Grocery delivery

[BobbyRach]

Hi,

Just wondering if any Australians have ever ordered groceries to their disney world hotel?

If so, was it worth it and who did you shop with??

Thanks!!

Yes - www.gardengrocer.com

Ordered drinks, snacks and fruit. Great to have things available for the kids on arrival and bottles or water and soft drinks on tap for the stay. The vending machines get expensive and it's annoying to have to treck to the food court and back all the time to get things if you've got kids.

This year we'll have a fridge so also going to get breakfast cereals, yoghurt and milk.

Our neighbours in the room next door had toddlers and they got nappies and wipes etc delivered. Found it really helpful.

I plan on sending my Garden Grocer order tomorrow. I just got some basics too, water, apple juice and some of the all in one laundry sheets among other things. Their website is easy to figure out & it has all been pretty simple.

I also just did my grocery shop last night.....drinks, healthy breakfast stuff, soy milk, m&m's,mini bagels, cream cheese, fresh fruit salad.....which is cheap 1 KG for $9, i can have it for breakfast/ by the pool, banana's at 0.45 cents each
all up around $110 delivered....we also are in a 1 bed villa so can cook & snack in a full size kitchen...I love being a DVC member

couldnt find any promo codes to reduce cost...sorry.

Don't you love how Karen is trying to make you think that she is actually going to cook?!

Boiling the kettle for a coffee is NOT cooking Karen!!

bugger that for a joke, i dont cook at home so changing hemisphere is not fixing thatMy DH does ALL the cooking, thats the secret to a long marriage.....he would have been dead otherwise.

I like easy, non cooking items.......toast is cooking isnt it, as is opening bags of M & m's & putting them in a bowl.. ????

and I have T2 tea bags, so that's cooking as well...

The only reason we have a 1bed apartment is for storage of all my shopping not for the fully equipped kitchen

I've used Garden Grocer twice now to WDW hotels (and also to our Disneyland hotels, but used Von's at DL). Both times they were great!

One visit we were delayed a day so our groceries arrived before we did. They were well stored in the fridges they have at bell services.

I would recommend choosing a delivery time before you arrive so that all of your groceries are there by the time you check in. Bell services will bring the groceries up to your room or you can go and get them, we always get delivery cause its usually a heavy load with the water.

We order fruit, cereal, milk, snacks, water (bottles and also 10 litre casks to refill bottles), wipes, laundry liquid (rather than paying $2 for each sachet in the hotel laundries and I always leave the rest in the hotel laundry for others to use after we've gone).

We used garden grocer as well last year and could not fault them at all. Our goods were waiting for us and it was heaps cheaper to have bottles of water on hand! loved the baby carrots for a healthy kid snack. Its strange to order it in Sydney knowing you will receive your goods in Orlando!!!
