What grocery delivery service do you use when having groceries delivered to your resort?
Thanks, MaryWe like Garden Grocer. Many on here use them. There is a $40 minimum, and $12 or 14 delivery fee. If you order further in advance, you can % off. You get to pick day and time you want delivery, and don't have to be there- your resort will hold(cold storage as well). They have a good variety of items, pricier than I like, but can get what I need. You can also add requests if you need something else. They will text you when delivered and call later to make sure it was satisfactory. We get water, milk, variety cereal, goldfish, pretzels, carrots, apple slices, gogurts, etc. Go to the website and you can check it out to see if it will work for you.
I have used Garden Grocer and have been impressed with the section and customer service but not the prices. In addition tot he minimum order and delivery fee, the prices, in general were higher than I thought they should be. I used them anyway as it was very convenient.
This last trip, I used Amazon Prime Now (must be a Prime Member). They have a $20 minimum order and suggest a tip of at least $5 or 10% but it is not mandatory (of course, I would have felt like a schmuck if I didn't tip).
The selection was not quite as good but the prices were better than GG. I shopped early and put several packages of lunch meat in my cart. When I looked later, they were no longer available but then reappeared the day of my trip. They do not deliver alcohol.
I liked the flexibility of ordering last minute (two hour delivery) and making a second order halfway through my trip.
If all you want you could get if from Amazon Prime Pantry. Be aware Disney is now charge all resort guest a $5 fee for packages that are delivered to the resort for guest. So hopefully your pop and water will be delivered in one box and not two or it will be a $10 fee.Any suggestions if you don't want a lot of things? A case of water and maybe some diet Pepsi?

Has anyone had experience with this new $5 fee and Garden Grocer? In the past, GG has come straight to my room, so I don't see why I'd need to pay Disney a fee. Is it now happening that everybody pays $5/package? That would be an enormous fee on a load of groceries. I'm curious about others' recent experiences to see if this fee is really being charged.
Awesome to know. It is almost time to make our GG order (I like the discount for 60 days in advance. I always get the same stuff.)Last week had no fee charged for Garden Grocery delivery that was held in Bell Services @ASSports until we arrived.
