I'm working on my ever changing grocery list. Jenna offered to take us to the store on our first full day but with 'Ohana reservations at 5:00 for the 11 of us, I don't see us having time during the day. We'll be checking out of AoA and into the THV. That right there will take some time. But the 20% fee but delivery is going to be expensive.
You won't, unless you want to give up your park day, or most of it. The reality is moving resorts easily loses an hour, and up to 3 depending on how you do it. By the time you pack up, get stuff to bell services, even if you go straight to a park you still have to then check in at the new resort and get settled so the whole process is an hour at least, on the very short side. I find when we move resorts we end up with at best a half day to play and the rest is moving, eating and getting settled.

I agree. It does seem high. I just got a 25% off coupon for Disney parks shopping. I might be able to do it cheaper and sneak it to bell services to be delivered with our luggage at the THV though it wouldn't be arrival night which is what I prefer or carry it on somehow. 
I thought it seemed high. She's already started working on it but I'm guessing until she PayPals me, I'm under no obligation? I'm going to go online and price it out and see what the price is.
you might want to tell her to hold off as you are considering some changes so she doesn't actually purchase anything. But yeah, utnil you get an invoice you aren't really obligated.
Seems to me at most with what you describe you've got $100 worth of items. Even if you bought it all separately and shipped it directly to the resort it'd be less than what she is quoting. I'd probably try to go that route if you can find everything you want online. You can pack wrapping supplies, I did that in 2009 lol.
I agree, nothing like coffee out of a real mug. I love the ceremony of it. It just feels right!
I want to see Kelly's quote too. Her 20% with a delivery fee is going to be $$$. I just need to weigh out our time shopping vs her charges. I hate this stuff.
Really, you think that's a lot of sugar? I guess it doesn't include all the delicious park garbage we'll consume.
nah, not really, just giving you a hard time! Here's what I'd do.
Mock up the order using garden grocer, it will give you a good feel for your total cost. Kelly, with her service fee comes in about the same it's just far more personalized with brands, sizes etc. You might find things you can tweak or change. If it helps, here is my list, I paid $166.

and order, or buy these as they are breakable or perishable. Since you don't need meat the first night, is there another day Jenna could run you to the store? So for example if you got everything but meat and beer though Kelly, that might get the $$ down to a reasonable amount for delivery and let you pick what you want on those items but still get the bulk of the food there your first full day to make for a nice first THV morning.

I should have the cake info at home. I "think" $75 plus service and delivery. Not cheap. But it was split between 5 of us so not bad and totally worth it.
try this
link and this
link, they have some good info on how to start the process. Ours fell under the "fancy fondant" category. LOL!
But I'm afraid fruit, bread, and milk will stay less than fresh as well as having to freeze and defrost meat. 
home!!! Dates please? 
I added it to the updated itinerary. My brain is fried. M's schedule is insane the next four weeks and the panic is setting in. I'm not a great single parent. 
He starts a 96* hour shift tomorrow which is just horrible. He will be home next Friday and Saturday. He leaves for Africa on the 2nd until late the night of the 14th. He's home the 15th. Back at the FD the 16th and then off to a photoshoot on the 17th until the night of the 21st. Back to the FD for a 48* on the 22nd and then home on the 24th. Can you imagine?! I'll be tagging along though to Nantucket on Sept 18 and we'll fly home together the 21st. 
I'm the horrible mother whose ditching her kids during the third week of school.
I have traveled in them too. I love me some valour. That's a little embarrassing to say. I like dresses too. With a little cardigan for the plane. But my favorite is jeans on the plane with a t shirt and zipper hoodie. 
I'm such a jeans person. And flip flops, always flip flops but I carry a pair of socks on me because I can't stand to have cold feet. I think I sound high maintanence. 
I think I'm going to do the groceries and cake from her and gift basket from Betsy unless Kelly's price is better. I wonder if they travel to the parks for items? I'd love to include the WS passports. Betsy gave me some cute ideas.
My packing list includes:
I choose GF! 
Did they have fruit? Was it decent? 
If not, pretend I didn't ask.
