Can you please tell me where the closest Publix is to Saratoga Springs Resort? I normally go to the one down by Gaylord Palms but was looking to make a stop on way to resort from airport.

Thanks!

There is a Publix at the intersection of SR 535 and Highway 192.

It's no closer than the one near Gaylord Palms.

There is also a Publix on Sand Lake Road, which is just off I 4....but again...no closer than the other one.

There is a Winn Dixie on Apopka Vineland Road about 1.5 miles past the entrance to Hotel Plaza Blvd.

There is also a Goodings in the Crossroads. (nasty nasty place with bad service and a dirty store)

Thanks Kevin! We used to go to the Winn Dixie but the traffic would be terrible sometimes in that area....and you are not kidding about Goodings.

I will just stick with the one that I know!

If you are using the north entrance to IOA (528) there is a new Publix at exit #2, Universal Ave across from Shingle Creek Resort. Last two times I have been in this store I see that the car service companies that offer a 30 minute shopping upon arrival are stopping here. This is a very clean store and has only been open for several months now. Another option if you are using the 417 (south exit to IOA) there is a Publix about 1/2 mile south of the 417 at John Young Parkway.

Kevin-

Just curious. We usually go to the Publix on Vineland at Int'l Dr. We take exit 6 off 417 to Int'l Dr, then head into WDW on World Center Dr. Is this store one of the ones you mentioned? Should I be using a closer one instead?

Anyone want to help me out finding the nearest Target. I'll be staying at a vacation home near 192 and Scherbeth Road (spelling??). I am working for Target now and could use my discount down there as well on some items we will need for our upcoming trip.

There is a new super Target about 1/4 east of 535 on 192.

There's an even newer Super Target on 192 at the 429 intersection so depending on where you are staying that one could be even closer to you.

I think there is a Publix on the right just before Orange Lake on the other side of the 429 if my memory serves me correct.

 

[colaboy29]

Yes. There's a Publix plaza on the other side of 192.

I agree that the Goodings is Nasty!

When I was at WDW in May I went to the Winn Dixie. It was clean and they were friendly. (traffic was not bad at all but I went at 10:30 am). I was purchasing soda, water, breakfast foods, fruit, snacks and wine. The prices were reasonable. At check out, the nice cashier asked if I had a Winn Dixie card. I did not, so she had me sign a form and I had one in 30 seconds (saved me about $20.00). She then noticed that I was buying 4 bottles of wine. She told me that with my card I could get 10% off of the wine if I purchased 6 bottles. I mentioned that that was more wine then we would drink. She looked at my selections and let me know that 2 of my choices were on a buy one get one free special. She sent the bagger to get two more. I ended up saving 10% plus having 2 more bottles of wine. I call that customer service!!

When I checked into the Swan, I was chatting with the gal at Check In. I joked that I had just purchased too much wine for this trip, please make my room easy to locate. (I booked a basic no view room). She asked me what wines I purchased since she was taking a wine tasting class. I told her and she noted that one of theReds was one she wanted to try. I had my friend go get it for her. We finished checking in. When we went to the room, it was a corner, balcony, with an Epcot, Illuminations view. Score!

Thank you Winn Dixie. Thank you Swan. Excellent service!!

Okay I was just on the Publix site and there is a Store Locator section you can type in the address of your resort and it will give you the closest locations. There was one that was about 4 miles from SSR but only open until 10:00pm which we would not make. So we are going to try to hit the one at 2925 International Drive which is 6 miles away but open until 11:00pm. Not sure if this is the same one that we have always gone to by Gaylord Palms or not but I was able to print out directions from their site.
