Did you ever get your answer? I would assume no, since you do have to have military or govt. ID to enter property. Additionally the return is in their parking garage which requires a room key to enter that gate. I think it would be easier to return to the car care center on property which is in that same area and is convenient. We've returned their before and it was quick and convenient. SOG would be a bigger hassle IMO.
as PP have listed, Amazon Prime Now and GG are fantastic, I've used both. Last family trip, we actually cancelled GG as I found it to be about $67 cheaper (family of 7, one week of groceries) to go through Amazon Prime Now. I was a little sad because I liked supporting GG, and they ahve great discounts for ordering early, but the cost difference was way too significant for us. This is completely dependent upon the items you're ordering, and Amazon has a different delivery fee (can be free at $35 I believe, whereas GG is free around $200?) but either delivery fee is not a large amount. The nice part about Amazon is being able to set your delivery time in one hour (fee) or two hours (can be free), if you have a last-minute item you need. We literally ordered on the way from MCO last time. Garden Grocer saves money by ordering earlier. Amazon can have availability limitations but does have fresh fruit, milk, alcohol (21+ w/ ID) etc.
Not sure if this is much help, but when we went in April my DH (active duty) purchased the Memory Maker and it was on his MDE. We purchased it at MK, actually at a small building/hut right in front of guest relations, after standing in the guest relations line and told it's not there (in the past we did purchase at guest relations). We had magic bands we used for the photos for scanning with the picture takers throughout the parks. If not, I suppose there could be a card to give them. We had issues with me viewing the photos at first while we were there, and couldn't figure out since we have each other linked on MDE, so we stopped by the guest relations while at Epcot and they showed us a few buttons in his MDE account to change and then I could instantly see the same photos, but I could just view it. I don't think I was able to download them, but then again he downloaded them to the computer so it's not something I even had to consider or play around with. So, I'm not certain on the downloading aspect if you aren't the person that purchased.
We used Instacart, it went through Publix. They delivered to the front of the hotel where the valet is, they sent a note they were on their way and DH picked it up there (we had purchased alcohol too so I believe that's why he had to meet them, or it possibly could have just been dropped off). Not sure on the nearest grocery or the full gallon, don't recall the space available for that in the minifridge.
It will greatly depend on when in January you're talking about. We've done January trips multiple times, and it CAN be much less crowded. That said, if you're coming the week of Marathon,
I haven’t used a ECV there but did have people with mobility issues. For monorail parks we took the shady shuttle to the end of the property to the Polynesian. The last trip my grandmother could not make the walk back that route so we took the bus back.
I just left Saturday morning; I don’t recall ever seeing this channel.
Same thing happened to me. I contacted Disney directly, was referred back to SOG, and was informed that, in fact, it is a glitch in the system, and that they are "working on it". My "balance" was around five grand...
Good grief that is some glitch!
I hope they fix it.
I just stood in the Palm Wing and my room was refurbished from what it was last June. I wish I had seen this last week, as I would have taken a picture of the schedule for you.
