Is Kroger Delivery still available for Disney World resorts? (...with all the closures)

[mommycrawford]

Hi all! As per AJ, my family used Kroger delivery last year, which was amazing!… But when I go to the site now, it appears that they don't have any stores near Disney? Has anybody been able to get groceries delivery from Kroger recently, and how did you do it? Thanking everybody in advance for their thoughts and experiences!

I thought Kroger didn’t have stores in the area, they just run via delivery? Are Disney hotels not showing up as a delivery option?

@gottalovepluto is correct they do not have stores but will deliver directly from the warehouse.

Enter the zip of the resort and click search.
Pickup will not show stores but if you click on delivery it will then prompt you to start shopping or schedule a delivery.

There are a few Kroger stores in the larger Orlando area but if you use the direct Kroger Delivery service it is not from the stores.

As @eticketplease indicated the Kroger direct deliveries are from a large central distribution center using refrigerated trucks.

How soon is it recommended to place your grocery order from Kroger?

Kroger deliverly may be ordered same-day or you can setup an Advanced Schedule, and pick the date / time in the future.

We have never ordered more than 1 day in advance, and never had an issue getting a delivery window either same day or the next day.

I ordered when we arrived last year and I got the groceries that evening. Worked amazingly well. Ordered a few things a few days later and same thing. Bell Services told me that they really like working with Kroger delivery as they have everything so organized and make it so easy for them. I like that I get my fuel points and it applies my club card for some savings!

There are NO Kroger stores anywhere in the state of Florida. Just the fulfillment center, which is in Lake County right off the turnpike.

Actually they used to have a good number of Kroger Supermarkets in the State of Florida.

The new Kroger Direct Delivery is based on an old Idea from Publix called PublixDirect from the early 2000s. Publix used custom refrigerator trucks, we were part of the pilot, and used it until they abounded the offering.

The facility is in Groveland, and has been ramping up since 2021. They have a large employee base, and lots of automation system (now including bots). It is almost 400,000 sq ft under roof.
