Duty-free on way down from YYZ to MCO?

[4orm]

Can we buy things duty-free on our way down to MCO?
We were thinking of getting some beer to store in our fridge at WDW
Thanks!

You can buy duty free items in the airport. One word of advice I have about buying beer at the duty free... make sure your luggage doesn't go over the maximum weight allowed by the airline. We sat next to a guy on a recent flight that bought 2 cases of beer because they had a good deal (2 cases for $20 I think), but when he checked his luggage, he was a few pounds over the maximum and they charged him $80.00 US extra. That made those cases pretty expensive.

If you are going to carry it on, you shouldn't have too much trouble, but it might be easier to just stop at a grocery store on the way from the airport... it's not that expensive to buy there and it saves having to carry it all over the airports. Most towncar companies allow a free grocery stop or if you're renting a car, you can easily make a stop.

Good luck whatever you decide to do!
