Hunter/Gatherer question. Grocery, liquor, Disney outlet shopping quest.

[Geyser Gazer]

Ok, I finally had everything figured out. Grocery's at Albertsons on Orange Blossom, liquor store right next door. Enter DW who needs to Disney outlet shop and could care less about grocery's or cocktails ( until its time for dinner of course). I would really like to do this all in one trip. Anyone know if there is a convenient grocery/liquor store near or enroute to the Belz outlet? I need to figure this out sometime within the next 40 years.
Thanks!

If you want a grocery store and liquor store on the way back from Beltz Outlet to WDW.

Exit Beltz Outlet. You should be on International Drive. In about a mile or so International will cross Kirkman Road (435). In about another mile or so International Drive will intersect with Sand Lake Road. (Worlds biggest McDonalds on right or so they say) Make a right on to Sand Lake Road going past the McDonalds. Work over to a left hand lane. Sand Lake will go under I-4 in a few blocks. A couple of blocks or so after that there will be a shopping center on the left with a Publix.

7640 Sand Lake Road
Orlando, FL 32819.

After groceries, make a left back on Sand Lake Road. In about 3 blocks or so Sand Lake Road will intersect with Apopka-Vineland Road. Make a left on Apopka-Vineland. Go about 2 or so miles on Apopka-Vineland. (subdivisions on left and right). When you emerge from the subdivisions an ABC liquor store will be on the left. After liquor store continue on Apopka-Vineland for 3 or so more blocks and it will intersect with Hotel Plaza Blvd. Turn right to DD.

Why go all the way to Beltz' ? If you just want Disney discounted prices, go to the Disney Character Premier. I think the Character Premier prices are lower than the outlet prices. I don't remember the name of that new mall, but it's practically directly across I-4 from cross roads.

Basically just exit Disney, go to International Drive, turn North, and it's on your left fairly quickly.

After that, exit the mall, turn north on I-Drive and the new Publix is just up the road a ways.

As to liquor, sorry, can't help you there.

Belz has a Birkenstock outlet....at least that's why I've gone there...no idea if that's the original poster's reason...but for someone who doesn't wear anything but Birkenstocks its really worth it!

Also, on the right hand side of Sand Lake Road...practically across the street from the Publix at Dr. Phillips Blvd., there is a shopping center with an Albertsons. If you happen to need any health foods or natural products there is a Chamberlin's in that shopping center also.

Here's another question...which would be the faster way to return to WDW from Sand Lake Rd.....Apopka-Vineland Rd. or I4? The I4 exit is right there on Sand Lake Rd.

From Sand Lake Road it will be faster going Apopka-Vineland Road, rather than I-4. They finally finished making Apopka-Vineland 4 lanes ( two on each side ) about a year ago. It's a straight shot to WDW.

I've taken Apopka-Vineland Rd. (last Jan.) and it took, um, about 15 min. from BWV to Chamberlin's, I think. I'd never tried 1-4 for that trip, but was wondering if it would be faster...considering the lights on Apopka-Vineland Rd. I guess not. The traffic on I-4 can be rough at times, that's for sure.

It takes me 15 min. to get to the store at home and it doesn't bother me at all.... but on vacation it bugs me! LOL We're planning on using the Winn Dixie right outside DTD this trip, only heading out to Chamberlin's if we really have to (last year we needed a homeopathic flu remedy halfway through the trip!).

Now, what are the directions to the closer outlets? LOL! And Target or Wal Mart? (Just in case......)
