Grocery Store Near Downtown Disney

[Dream of a Life time]

Does anyone know if there is somewhere you can go close to Downtown Disney to purchase bottled Pop and Water. I will be staying at Pop Century for 3 days before leaving on a 7 day cruise. I would like to find bottled water and Pop to take on the cruise. I am allowed 12 - 20oz bottle. This would be very helpful when going into the various ports. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Goodings is the closest. It is in the Crossroads Shopping Center. However, prices tend to be rather high. The links give some other options. You can also buy water and other beverages at the Hess locations.

Thank you for your response. It is greatly appreciated. I see you leave in 6 days for your next Disney vacation. How exciting. Hope you have a magical vacation. It should be decorated for Christmas and that would be exciting. The links gave me some great information. Thanks again.

You could also bring reusable containers to carry water that can be refilled in the room and at the beverage station on the cruise.

Didn't Goodings close last year or did they somehow manage to stay open?

I'd just go to the Hess station, it's right across the street from the Pleasure Island/West Side. The cast parking lot is behind the the Hess Station, so there's a safe crosswalk to get across.

Or you could catch a taxi from POP to the Hess Station next to the Boardwalk. It's a short distance, so it wouldn't cost much and you won't have to carry heavy loads if that's a problem.

The cost of stuff at the Hess station is the same as any other station around Orlando, there's no mark up on stuff. Although you'll only find coke products, and no gum. They do sell alcohol and cigarettes unlike other place on property.

I think a lot of people who don't have a car @ WDW have water delivered or ship it.

If you google shipping water to disney world.. you will find a bunch of info. If I recall correctly a few places like Costco and Staples (?) delivered water. Probably the easiest and cheapest way.. and you can ship yourself some snacks!

Also, there is a car rental on disney property.. I think you can rent a car for $25-30/day -- so it might be worth it to rent a car for a day, pick up some water and snacks and hit the outlets.

Thank you so much for all the great information. There will be 3 of us celebrating our 50th Birthday's and we have planned a fantastic vacation but our Disney stop will be on a fairly tight schedule. We are spending 3 days in Disney before leaving on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise and then a return trip to Orlando to spend an additional week seeing the other parks. This will be my 4th Disney trip but the 1st for the other 2. I do think I will be taking a refillable water bottle but I also think I will visit the Hess Gas Station by Down Town Disney as well to purchase some Pop.
Again Thanks for all your help

DON'T go to Goodings. way over inflated pricing. Mile up the road is Winn Dixie. Sign up for the club card and the pricing is within reason. My friends are in WDW right now and went to Goodings against my advice and they text me shocked on how high the prices are.

The Hess Stations have good prices on water and pop- and they're on property. We like to get the BIG jugs of water to refill our water bottles with. They're normally cheaper.

THOUGH, we've had good luck at the Publix that's over by Gaylord Palms. That's where we went in September when we stayed at Pop- super easy to get to. Turn Left out of Pop, Turn Left at the Light (WWoS), Turn Right at the Stoplight (Gaylord Palms), Turn Left into Publix. It's maybe... 3 minutes away if you don't get stopped at the lights for very long.
