shop.goodings.com they have a $50 minimum order for delivery and a $10 service charge.

There is also www.minimus.biz. If you prefer trial size.

I prefer to use Murry Hill transportation for the trip to the hotel. They have a 1/2 hour shopping stop at a local store, upon request. I like the idea of picking out my own food. I leave the DH and kids in the car. It seemed much faster without them. They stayed in the car and watched a DVD that Murry Hill provided. I purchased a case of bottle water for $3.99 vs $2.50 in the parks, that alone was worth the stop. I will be using the same service this vacation. I was going with the free Magic express until I read you have to be ready to leave 3 1/2 hours before your flight. I would rather NOT. I want to experience the magic as long as possible.

Have a great trip.
