Helium balloons

Morning!
Does anyone know if the big supermarkets do helium balloons? Or if there is a party shop in the lake buena vista area?
Thanks!

Previously I have bought some out of dollar shop but that was for birthdays and Father's Day when we where there.
Hopefully someone will know if you can get from another shop.

When I tried to buy birthday balloons 2 weeks ago, Dollar Tree were out of helium. There is some kind of supply issue/shortage going on. It isn't just Dollar Tree as in February I couldn't even get them in Party City! They were around in April though so very hit or miss.

OP there aren't any party shops in Lake Buena Vista but Publix do have them. Will you have a car to try a few different places if needed? TBH for a wedding you might want to order them unless they aren't too important to you. My daughters' weren't too impressed not to have birthday balloons this year.

Publix and Party City still have helium but there is a global supply problem. It a a non-renewable source and used in MRI imaging amongst other things so I think it�s just going to get harder to find for balloons.

Thanks all that�s really helpful! I was thinking dollar tree but wasn�t sure, going to go there for a few kids bits so will try get balloons. If we can�t get helium its fine, would just be preferable 😄

Be careful if you are staying in a villa, if you are our and the AC comes on it moves the balloons and can set the alarm off

We had this happen in our UK house too! I learned never to leave a balloon in a room with a motion sensor even without A/C.
