Grocery Delivery to Resort

We are staying at Coronado Springs for 11 nights in April and I've seen stories of other guests buying groceries and having them delivered to the resort, is this something that only US Residents can do?

If anyone has done this from the UK, any recommendations of websites/companies to use would be greatly appriciated!

We won't have a car this time and would be looking to just get a few bits and bobs for the room.

Thanks!

Yep - have used Garden Grocer when staying at OKW. They keep it in their fridge / cupboards and deliver when you want it.

It's a bit dearer than Walmart...but not as dear as going to Walmart and buying loads of things you don't need!

We then topped up from onsite shop.

We used garden grocer too, would recommend, no issues at all. As above poster has said it is pricey but worth it for the convenience.
We don't hire a car so trip to the supermarket not really an option.

We used Garden Grocer. It was pricey and unfortunately when the delivery arrived there were a number of things missing - which we hadn't been advised of. I had to email them to ask where the missing items were and they responded to say they were unable to provide us with the water we'd ordered so they'd refunded the cost of it. It took 5 weeks for our refund to come through!

We have made an order through garden grocer for our trip in May. Straight forward so far.

Walmart have a free delivery thing going on at the moment. Don't have details, just noticed it while on the site earlier. They also do a click and collect grocery thing, so you can collect when passing.

In a few weeks we are using Fairytale Personal Shopper (Beth) to do a grocery order for us. She is on the Dibb, and will deliver to resort. We have used Beth as a parcel holding service before (and we are again) and she is amazing, so easy to contact etc. I would highly recommend.

We also used Beth last month for groceries and parcel holding, she delivered to our villa when we arrived. She is lovely and I'd highly recommend her

I wanted to do this but am unsure about when to book - we arrive late and want delivery ASAP after we get there but I've no idea how long immigration/car hire pick up/drive to villa will take!

It is hard to judge. We flew into Tampa, I thought we'd get to the villa by 8, but the flight was a bit late, I messaged Beth whilst we were in the car to say it would be more like 8.30 and she got there just before we did. She was lovely, and her husband even helped us with unloading our luggage.

Maybe try messaging her and see if she has any suggestions as what is best to do, I know MCO immigration is hard to predict!
