Just wondering if anybody here has ever used Garden Grocer or Amazon Prime to deliver groceries to the room. Amazon has a much larger selection (plus, I'm a Prime member) but their delivery service to the resorts seems hit-or-miss.

We have used Prime Now for the last few trips and it has worked well. There were one or two items that weren't available through Prime at the time we placed our order, but we have't had any major issues. We just supplemented from the hotel store if needed.

I used prime now in October and it was pretty easy. They just called ahead of time to make sure I was actually staying at the hotel that day

38 days. What a roller coaster the last couple months have been - on Halloween I fell and suffered a "significant ankle sprain" per my provider. That same day my husband lost his job. It's been a couple of rough months! Fortunately, my husband was able to pick up some work for a farmer with harvest and we paid off our trip. I pushed myself through physical therapy and have been given the all clear from them. Yesterday my husband started a new job - and he will get the time off in January to go on our trip! (apparently, his new boss has a wife who loves Disney so he completely understands - YAY!!) Now I just have to make it until Monday morning when we will reveal the trip to our son. It's been so hard to keep it from him and he has no idea. Anyone else doing a big reveal for Christmas?

Same!!!!!

At this time next moth we will have arrived! WOOT!

Christmas gifts are breaking us. Ugh!

That being said it’s so weird to think 15 days and we’ll be in Disney!! Hopefully the weather stays as nice as it has been in Ohio so we don’t have any flight delays or anything!

@WawaCoffee, I used Garden Grocer last time I was there in November 2017 and it was perfect. I've already placed my order for our January trip. It's well worth the extra cost per item in my opinion! We order water, beer, fruit, and some snacks. Works out perfectly for us. We also use Jet Bags in our luggage to bring hard liquor with us - you can find them on Amazon.

We are there Jan 9 - 16 and staying at Beach Club. There for marathon weekend primarily.

Welcome, @ZellyB! I've added you to the roll call. We are not running in the marathon, but we will be there the same weekend!

@AHullMN, I hope your ankle feels better soon! We did a reveal for Christmas one year when my boys were 7 and 9 - we did a big box wrapped in Disney paper that had balloons that floated out with signs attached saying, "we're going to Disney in XX days!!)! Then we had sweatshirts, t-shirts, pins, and some other dollar store Disney stuff in the box for them to open. We started them off with some scavenger hunt clues to lead them to the box. It was awesome and they were totally surprised!

Got the email today that our magic bands have shipped. Have been concentrating on work, which has been busy, and Christmas, which I’m not ready for, so haven’t allowed myself to get too excited. Did mention to DH when one month came up until we leave. First trip by ourselves since DD was 2 (and she’s 32 now), so I’m a bit excited about making this trip all about us and what we want to do. Does that sound selfish?

We have used Garden Grocer several times. Great service and good selection. I would definitely recommend them!

Not at all - enjoy every minute of it!

Our Magic Bands arrived yesterday! 21 days to go! I’m starting to freak out a little bit! In a good way.

 

[ariane37]

Two days ago DH and I booked a very quick adults only trip for the 20-23rd Right now we're at POFQ but that may change. Looking forward to checking out the Festival of the Arts as last year I only got one night to spend in Epcot during it!

Bands should be coming to you. Magical express might go to your agent if they selected that option. You should be able to see your tracking information on my disney experience for the bands
