Not the maddest idea as I spotted a couple people do this on our trip.
That’s what I do when I go to New York! I get on the bus with it as the Walmart is in New Jersey. No one cares.
I’d do it in Orlando if I didn’t always have a car.

Jumping on this, how do yougo about doing this?

Garden Grocer do hotel deliveries. I’ve used them lots of times. Works well. Disney just started charging for holding your stuff though. Order early rather than late as you get a discount then.

Other providers also do resort deliveries but I haven’t used them.

I went solo in May and used Uber a lot! You can get wifi at Walmart but you need to stand close to the door (not that this is a problem!)

I never bothered with water as i'm fine with just getting free iced water at QS or filling up my water bottle with the coke freestyle machine at the resort. I did have a lot of shopping bags though and just used a trolley until the uber picked me up and loaded it all in to the car. I managed fine doing it this way but I don't see why you couldn't take a case (it might be more awkward while you are actually shopping to lug it around though!

Personally for ease I would skip the case of water and just get a few bottles that you can refill but that's your choice of course

One thing I did learn going around Walmart solo though is to go to the loo when you get there. I was in there for so long I was desperate by the time i'd finished and had to lug all my bags into the cubical with me!

I go solo and take my cabin suitcase to Walmart every time, so much easier for the heavier stuff like juice etc. I just put it in the trolley.
I bought a 3 SIM card for £15 to use for Uber/Lyfts/using my phone on the buses. First time I’ve done this after reading about it on here and best thing I ever did, was £5 a day on Vodafone before.

Hi, which 3 SIM card did you get? We’re looking for one at the minute and can’t figure out if USA roaming is included in all of them?

Glad I stumbled upon this thread. I Love the suitcase idea! I’ve just been thinking about it being a pain to carry bags from Uber/Lyft to hotel room. We usually have a car and stay in villa, so never thought about it before. My problem is now solved - thanks guys

I got one with the 5GB add on for £15, lasts 30 days. I went into the store and one of the staff got it all sorted for me. I think all their add ons include USA roaming but maybe check in store? I just changed sims in my iPhone once on the magical express and all worked fine.
