Supermarkets / Shops near Disney

Pantaloons · 13 Jan 17, 12:50 AM

First time in Orlando this year, staying on-site at the All Star Movies Resort for two weeks. Likely we wont be hiring a car, so what would be the closest shops for stocking up on refreshments / snacks to leave in the rooms.

Ive seen previous threads mention a Wal-Mart within driving distance, but might be out of reach unless we Uber. Anything close to Disney ?

If you're not hiring a car then you're only options are really having an order delivered (a lot of people use Garden Grocer) or hiring a taxi or Uber to and from the nearest Walmart or similar. There is nothing in walking distance and the shops on site are normally quite expensive.
You could however take cereal, crackers, snacks etc with you as long as you declare it at Customs - we always take some as DH needs gluten-free and saves hunting for it. You will either just get waved through at Customs or have to have the case scanned but only adds a few minutes on.

the nearest walmart must be about 15 mins from ASmovies ( maybe slightly less )

the nearest Super target from AKL is under 10 mins, so you could get the disney transport back one day from the parks to AKL and then get a cab

I suppose it depends what snacks you want. We take cereal bars and cereal with us (my dd doesn't like US cereals) and then get milk etc from the hotel shop. If you only want a few things it may not be worth a trip to Walmart but if you are after a lot, then fair enough.

I did a garden grocer order that was waiting for us when we arrived on site at CBR. Really handy but you have to spend a certain amount. We also took a taxi to Walmart, we used mears and it cost $20 each way but hadn't heard of uber which we will definitely use this year.

$20 each way is not too bad, its 5 bottles of soda / water in the parks
