Ordering water to resort

[KatAlysmom]

Is it possible to order water thru Amazon to a WDW Resort when we are Canadian? I just tried to order from home for a delivery in the USA and got a message that this was not an option. I was just thinking it would be nice to have a couple of cases of cheap water bottles lugged to our room by someone else. Any ideas?

I used Instacart (which is through Publix) last year and it worked out fine. You could also use a service like Garden Grocer, but they are a bit pricier.

There are many options. See this thread:

As above, I have used Publix Instacart and Garden Grocer. Of the two, I would recommend the former as they are much cheaper.

Thanks for the info. So, no for amazon delivery? I have a Canadian membership.

To use Amazon Prime / Prime Pantry / Prime Now in the US, you have to have a US Amazon Prime membership, your Canadian one won't work.

No, you need a US Amazon Prime Now account.

We just returned. I set up a trial Amazon Prime Now account, using our US hotel as my address (JW Marriott Grande Lakes), and delivery worked just fine - our order was waiting at the hotel when we arrived, and even perishables were in insulated foil bags. This is the second year in a row we've used Amazon Prime Now for food and snack orders for a WDW trip (last year we were on property - same approach and same result).

There will be a minimum spend for your order to qualify for free delivery though (I believe it's $35).

This worked for me, but seems to be hit and miss overall based on comments in this thread and other threads on this topic. Good luck.

I really only want water for our trip this summer but I plan to just pick it up at the resort, my understanding is they have cases of 12 bottles for 5 or 6 dollars.

Hi Hon
I just checked for Old Key West Resort (my home resort) and they have
Dasani Water 8 pack 12 oz for $4.49,,,I just buy a big bottle of water and keep refilling the small ones,,also a small bottle comes with the kids QS meals too.(love those little bottles for traveling in the parks).

Thanks, everyone! We have the DDP so I don't think we will need much more than water. Maybe we should just keep filling up our refillable mugs with water every time we go back to the room.

We always use the refillable mug for what we are going to drink with meals and then get a bottle of water as part of the meal. Obviously only possible when at a resort but we somehow manage to accumulate many bottled drinks on the DDP.

The resort food courts, and many gift shops, sell cases of bottled water. The cost for 24 is around $15.....not sure of the exact size of the bottles but it's not the little ones that come with a kids meal, it's the size that comes with an adult meal. Even though $15 is pricey it's decent considering a few things.....if you get someplace like Amazon to deliver you have to pay the resort to accept your package, if you used a service like Garden Grocer they charge a fee to shop for you, cases of water cost a lot more in the USA than what we pay at home, and buying 24 single bottles at WDW would cost over $75.

Buying a case at the resort sounds like the best option for us, thanks! I never knew it was a possibility.

Sometimes you have to get a manager because the cashiers don't know how to deal with it. Some of the resort food courts have the cases sitting in the beverage cooler while others you have to ask someone you get it for you. Same goes for gift shops.

I will be there in five weeks and plan to add 24 water to our order through Instacart. But ... I order my beer, Plum wine for the wife (same as Chinese Pavilion), breakfast and lunch supplies plus snacks. We do get QS once per day (or Uber Eats) plus the refillable mugs for the resort. So my order runs $100 to $150 per week. I order once at the start of the tip and then again at Midpoint (day 6,7 or 8). Usually we do two week stays. Other alternatives like Garden grocer are good ideas. For me .... reasonable tasting water is important to my hydration and without it, I spend too much at the Parks on water, beer and or other drinks. Water saves us big $.
