Can we ride it to the park in the morning and home at night, or does it literally only run one way? And if we take it to the park, doesn't it drop off in Tomorrowland? Does that mean we have to walk back to the ticket plaza, or is that a really dumb question and everyone will secretly be laughing at me for asking it. We didn't take the monorail the last time we were there and I don't know exactly where the dropoff and boarding spots are. Thanks again for your help! Also, can we still have groceries delivered to the hotel? Will they drop them off at the front desk or does someone literally have to wait around for the entire time window to sign for them? Thanks everyone!

It runs the "outside" section of the loop - along Harbor and through DCA. You must unload at the stop. The monorail picks up in DTD near the DLH and drops off in Tomorrowland. So yes, you would have to walk back to the entry plaza to rent a stroller.

Just what we did Hope you have fun

The only thing is 1st thing in the morning we were not able to use our Disney Visa free stroller coupon there, had to do it up at the main gate only.

Its Joeysmommy's trip 9/25 DAY 1. She had grocerys delivered from Safeway.com and it sounds like they were at the front desk when she got back to the hotel.
Originally Posted By joeysmommy Hi.. Yes we did have groceries delivered to our room. Right before you leave for your trip change your address to the DLH's address in the user profile on safeway.com (it then becomes vons.com) I believe it is 1150 Magic Way..but double check. Just be sure to change the address back to your own when you get home! I called the hotel's front desk before we left and they said they didn't think it was possible. But then when I spoke to the bell desk(that's who deals with the groceries anyway) they said that they will bring it up to your room. Poor guy..we had a huge order complete with cases of water, pepsi,gatorade etc. Just be careful not order too many perishables that fridge is TINY. If you time it right you can get your order delivered for free if you have a free delivery code coupon for orders $50 or more. But they usually ship for free on orders over $150. I combined my order with my BIL's family who was next door to us at the hotel. If you are a drinker be sure to order some alcohol with your Safeway.com order. It will save you a fortune at the Lost Bar if you mix your drinks in your room. I scheduled the delivery time for the groceries right after the 3pm check-in (4-6pm)since I wasn't sure if our room would ne ready early or not. Around 5:30pm The bell desk called me on my cell phone and asked if I would be heading back to my room soon. We were on our way back so they said to give them a call when we returned and they would bring the delivery up. Worked out great. Will definitely do it again on our next trip.
