Water shipped to Resort??

[jeniamt]

We arrive at the Poly a week from Friday and I am still confused about having water shipped to the resort. I think I have read every post on the subject but still can't figure out the best method. We are huge water drinkers and I would like to have 2 cases delivered for our 4 night stay. Please, please, please let me know your opinion on the best, current, method. I guess I am confused as some of the posts are nearly a year old and some said they didn't think Costco or Staples delivered to the resorts any longer. They are clearly the cheapest but I want to make sure it is still a viable method. Plus, I would really like to have the water there when we get our room. I am sure we will be parched after our flight!

Thanks for your help! I would love to be able to cross this off my list of "to-do's" before we go!

Hi...we always order our water from Garden Grocer. We drink alot of water, too, plus I like to have some yogurt, a little fruit and some Gatorade on hand in the room, as well. I don't feel their prices are overly expensive and they always deliver on time and without issue. We always stay at the Wilderness Lodge and haven't ever had a problem receiving our order.

I haven't ever ordered from Costco or Staples, so I don't know how they compare to GG price-wise, but because I order a few other items, GG has always been the best choice for us. We plan to use them again this year. Have fun on your trip!

Last year we ordered from Turner Drugs. They do have a minimum order dollar amount but I think it's lower than the minimum from Garder Grocer. We got cases of water, Dr. Pepper, etc. The order was waiting for us at the Poly when we checked in and bell services loaded up their little truck and delivered it to our room. Worked out great.

We used Garden Grocer for our last trip. We thought they we're resonable, $5 for 24 bottles if I remember correctly.
Our order was delievered before we even got to our resort. They called to let us know it was there while we were on the Magic Express from the airport.

Garden Grocer gets good reviews but they have a min. $40 order plus a $12 delivery fee. If you're looking to order just water, some people have mentioned they have gotten it off Amazon.

Thanks for everyone's help. I ended up ordering a case of water of off Amazon. This last week got away from me and now its almost midnight Monday (we arrive Friday) and I still hadn't made a decision. I found a case of water that could be delivered free with my Prime Membership and will arrive on Thursday. With our arrival so close, I couldn't take a chance with the other delivery options. I will report back once we are home and let everyone know how it went!

We are back from another great trip to Disney and I just wanted to let you guys know that ordering the water from Amazon went great. The water was a little more expensive than some of the other options but we are prime members so we didn't pay shipping and there was no minimum to purchase. Plus, I ordered the water so close to our arrival date, I was left with fewer options. When we arrived, I mentioned the package to the front desk and they said they could have it delivered to our room. I was soooo thirsty, I asked if we could take it ourselves and in less than a minute she brought us the box. Worked great, would highly recommend.

Thanks again for everyone's input!!!

That's good to know about Amazon. Thanks. I wonder if I could add in some snacks to them....

Great to know! Thanks for the update.

Do you have to be a Costco member for this?

I just ordered water from Sam's Club for 6.98 (that includes the shipping) on Monday. According to my tracking number it is scheduled for delivery today. We check in on Friday.

i am so glad we as a family are not water snobs. We buy 1 bottle of water each. and just refill from the tap, and refreeze at night for use during the day at the parks.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I ordered water from Costco Wednesday night (the 15) and I got confirmation that it was shipped to the Polynesian and will be there on Monday the 20th! Now, let's just hope it's there when we arrive on the 22nd and something doesn't happen between now and then with shipping or delivery!

We're not Costco members, so we had to pay an additional fee, bringing the $6.95 case of water to $7.30. Not too bad at all!

Can anyone tell me how you order from Turner Drug? I want to compare their prices. Thanks!
