Where to get medications nearby??

[AndreAggie]

I'm a type A planner and always over pack for the "what-ifs" that can occur on a trip. We've been on several disney cruises so I ALWAYS pack every medication known to man because of limited availability in the middle of the Caribbean. However, this time around we're staying at the Grand Californian and I'm wanting to know if there's anywhere nearby in walking distance where I can go grab something like sinus or stomach meds for adults and kids?? I know there's a CVS at Harbor/Katella, but that's almost a mile walk (I could always Uber). Is there anything in Downtown Disney?

The gift shop in the lobby of the Grand Californian stocks basic over the counter medications.

Beyond the bare basics that the hotel gift shop will have the nearest places are the CVS and Walgreens which are on opposite sides of the Harbor/Katella intersection.

Seconded. 10 minute walk or so.

Thanks!

Yeah, I know of the CVS and Walgreens. We've stayed at the Springhill connected to the CVS. I just like to be prepared in the event we need to go grab something. I'm trying to pack for a week in a carry-on and a backpack so just taking necessities.

"The Cove" store inside the front of the Tropicana Hotel near the middle of Harbor has a decent supply of drug store type incidentals.
I've popped in there at 2:00 AM for things.

From what I've seen in the gift shop at the Grand, I wouldn't worry. Unless you are brand specific in your needs, you will be fine.
