Groceries At Okw!!

[dvcspain]

hello!!
we are going to use for the first time our membership in a cruise and 3 nights at OKW.

we want to cook in our one bedroom and we want to know if you can find almost everything at Coch Flats General Store (frozen food,canned food,fresh meat,fruit,eggs,bread....) and what about the price....

or we were thinking about to go to the groceries shop near Downtown Disney,do you know what i mean?,can you go there walking from Downtown? we don't have car.

and we would like to know more about the activities at the OKW resort and if you have to pay anything for it.

anyone knows if they have movies for rent in spanish?

thank you!!!

The general store has some food but it is very small. You can get bread, eggs, stuff for breakfast. There are a few things you can buy for other meals but I never have so I can not help you there. DD you can take a bus or the boat and there is the Earl of Sanwich Shop where you might find something. The price of everything is high like you would expect at resort. There are 4 swimming pools at OKW, if you rent boats you have to pay. If you do not plan to go to the parks just enjoy the nice pools and beautiful OKW resort itself.

If you take one of the towncar services (Tiffany Town Car, Happy Limo, etc.) from the airport you can get them to stop at a grocery store on your way to Old Key West.

There is a grocery store (Goodings) in the Crossroads plaza at the opposite end of the Hotel Plaza from Downtown Disney. It would be quite a walk, particularly on the way back with your groceries.

Why not try www.netgrocer.com You can place your order and have it delivered to OKW on your arrival day.

I think there might have been some fresh fruit and there is frozen pizza and pizza rolls, maybe something like hot pockets- I can't remember exactly- but the prices are definetly gonna be higher then they are at the grocery store. I bought a small jar of pickles and they were $3.50 !

First, let me express my condolences on your national tragedy.

As to the grocery question. All the DVC resorts have a fairly limited amount of groceries available in the "General Store" of each resort. Items tend to be along the lines of breakfast food and microwaveable items. There are no fresh meats (like chicken, steak, etc.), very limited fruit items and I don't think there are any vegetables. There are several grocery stores nearby but not a walkable distance. If you find the items in the OKW store aren't what you need, you could arrange for a cab to the store. The other option would be to see if the transportation to the resort will allow you to stop and pickup items (many offer that option). The resort can refrigerate items if your room isn't ready.

On the member site under Planning Your Getaway you can get to the Grocery Order Form for OKW. It will give you an idea of what's available and pricing. I'll give you a quick review of what's on it:

Dairy: Eggs, butter, Parkay (margarine), Kraft American Cheese, Velveeta, several types of milk, several choices of cheese.

Breakfast: Pop Tarts, Thomas' Waffles, syrup, several choices of Kellogg's cereals

Breads: Arnold white bread, wheat bread, hot dog rolls, sandwich rolls, English muffins

Meats: Oscar Mayer bacon, OM hot dogs, several types of cold cuts

Bakery: Several types of Entemann's donuts (packaged), gourmet cookies

Produce: apples, oranges, grapefruit, bananas

Canned Goods: Spaghetti O's, Chicken Noodle Soup

Several frozen pizzas, packaged spaghetti, spaghetti sauce

Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, Italian dressing, Parmesan Cheese, peanut butter, grape jelly, strawberry preserves

Several Stouffer frozen dinner options

Pretzels, potato chips, nachos, etc.

Several ice cream choices

Orange juice, grapefruit juice, iced tea, several other juices, Dasani water, Coke, Sprite, several Powerade drinks, lemonade

Coffee, tea and coffee filters

Hi dvcspain!
I would like to express my condolences as well on your national tragedy. Living in NY I know how awful it can be when this is so close to home.

We are on the same Magic cruise in Sept!
Now for questions. PamOKW pretty much covered the grocery issue. I would ask for the grocery stop, better prices and selection. We just got back from OKW 2 weeks ago and as far as I know there were no movies in Spanish for rent at Hank's.

See you in September!

 

[dvcspain]

well, we are going to use the town car one day before to arrive to OKW so it's difficult to keep things and bring things with us and with our luggage usin the disney buses,don't you think?

how can we do that?

thank you
Nancy,see you there!!!!!

Most of the channels on the TV are also on a sperate channel that is for spainish speaking guests (i.e. if Channel 2 is the Disney Toon channel then there will be another channel on the TV that is a broadcast of the same feature on Channel 2 in spainish) I hope this makes sense. Also I understand some of the rooms are being refurbished and new TV's and DVD players are being added, this could facilitate you bringing some movies with you.

There are a number of Grocery stores around Publix, Winn Dixie... just ask any of the cast members and they will happily help you out, HAve fun
