I presume you got Garden Grocer? Did you get it delivered to your room or delivered before you arrived and left with bell services? I'm thinking of ordering a few things but unsure which to do.

We are also looking into doing a Garden Grocer order as we will be at POFQ without a car and wanting a few things especially water. How long in advance did you do your order?

Having a great time, so tired though now, we need a bit more rest time added to the schedule! So Garden Grocer I registered on their website maybe 2-3 months before we went and you can immediately fill a cart and book a delivery date/time window. They have a good online range of stuff albeit not the whole works, ordering further in advance can bring a slightly bigger discount. You can name your hotel as delivery location and if not there they should leave it at worst with reception! Plan a is you're around and they call your mobile when they arrive. Despite our arriving 2 hours after the window everything of ours arrived except some milk which was my bad as when the hotel asked if we had anything chilled I forgo about the milk and said no. Sure it was in a fridge behind reception somewhere.

The one thing I did do was leave a tip at the top of the suggested range. The delivery driver should get this and I figure they're your VIP when you've just come off a long flight. In our case we arrived a couple of hours after the slot and a quick call to reception at POFQ and they brought it up (another small tip there but still cheaper than buying water etc in a hotel). Hope this helps

I suspect the sausages were better but I couldn't face any more. It happens with me and blueberries on Day 2 thought I was going to turn into the chewing gum girl off Charlie and the Chocolate factory (Verruca Salt.?).

God apple autocorrect is dangerous it just changed one letter in gum to make it something filthy lucky I spotted it!

Glad your having a fab time, and take that rest if you need it, the schedule can always be altered if needs be

Thnx for all that re Garden Grocer. Do you have to notify the hotel that something is going to get delivered? If so, how do you do that please?

Change the schedule, never nah we're realising that pretty quickly. I didn't notify the hotel it was coming but it comes back to me now that I did check the garden grocer FAQ which explains it. Hopefully via this link gardengrocer/questions and a search on disney you can see all the hotels they deliver to I've no idea if it's all of them so good memory prompt thx.

Gotta run, off to Narcoosees
