Grocery Stop

[doberlady]

For the past few years we stayed at OKW and had a car. This year we are staying at the Contemporary and will not have a car.

We are using Fl Tours for round trip transfers and get a 30 minute grocery stop. Since I only have 30 minutes I want to make a list in advance so my daughter and I can split up and get it done.

What would you put on your list if you were making one? We will not be on the DDP. Have 3 kids coming (12, 9 and 3). Potty trained.

Do not overbuy snacks! We did the 1st time and had so much left over.

Will you have a mini-fridge?

Case of water
bottled juices for the little one? (small apple juices for heading out to the parks)
My DH is a diet coke junkie so we spent a fortune buying at the parks so we always get a bunch of individual bottles to get us started
Beer/wine?

Anything you think the 3yr old needs to snack on? crackers, fruit chews, dum dums, goldfish to get through waiting etc.

Hummm I am almost sure we will have a fridge.

My husband is a diet coke freak and I should get some for the room.

We always like to have Milk and breakfast items on hand for ds in case we got a late start. Adults and older kids can wait to eat but it's a lot harder for little ones.

This time, we've ordered from wegoshop and we also ordered some yogurt, breakfast cereal, soda pop, bottled water, and a few snack items. We're on DDP but with a 4 (almost 5) yr old, a 10, and 14yr old, I'm sure we won't have any problems eating all of it.

Oh I guess we can manage cereal in the morning with fruit. We are not big breakfast people and my kids would be totally happy with cereal and a poptart.

I absolutely HATE sitting in a restaurant for breakfast while in Disney. I always think I am wasting my time and could be at a park.

I guess it kind of depends on what your dinning plans are. Its sounds like you will eat breakfast in the room before heading out for the day. But what about dinner and lunch- at the parks or in the room?
Also, are you planning on packing a suitcase with snacks/non parishables, or just getting all you need at the grocery stop?

My list would be
milk
cereal
fruit
granola bars- or other breakfast grab and go item
goldfish/dry cereal/grahm crackers/peatnut butter crackers or what ever snack your kids like
string cheese
cookies or other sweet treat
case of water
juice in individual size
beer/wine
soda

Make sure you pack zip locks (to take goldfish or other snacks with you), spoons and bowls or also add thouse to your list.

Rember 30 minutes is really not all that much time in a grocery store that you are unfamiliar with. So, pack what you can and make sure you have a specific list.
