Diapers

Flying in January and won’t have access to a car. What is the best way to get some diapers delivered? We are Canadian so Amazon and Walmart might not work for us.

If you are concerned that ordering online could be an issue, could you buy where you live locally and ship the box to the hotel yourself?

When you say you won’t have access to a car, are you ruling out taking an Uber or Lyft to a Florida store upon arrival? How are you getting from the airport to your hotel? Could you book a service that allows a grocery stop on the way?

Instacart? UberEats? Dizzy Dolphin? They will all shop for diapers and deliver.

We’ve had issues with Walmart and Amazon because our credit card is with a Canadian address which differs from the delivering address.

We put diapers in our checked luggage and used the extra space for souvenirs on the way home.

You can sign up for an Uber account and through Uber eats order them. I know you can go to Target or Walgreens. You can buy Uber gift cards at home and put them on your account to purchase them.

Not sure how it will work with the Canadian address concern that you mentioned but when DD was 10 months and we needed diapers we placed an order with Instacart and had a small grocery order delivered to the hotel including those. We used most of them and then just packed the remaining in our suitcase to go home.

I think the last time I had diapers delivered, I used Publix/instacart.

But you could also just ship it to the hotel ahead of time from Canada, I imagine that would be pricey though.

IDK if it would be possible from Canada, but we placed an order through Costco. It was a lot of diapers but we ended up shoving as much as we could in our suitcases on the way home and put what we couldn't up for free.

I like this idea best so far. Never crossed my mind.

^this has saved us from so many headaches. Nothing hurts more than getting to your destination and the only size diapers that are sold out are the ones you need!

Instacart has saved our lives on many occasions. We always seem to blow through more diapers on vacation than at home...diaper math is an inexact science.

Same! I swear my kid pees more when we travel, guess that means she was well hydrated at least
We thought for sure we had enough last time and ended up having to buy a small (expensive) pack from the boardwalk gift shop.

Good suggestions here. Have you thought about purchasing an Amazon or Walmart gift card ahead of time and paying with that?

Not sure of the bank(s) that issue the credit cards in Canada. But even in the USA especially chase cards it is always a good idea to call the credit card before you travel and let them know you will be making charges in X state and or country. If you visit Florida every year with the same card after the first time you should be ok.
As a last resort if nothing else works, although I am sure Mickey can get you $$$ diapers, if you go to DS walk across the bridge by on a upon a toy to hotel plaza- going right will bring you near the Hilton not sure of the other side? Follow the path past all the hotels around a mile maybe a little longer there are stores across the street when you get to the end.
