Where to buy wine

[foolish-mortal]

We're leaving on the Wish next week. We're staying at the Hyatt MCO and I'm going to spend a day resort hopping at WDW but not going into any parks. Is there someplace either at the airport or in any of the WDW resorts where I can buy full bottles of wine to take on the ship? Hoping for screw top so I don't have to mess with needing an opener. Not looking for high end wine. I like riesling and pinot grigio the best. Thanks for any recommendations!

The deluxe resort gift shops, especially the DVC resorts, usually have wine. Sorry I can’t say whether screw top or all corked!

Are you driving? There is a 7/11 right at 535/536 right before you get on 417 when you leave WDW that has wine. Your cabin host can get you a cork screw.

How are you getting from the Hyatt to the port? We’ve always hired a private car service (spaceport transport but i don’t think theyre in business anymore) and theyll make a stop at Publix on the way - we’ve always done that and picked up wine and whatever else.

I won't have a car and we're using DCL shuttle from Hyatt to port.

All the resort shops sell wine, but a limited selection and of course at WDW prices..

We went on the Wish (amazing ship btw) and my dad wanted to bring some also but they have restrictions. We ended up buying on board, they had a nice deal with a nice cooler bag and it wasn’t outrageous.

From the website:

You might be able to buy an unopened bottle of wine from the restaurant at the MCO Hyatt? You can call and ask.

I buy the Jet Bags and check the wine in my luggage on my way to Orlando. I don't want to spend money on an Uber or Instacart. It saves me money as I have a bottle for the hotel.

The Polynesian sells wine. And as mentioned-Disney prices. You can request a corkscrew from your stateroom host if they happened to be corked.
