Sorry for the new thread vs posting in the shipping sticky, but some of that info seemed a bit out of date and I have a variety of cross-topic questions.
We will be staying at the Boardwalk and planning on using Amazon Prime Pantry (not Prime Now) since only Pantry has inventory of the items we need. We’ve used Pantry at home before (so I know you have to order like a week in advance, for example), but we’ve never had anything shipped to us at WDW before. I understand that we’ll probably be charged a fee by Disney; that’s fine.
Here are my questions:
1. The addresses I see for Boardwalk Inn always include North Epcot Resorts Boulevard, however Amazon keeps insisting that the “North” is not a valid address, and leaves that part off. Has this been other folks’ experience?
2. BWI has a convention center, so my understanding is that packages are normally delivered to the business center. The problem is the business center is closed on Sundays and that’s when we arrive. An old post claimed we’re out of luck in this situation and we can’t get our package until Monday... is this still true? I can try to schedule the order so it actually arrives on the Friday before if that helps.
3. If a package is delivered to the business center, can you still somehow get assistance delivering it to the room? I’m imagining us trying to carry one of those big awkward pantry boxes through the hallway ourselves, lol.
4. Given the potential timing issues with Pantry, my “backup plan” was to just go with Garden Grocer or Instacart. The biggest complaint I’ve heard about GG is high prices... that aside, is their service still good? On a more specific (and random) note, do their “store brand” baked goods come from a particular store? Instacart seems to have a wider selection coming from a store of my choice, but I’ve heard more negative stories about their deliveries and customer service.
TIA for any advice or recent experiences with any of these services.
