Grocery Stores in the MCO and Universal Studio's areas?

[Familyof14]

What grocery stores are in the MCO airport and Universal Studio's areas?

We have a late flight in which we will probably not get on the road until after 10:00 pm. We have been told by our limo company that most grocery stores will be closed by that time.

I am looking for any grocery stores in the above areas so that I can do a search to see what might be opened at that time. No convenience stores please.

Also, do the FL grocery stores carry wine? I think they do.
Thanks!

A "free" grocery stop really has to be on the direct route, if you offer to pay/tip the driver might be willing to drive the extra distance for an open store.

PBH address is:

Orlando Portofino Bay Hotel
5601 Universal Blvd.
Orlando, FL 32819

Nothing is in walking distance but there is an Albertson a few miles away. There is also a Publix reasonably close. Go to both websites and then talk to your limo company and see what they'll do for you. I think Albertson is open 24 hours, they might let you pre-order. The website says it's a savon.com pickup site. The drive may be willing to stop if all you're doing is paying and picking up.

An alternative is to stop at a drug store like Walgreens to get soda and water. You can pack some of the lighter items you want.

We need beer and wine.

Walgreens carries beer (and I think liquor and wine). If that's all you want you don't have to go out of the way to find a 24 hour supermarket. Now if you have a specific brand preference....

We also need tonic and water. Some breakfast items like muffins should be available at Walgreens as well. Is there one on the MCO - PBH route?
I don't think our Walgreens carries beer and wine. I will have to check it out.

I gave you the address for PBH. Go to the Walgreens and Albertsons website. They will give the address of the nearest stores.

The weekly Walgreens circular shows Bud, Heinken, Absolut...on sale. I'm sure they have tonic and I know they have water and soda.

Walgreens is on the way, the driver shouldn't have a problem. Albersons (24/7) is probably 3 miles out of your way. Print the maps decide what you want then talk to your limo company.

Thanks! I did find one a mile away on Kirkman????

I wondered why you gave me the address.

The Florida Walgreens seem to be one of the few left that still offer alcohol.
