What are my options?
1) Costco, cheapest, may cancel order three days later
2) Staples, all water out of stock, anyone order from them lately?
3) Garden grocer, need $40 min, which is a pain
4) anywhere else?
Be aware too if you're staying at a convention resort (ie. Yacht/Beach Club, Contemporary/etc...) the resort now charges a $10 service charge for delivered water... found out the hard way in August while staying at the Beach Club
If you go to www.officedepot.com and do a search for "Food" you will find about 350 items in nine categories, including water (as low as $6.00 per 24 x 0.5l bottles). They have a minimum purchase for next business day free delivery of $50, but if you look through the snacks, cookies, ready-to-eat, etc., you should have no problem meeting the minimum.
I suspect an increasing number of vendors will be discontinuing delivery to hotel guests.
An increasing number of posters report being charged a package acceptance charge by Disney.
I think the Hess mini-mart is the best solution. Bring a duffel bag, back pack or small roller suitcase to bring stuff back. Take a taxi back to your resort if you want to buy a lot of stuff.
I ordered mine Tuesday from Costco and it's being delivered to POP tomorrow. I read somewhere that Turner Pharmacy charges a $5.00 flat rate to deliver water.
I ordered from Costco on a Monday. It was delivered on Thursday. We arrived on Sat. Sept 12th and it was in our room when we checked in. No problems at all.
