Limo and grocery stop

[rbalcom]

Is this still the best way to go? I got some great advice from this board for our trip two years ago about using a limo service, faxing our grocery order and then making a quick stop for everything on the way to the resort. It worked out great. Now they have magical express and something like an on-line grocery delivery service. (I forget what they called it on one of the other boards) I don't want to waste money so advice would be appreciated.

You might get more responses on the transportation board so you might try there but I will give you my opinion...

We continue to use FLTours. We have been satisfied for our last 3 trips. We include the grocery stop - we are done in under 20 mins and have mainly breakfast type stuff - so we don't have to buy breakfast and can eat in our room. We also have some snacks to bring to the Parks. Last time I also bought bread, bologna and cheese and brought sandwiches - worked out great. We still enjoy having someone pick us up and deliver us straight to our resort. The cost was around $100 USD and to us was an acceptible expense.

We used Tiffany Town Car last to do the grocery stop and get to the resort and really liked it. Much faster than Magical Express. Driver was waiting by the luggage area with a sign with our name on it, helped with the luggage and we were on our way. The only reason we're not doing it this year is we are staying offsite for a few days beforehand and will have a rental car.....so no need.

I've already reserved with Fl Tours. We used them before and were really pleased. Definitely worth it. Just wanted to know if Magical Express had changed anyone's plans.

We used Fl tours last time and it went fairly well, our driver was about 20 minutes late at the airport. We are trying Magical Express in November, so we will see how that goes. For every bad thing I read, there are some good ones and probably a bunch that were just okay with it.

Been doing the grocery stop for years now (with Tiffany), and just love it! For us, it's the only way to go!

We did grocery stops with limos when bottled water in the parks was more expensive. I think now it's about $2, so it's a little more reasonable (and the exchange is lower as well).

I also liked doing the grocery stop to grab all of the stuff they don't sell in Canada ... Tabasco Habanero Sauce, Mud n' Bugs and Doritos Guacamole (I still think the ones here don't taste the same) etc.
