how can i get beer back to Old Key West?

[newholidayx2]

I dont think its as easy as the Hess at Boardwalk/Beach Club
is it even possible?

Will you have a car? I'm assuming that you won't. You could either take a cab or if you need other groceries order from the Garden Grocer. Have a wonderful trip.

 

[newholidayx2]

no car
Ive carried it back from the Boardwalk Hess to the Beach Club
but wondering if there's anything that easy at Old Key West?

There's a Hess across from Downtown Disney, it's probably closer to the Pleasure Island stop (not sure). They also sell it in the store at OKW.

Well, you could take a boat or bus to DtD, then walk to Goodings or the Hess Station near the Casting Office.

so i can get on a disney bus with that beer?

 

[RCharnay]

We aren't beer drinkers so I don't know for sure but we bought wine and champagne at the store at OKW. I can't imagine they wouldn't have beer also. They seemed to have tons of Bar-b-que/picnic supplies.

How much are you planning to buy? Ask them to bag it.

Assuming it is bagged and unopened, I don't see why not. The Hess would likely be cheaper than Gooding's. The alcohol products at the resort stores is EXPENSIVE.

You can say that again. I sent DH to the resort store for a six pack and couldn't believe what he said he paid for it. It was more than I paid for a twelve pack in the Winn-Dixie just down the road.

and thats why i was wondering how to get it off property and without a car!

I would suggest as another poster has, that you use a grocery delivery service. I have used wegoshop with great success, but other swear by gardengrocer. I haven't tried the cab route, but I think the delivery fee charged by the grocery services would be cheaper than the cab fare.

Besides, that way you can have the peanuts and pretzels delivered at the same time.

 

[Hopefully]

We too have used Wegoshop.com to deliver to the Villa. They were wonderful. You can request which store they shop at. You order exactly what you want rather than picking from a list on their web site. There is no minimum order, although their delivery fee is higher. But that said, they give you a 30 minute delivery window, rather than a 2 hour window. We have used them 5 times and been very satisfied each time.
Although beer and wine were important to us we also ordered; fruit, juice, coffee, soda, water, beer, wine, cheese and crackers and snacks. It was well worth it and we feel we saved the delivery fee over buying beer, wine and water in the resort store.
Hope this helps.

Are you over 21? LOL!

As mentioned above, you can just take a taxi from OKW to Goodings to pick some up. Might be cheaper than ordering through a grocery service between delivery charge, tips, etc. Some delivery services do have minimum order requirements as well.

I'd use a grocery delivery service or even consider a 1 -day car rental if you want more control over the purchase. Otherwise, I'd follow the suggestions about bus/boat to DTD, Pleasure Island stop, and hoofing it to the Hess station.

Well we did this same thing when we were at OKW last year. Took the bus to DTD (Pleasure Island stop), walked across street to Hess and got a 12 pack of Diet Coke and a 12 pack of beer (I did put beer in a bag), walked back to bus stop and then back to OKW. I found the Hess prices to be very good.

We have bought beer at the Hess by DTD and took it on the bus. We took a duffel bag with us. we also bought pop, fruit, coffee. Best of all before we bought the beer and other stuff, we bought a slice of pizza and a soda and went out to the curb to eat it. So this was our dinner for one night and it cost us only a fraction of what it would have at Disney.
They have a good selection of hot food such as differet subs, pizza by the slice or whole and already cooked, nacho's.

I usually sneak it in using my stomach. Done it on the bus, boat and monorail as well.
