Bottles of water and snacks delivery

We arrive into Orlando quite late on our first day and we're wondering if it will be easier to get water and some snacks delivered to our hotel rather than go in search of some.

Can you recommend a place to do this?

My other option is to find somewhere we can grab some but we probably won't get to our hotel (Radisson LBV) until after 9pm.

Do the big gift shops sell bottles of water? There's a big gift shop right next door to our hotel.

Thank you!

Not sure why people buy bottled water

search ebay for " chilly bottle " the copies cost about £10 each, when in the parks either use the water fountains or ask for some iced water at any QS place

The bottle necks are wide enough to take the ice cubes, the water will stay chilled in it all day

I doubt a giftshop would sell a case of water, maybe individual bottles. Most Walgreens and CVSs are open to at least nine,often 10 or 11. I just googlerd CVS and there are 2 close to Disney in LBV. One is open 24 hours, the other til midnight. Supermarkets are often open until 11.

I don't know where in LBV you are but you should find something opened. For a quick run in CVS or Walgreens, if you are up for a longer stop a supermarket

We personally buy bottled as the water can taste quite bad around the park.

We always get the massive slabs of water from Walmart for the same price as 2 bottles in the parks. we must get through about 3-4 slabs of these in two weeks but we do drink a lot of water generally.

I’ve read a few times about Walmart pick and collect service, will you have a car?
If not one of the delivery services recommended on here maybe worthwhile.

Or signing up for the free US amazon prime trial and using that.

I wouldn’t buy from the gift stores unless to get you through the first night/day as they are much pricier.

You could also water in packs of 24 or so from a gas station.

I normally buy a case of water more for drinking at the hotel and I take one out first thing when I go out.
Personally I like to take an Uber to Walmart pick up a case of water and few other bits.

Have a look on Google Earth and see what is around the hotel. I had a quick look and it looks like there’s a gas station across the street ...

We always arrive late and exhausted from our travel so prefer to have some groceries delivered for our arrival - it allows for something before bed and no need to rush in the morning (we stay in a resort villa off site). I use the Fairytale Shopper.

infact we said we would have grabbed all our snacks and water from the gas station next to HS
