There is a fairly new Super Wal Mart on 535. That is pretty close to WDW. I am sure you could ask for a stop there.

I'm not sure whether it's the same Walmart, but the one we went to was awful. Wanted to buy stuff for breakfast in the room--my shopping list was things like fruit, milk, etc. Couldn't find any fruit that everbody would like and looked like I would want to buy and then eat it. No bananas at all. The oranges were expensive and rotten. The apples were dried out, and also, unappetizing. This is much worse than the Walmart near my house, which I don't shop for really the same reason--horrible produce. Winn-Dixie and Publix are fine.

Wal-Mart puts Americans out of good paying jobs! Shop at Winn-Dixie, Publix or anywhere else! JMHO

I think the closest supermarket to Disney is Goodings, across the street (Rte 535) from the outer end of Hotel Plaza Blvd that leads to Downtown Disney. Also an easy off easy on from I-4, interchange north quadrant. This supermarket is quite expensive.

There are also little convenience stores on 192, many near Disney. The food at these seems to be highly variable in quality, what stood out in my mind were some plums that looked OK from the outside but turned out to be old, their skins tough and dry, the innards limp.

Nashua NH's planning board recently rejected a new Wal-Mart in town five miles from another Wal-Mart in the next town. Traffic congestion was cited as a problem. I can just see, had the project been approved, a bulge in traffic as people brought back big screen TV's for return credit after the Super Bowl game, and those customers fuming at multiple light cycle delays going home because Wal-Mart's planners agreed to just ten seconds of green in a two minute cycle in an effort to get the project approved, where ten seconds was said to be enough for normal shopping days. "Visit when it is less crowded", Disney has not yet gotten around to saying to day guests as it mulls over plans to start charging for fast passes.

There is a Winn Dixie and a Publix on 535. I find the produce at the Super Wal Mart on 535 to be very nice.
