Grocery Store question?

[chojen]

We are planning to book either Tiffany or Happy Limo for our transportation from the MCO airport to WDW (Dolphin Hotel) in our Aug trip. We would like to request for a grocery stop to get some fruit, juices and soda. Can anyone tell me which grocery store I should request for the grocery stop when I am booking the town car? (Since I read from somewhere few months ago, certain grocery store were not allowed to be choosen for grocery stops)

Thank you so much !

If you are only using that for non perishable items why don't you use netgrocer.com? That would save you the stop and maybe some money too, the only store I know they stop at that I am aware of is Goodings and trust me , they are expensive.
You can have netgrocer ship your order to your resort and it will be there waiting for you when you get there.
Just a suggestion.

Mskanga,

Thanks for your information. The netgrocer.com is definitly a good option to get juice, pop and snacks. However, my family also wants to get some fresh fruit like apples, oranges and bananas, so I guess our options will still be stopping at a grocery store. Which store will you recommend for getting fresh fruits?
One more question, when you said they only stops at Goodings, were you refering to TTC or Happy Limo?

Thanks

I don't know if they only stop at Goodings, I know they are the closest ones to WDW but they are very pricey , maybe someone can help on this one......I wish I could, we always have a rental car.

i would recommend Publix Supermarkets, prices are much more reasonable than goodings, 7-11 is cheaper than goodings

Thanks so much.

I will request to have a grocery stop at Publix. By chance, do you know if Publix sells those foam coolers? I am planning to get one if possible so I can put ice in them at the hotel room to keep the fruit and drinks cool.

The Publix we went to (at the intersection of the 535 and 192) definitely had foam coolers. All in all, I thought it was a great supermarket and enjoyed shopping there.
