Grocery Delivery vs Grocery Stop & Visa Character

[Castle crazy]

OK, please help me decide. I can't figure out whether to use the ME and just have groceries delivered or use a car service, which I have reserved, and stop at the store. We are at the Beach Club and the only things we'd buy is water, sugar free soft drinks, juice and maybe a plums and grapes if they have them.

Our plane lands at 11:00 am and I'd like to check in and be at MK as early as possible. Trying to get there by 3 to see Wishes. I don't want to have to wait for grocery delivery person as I've read you have to do.

And, is the Disney Visa Character meet a good thing? We've never done it before and it seems like it might be a good way to get a really good picture.

Thanks for your help!

We used Garden Grocer and we didn't need to wait for them-they dropped the groceries off at bell services.

Mickey24c is correct. You don't have to wait for the Garden Grocer delivery person. He/she will leave your groceries with Bell Services (refrigerated as needed). Just be sure to include the delivery person's gratuity when you place your order. Way better not to spend your valuable vacation time in a grocery store IMHO.

Disney character meet and greet is definitely worth it. We waited in line for 30 - 45 minutes but once inside the individual attention payed to the kids by the characters was well worth the wait. Plus depending on what time of year you are going to be there, you are waiting inside of an air conditioned building, so it's nice to get out of the heat for a while.

We waited last August in line for less than 30 minutes! It was well worth the wait in the Air Conditioning. I got great pictures of my kids and DH with the characters. I do recommend waiting until later in the afternoon instead of right when it starts! We went right at 1:30pm and the line was very long, a cast member told us to come back in 2 hours and the wait was much less! Good Luck!

We did the character photo op last Jan.. it was awesome! We got a great shot on the last day of our trip. We waited until we were ready to leave, to make sure the little one was ok to be close to all the characters!
