Grocery Shopping Upon Arrival - Organic?

[EllNat11]

Hello All -

We will be heading down to WDW for ten days on May 1. We have a 1 BR at Bay Lake Tower and due to my 14 month old daughter's food allergies (peanut, dairy, egg) we will be doing a fair amount of cooking in the room/bringing our own snacks to the parks.

Is there a local grocery store with a good organic/natural food selection? I usually go to Trader Joes and Wegmans here at home but those aren't an option down there. I've only been to a small Publix there (the one near AKL) which didn't have a large variety so thought i'd ask. Since i know we'll be partaking in a decent amount of unhealthy theme park food and snacks i'd like to keep our in room meals as similar to home as possible.

Thanks!

Probably the best source for gluten-free or other special dietary foods is the Whole Foods Market in the shopping center between I-4 and Turkey Lake road, just on the South side of Sand Lake Road.

To get there take I-4 in the direction of Orlando and get off at Exit 74, Sand Lake Road. Stay in the left lane and turn left, going under I-4. Ignore the traffic light for the other off-ramp (unless it is red, then stop). The next full intersection is Turkey Lake Road. Turn left here and then make the first available left into the shopping center. Note the Whole Foods Market faces Sand Lake Road.

If you are driving from the airport and want to stop there on the way to WDW, take the Beach Line (SR-528) to where it ends and head in the direction of Orlando.
