Getting Groceries

[Chappyman]

I am staying at the Boardwalk this August. What's the best way to get a few breakfast things and drinks? I have looked at Garden Grocer but they dont seem to do Fruit Loops or alcohol. Is there any where I can walk to that is cheaper than the Disney stores or will I have to get a taxi?

Thanks for any help.

Did you look into the WEGO shop?

We have used wegoshop.com for many years. I have them shop at Walmart, I send them a list with the sizes, brands and amounts and they get exactly what I want. I have ordered beer and wine many times. They charge a delivery fee and the exact amount the reciept from Walmart. We will be using them again in August.

Thanks for the info, never heard of WEGO. I presume there is no problem with them leaving the items with bell services? I thought I had read about a gas station within walking distance of the Boardwalk - anyone know about that?

The Hess station is across the street from the DHS entrance, easy walk from BW. They have the basics at a reasonable price. I believe they have beer.

Just FYI GardenGrocer WILL get you whatever you want for liquor. You just put those requests in a comments section somewhere. I've done it. THey'll just contact you close to your trip and get your credit card info again.

Get a taxi; stores are just few miles away.

Have a great trip

They DO have Froot Loops. I had to check myself because I couldn't believe they wouldn't have them. The first time i searched I spelled it 'Fruit' Loops as you did and nothing came up. Then I remember it's 'Froot' Loops. So they have all that you need!

We've used Garden Grocer and Wegoshop (both for orders with alcohol). For GardenGrocer just put any extra items in the comments section, and if you have alcohol delivered to Bell Services they may ask you to fax a copy of your driver's license to them.

The price for both was within a few dollars of each other, but we much prefered Garden Grocer. They delivered directly to bell services for us, whereas with Wegoshop they asked to meet us in person which took extra time. Also, with Wegoshop she couldn't find all the items I wanted so we ended up with substitutions (which has never happened with GardenGrocer).

We have used WeGoShop for many years and have always been very happy with it. Amy is a gem and she will shop wherever you ask her to. Getting whatever alchol you want isn't a problem either and if you run out of something in the middle of your vacation and want it she will return.

Isn't using these services a bit much on the price side?

We have used wegoshop.com 5 times and will use them again in October. I highly recommend them. I prefer them to Garden Grocer because 1) I like to prepare my own order rather than shop a virtual aisle 2) they will shop where ever you ask them to 3) they give you the store receipt and charge you exactly the price, there is no markup per item like at Garden Grocer. However, their delivery fee is higher, so I think cost wise it comes out in the wash 4) I much prefer to have it delivered directly to my villa. They schedule with a 30 minute window, versus a 2 hour window with Garden Grocer. They have always been right on time.

A few trips ago, we priced out the cost of buying the same things at the resort store versus using wegoshop.com. We saved the delivery fee on the cost of bottled water alone. So yes it is well worth it to us.

Have a Great Trip
