grocery stop

[wahoo1]

My first post--please bear with me.

I have just made a reservation with Prestige for a town car. When these transportation agencies allow a grocery stop (and they let you choose--not even sure if Prestige lets you choose) which grocery is a better value?

Thanks (Oh, we're arriving Dec 11th--my son is playing in a chess tournament at the Dolphin)

Hi Beth. Sorry, can't answer your question ... I think most town cars have a "standard" store that they stop at that is right on the route from the airport to hotel. I really just wanted to say "Hi" and Welcome to the DIS !

One thing I will have handy is a ready-made list of everything I want to pick up. It's so hard to be shopping in a store that you're unfamiliar with ... and even worse when you are concious of the 30 minute timeframe.

Good Luck!

Thanks, Mary-Liz,

What kinds of things did you have on your list? I've never done this before. I'm thinking of sending a package of non-perishables to the Dolphin a few days before we leave. I'm not sure how much room I will have in our refrig. at the Dolphin--it's a "stocked" refrig.

I would imagine I'll need bread, milk, juice, fruit, water, pop--what else am I forgetting?

Thanks,
Beth

seems like I've seen price comparisons somewhere...?on Mousesavers maybe?

Publix or Albertson's are supposedly less expensive than Goodings. I went with Quicksilver towncars last trip and we stopped at Publix.

Have a fun trip!

OK...let me correct my post...the info was in the Unofficial Guide! Publix was least expensive, then Winn-Dixie, then Goodings.

So what exit off Rt. 4 can I find an "EASY OFF / EASY ON" Grocery store for our trip from MCO to WDW ??
I will have a rental car, so Time is not an issue... I will need to buy diapers and snacks... water...etc... so inexpensive is the key ! LOL

Any local maps online?

Thanks for the help!

Publix is way less expensive than all of the others, Winn Dixie and Albertsons are pretty much equal and Goodings is expensive.
