Car service with one-way grocery stop?

[megaron1]

Can anyone tell me if there is a car service offering Port transfers to WDW, that will do a grocery stop with a one-way booking? We like to buy breakfast food to eat at our resort in the mornings, then do the dining plan for lunch and dinner. But we are renting a car from the airport (arriving a day early), then cruising on DCL, and will be taking ME from resort to MCO. So we only need a one-way transfer. Every car service I've looked at only offers the grocery stop with a round-trip booking.

Any help is appreciated!

We've never used a car service (always rent a car now), but in case you don't find a car service to fit your needs, consider a grocery delivery service like GardenGrocer.com or WeGoShop.com. We've used GardenGrocer and have been very pleased.

Thanks- I hadn't even considered that option!

I was going to suggest that as well. We have used Garden Grover and had great service. Good luck.

Yes, he is actually. He wears a straw hat and has one of those wheat things sticking out of his mouth. He drives a tractor to deliver the food to each resort. Surprised you hadn't heard of this service yet.

It is. He will leave the honor box at the front desk next to the cart.

There are car services that will get you back to WDW from the Port. You may be required to put up a CC to guaarantee the ride back because no one wants to go over to the port looking for you and you change your mind or don't show up.

Oh yes, I know there are plenty of car services to choose from. I am just trying to find one that will do a complimentary grocery stop on the way. All the ones I've looked at online say it is offered with a round-trip booking, but we are only going one-way.

You need to call those you would like to try. No car service offers one-way transportation with a grocery stop online. Most of them will take care of you if you call them and tell them what you need.

We used Garden Grocer twice and were pleased with them.

And here is the issue. The vast majority of people are going to check out websites and then, based on what they see there, choose a service. If a grocery stop isn't offered, they will go on to the next one on the list. Why, in heaven's name, would the normal, everyday person, think that if they call and speak to a person, they will get a different answer??

I have had a slightly different experience. I booked our towncar service for our Thanksgiving Day arrival. I wanted to stop and pick up some light snacks and drinks..not a grocery stop, just a convenience store. Our flight arrived, ontime, just before noontime..maybe 11:30-ish. Well, our driver informed us that since it was T-Day, there weren't any stores open, so we wouldn't be able to stop. I told him that I had specifically asked about a grocery stop when I called and booked our ride. I had been told that there would be a store available. This guy said 'Nope, they all close before noontime. Sorry.' and kept on driving.
I wasn't happy to say the least. We all know that there are convenience stores open on holidays...everywhere. I was sure to email the company when I got home to let them know of my disappointment in the service given. And that was round trip....I was more than entitled to the stop.

SO...I guess I'm asking why someone would feel the need to call in person to see if the policy on the website is 'really' real. I don't think that's the best idea or way to do business. But, that's just me.

I've been noticing the one stop offering as well. I'm wondering if they will take a brief pit stop in each direction - to pick up some spirits for our cruise, and then some groceries for our room at Disney on the way back.

Well, here it is. If you are to lazy to ask or to find out I guess you won't get anything. I don't think I see any web site that says "we don't do one way service from the port and we don't stop and get groceries on the way back from the port." If you see that web site tell me about it. There is e-mail and phones that can get you the answer straight out.
