Groceries

[wmjivey]

We would like to know the nearest grocery store to FW. Do you know if we can order food and have it delivered?

The trading post is the closest, as it is inside FW

The closest "real" grocery store is Goodings which is just across the street from Disney property.

The meadows trading post has a small grocery section for emergency shopping. While the prices are not totally outrageous, they are higher than local supermarkets. If possible I would suggest stopping at a local store (my favorite is the Florida chain Publix Supermarkets) on your way in as to go back out can be quite a drive. If necessary stop again if you make any side trips off Disney property. There are many other stores in the local area including Winn Dixie and Goodings (a bit high in prices). The closest Publix I have found is Publix Regency Village Shopping Center.

Driving Directions:

* Exit the Disney complex on Hotel Plaza Blvd (Lake Buena Vista) to 535, turning right on 535.
* Drive under I-4, turning left at the first light after you cross under I-4. This should be Vineland Ave.
* Continue on Vineland Ave, pass the outlet stores (nice center) and follow the signs to Publix.

This is about 5 minutes further than Goodings, but you save a bunch!

Most companies that deliver have gone out of business, but I think there may be one or two left. Hopefully other will post names.

I've been reading alot of posts the last couple of days and several people are recommending gardengrocer. (I'm not let allowed to post a url, so just add the 'dot' com to the end of gardengrocer and you can check it out).

I've gone to their site and checked out their services and it certainly seems worth considering. The Trading Post is quite a bit more expensive than a grocery store so the $10 delivery charge might not be that bad in the long run. They have perishables as well.

I'm going to contact gardengrocer, but some posts mention that the food can actually be delivered to your cabin before you arrive!

When we stayed at POP last year we used we go shop. They were great. I placed my order 2 week prior to our arrive date. As soon as we got to POP I gave them a call and she was in the parking lot with all of my groceries. We even placed second order a few days later.

There's a new Super Walmart less than 10 minutes away. I never can remember the name of the road it's on so I guess I'm not much help. Maybe someone else will remember how to get there from FW.

Super Walmart is on 535. I also believe that Goodings delivers. I was watching them pack up a bunch of orders to be delivered last summer. I will say they are very expensive.It really would depend on what you needed. I do a lot of cooking while we camp, but it is because we go so often we look at it has if we are at "home". If it is just for the basics I would just shop at meadows.

There is a Winn Dixie on Apoka Vineland. Pretty close and they have normal grocery store prices.
