Transfer from resorts with food

[Anna114]

I noticed a thread close to mine but I didn't want to hijack the thread since I have other questions

1. Garden Grocer or Wego shop. Anyone have a preference? I haven't used either.

2. We are staying at the cabins the first 4 days of our trip and then transferring to VWL.

a. Would you have the food delivered at the cabins or at VWL?
b. Has anyone ever had food transferred from one resort to another? Would they refrigerator it?..... thinking not.

My thought was to bring a couple of cold packs with us. Pack our cold food in a separate suitcase that we would bring ourselves (I'm only talking milk, butter, cheese and such), not have Disney transport it. There is the potential of up to 5 hours before the food makes it back to a frig. We are going the 3rd week of August (value season) so I don't anticipate that long a time between rooms.

3. While this is a DVC board has anyone used the BBQ's at the cabins? Is it propane or is it charcoal?

Any input anyone has would be truly appreciated. We are very new to DVC May '09. Our last trip (our first for DVC) was last week for 5 days so that doesn't count. My son and husband are looking to do a 2 week trip each year and we don't like to eat out all of the time. That having been said we only have enough points for a studio, FOR RIGHT NOW just another reason for more points. It really is a sickness. Since May of 2009 we have made a total of 3 transactions LOL.

TIA for any ideas.

My family will be doing the same thing in February if my wait list doesn't go through.....I don't know about moving food....
I have used Garden Grocer and loved their service. They did a great job! Everything was in good shape, and the prices, although more expensive than what I pay at home, were much more reasonable then any groceries on sight.
We used the BBQ at the cabins a few years ago. They were charcoal then. I don't know if they have changed since. Hope this helps some! Have a great trip!

I can answer this one for you. We have transferred groceries with Bell Service from BWV to AKV, and they will refrigerate. We just kept the boxes the food was delivered in and kept all the cold stuff together and let the bell hops know. Then we picked up food up nice and cold later that night when we finally made the transfer ourselves.

While I long to hear more responses, this is huge. I never thought they would move the food for us. I know there are so many people who can use this information.

Thanks for the great info. It's just what I needed.
