how can i get beer back to Old Key West?

[NancyIL]

You can rent a scooter from an offsite company for your stay and ride to Hess The DVC ferry boat and buses accomodate scooters. Some even have a handy dandy basket to carry your items.

Though I'm trying to picture you "scooter dancing" at Off Kilter.

I think renting a scooter to ride to Hess costs more than buying the beer in the park! On the other hand - it might be worth it to see her "scooter dancing"!

This is one thread that has made me .

Clearly, I don't drink as much beer as I did in college. But I am amazed at the amount of money people are willing to pay to pay less per 6-pack than buying beer from a resort store at Disney. I can only imagine what the cost of a 6-pack is when you add the transportation costs and the value of your time to go off property to get beer.

Although I will admit that going to Hess to get beer doesn't sound like such a bad deal.

There was a recent post on either TPAS or Resorts Board that said the Resorts are no longer selling 6-packs, and instead selling beer at $5 per single. That's enough to make me help DH make the trek to Hess. Poster said it was a recent change.

No offense meant...but... That's 14-20 cans per person per day!? I don't think I even drink that much liquid in a day!

Have you ever been on an eropean holiday,14 days of beach and beer

Just got back where DH and his brother did a beer run from SSR after seeing it was $5 for one drink.
They left with the intention of hopping a bus to DTD and crossing the street. They get there and discover the normal bus stop is closed and they're dropped off waaay far away. Decide to make the trek, anyway. Get the beer, cross the street again, and discovered they were celebrities. A cop on a bike stopped them to tell them he was jealous, people were honking and hollering, and the boys were thrilled They make the trek all the way to the OTHER end of DTD (why? I don't know...they just wanted a beer by that time so the story got shortened) get on the bus, and wait through every single stop it makes. They get back an hour and a half later, and the bottom of BIL's cardboard case breaks open and several bottles break.

Next time they will do as disboarding DW suggested and have garden grocer deliver it with the groceries

That's a cute story! I'll bet if Barb rode her scooter to and from Hess to pick-up beer, she would be a celebrity, too!

 

[marynvince]

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

can fit about a 12 pack

 

[Muushka]

Hmmmm. All this talk about getting beer back to the resort makes me think........we always have a car, we could be 'beer runners' and buy more points!

I guess it must be a matter of principle

Why yes, Paulh, it was raining off and on that afternoon, but thank you for your kind words and considerate analysis of my light-hearted story. As I was unable to convince them to have the beer delivered, and I was unable to convince them to take something to carry the beer in, of course I should've insisted that they check the map and plan accordingly instead of hopping the nearest bus. After all, a quick and convenient route to get beer is more important than keeping peace in the marriage

 

[SRexcaroll]

That would be good if there is a delivery from the local store I wonder if you just asked at the check in desk if they can give you that information.

Goodings will deliver (they are high!)

Garden Grocer will deliver for $15 (I think that's it)

We Go Shop delivers (Not 100% sure they do beer)

Was torn between renting a car and using DME and Resort busses to get around during our 4 nite stay in November with a 3 day cruise added on. After spending $15.00 for 2 drinks at the BWV pool bar during a recent trip, it actually will be cheaper to rent the car for the week at $110.00 and stopping at the ABC store to buy our own liquor and "Bucket-O-Margaritas" that we'll drink during the week by the pool. We're not big drinkers but those pool drinks can get very expensive at $7.50-$8.00 each.
