Yes Joe is great. I was sad to learn he had left when we had our summer HHI trip.

I hope your HHI visits have someone just as great. He was an awesome contact. Cares about the resort.

Has there been an update on the OKW refurbishment schedule for 2026, like specific dates?

No specific start date yet. Best part being separate buildings they will go in area phases & wont affect stays much.

That's really the nice thing about OKW being broken into so many buildings, they can do refurbishments in phases and not disturb too many plans, as well as the parking close to your rooms. I don't drive it as often as I used to, but it sure is nice for when I do drive down.

I have used many grocery delivery options over the years but Kroger was undeniably the best imo. With them going out of business what does everyone else use for grocery delivery? Has anyone tried Target?
We are arriving late and I know bell services will store the cold items just not sure if Target will have things separated correctly to be placed in cold storage.

I have WalMart +, which gives free delivery, so I order from WalMart. Before I had that app I used Amazon/Fresh/Whole Foods.

We just did a Walmart+ order yesterday to OKW and had a great experience!

All the delivery services make it a matter of course to separate the cold things, even if you're just delivering to your home in my experience. So use whatever is convenient for you. I use Target because I have their membership for now. I doubt I'll renew it, so in the future I'll probably use Instacart or something if I need delivery in the future.

Thanks but that's not been my experience so far with Target as I have had cleaning supplies bagged with Frozen items before or yogurt and cereal in the same bag.
I also have Target 360 that I won't be renewing but was wondering if it was worth a shot to try them in the Orlando area.

Thanks @Chuck S @figmentfinesse for the WM+ Suggestion. I don't really shop at that store but willing to give it a shot or go back to one of the businesses that the laid off cast members started during the pandemic.

I don't know about in your area but in Orlando, Target contracts with Shipt for same-day grocery delivery. The drivers I've had that shop my order do a good job bagging everything separately to make it easy for bell services.

Target actually owns Shipt so that is how it is done nationwide but it must just be that our drivers apparently don't follow the proper procedures with bagging I guess.

Glad to know Orlando shoppers do a great job with separating and bagging like items so it sounds like I can take a chance with them based on your experience.

It may be that the drivers in Orlando know the procedures that bell services expects so they just do it by default. I don't order delivery much at home but when I have they've bagged everything separately then as well though.
