There's even a Subway over there, if you want to get sandwiches there. Please note - my friends and I agreed this last trip that for an ABC, it was kinda spendy. The liquor in there was outrageous!

Originally Posted By MickeyChick Nope, no car, but thanks for trying to help. Sounds like we'll have plenty of options. We used to bring our own bottled water from home in our carry on bags, but can't do that any more. :\ Instead we'll get to pay 10x as much to buy some down there.

We did that last time we went to Disney World.
Originally Posted By MickeyChick Wow, that's a great idea! I had never thought of that before. It would just be a matter of getting the timing right, so that it was delivered on the right day.

If they have a wide mouth, you can refill them with ice and filtered water at self-service restaurants, like Rancho, Redds, Whitewater, and the new one at Paradise Pier. The water from the soda fountains tastes pretty good, and with ice, nice and cold. Walmart has nice aluminum bottles with straws (don't have to open the bottle to drink) and coordinating neoprene sleeves which prevents condensation and keeps the water cold. You can take these in your carry-on, have them filled at the airport (Starbucks will do it no problem) and don't have to spend big bucks on wasteful plastic water bottles.

I'd bring bottles to save me the trouble, even if they're just used, empty plastics.

Just go to www.albertsons.com for information, and a list of all items they will deliver. Albertson's will deliver to your hotel with a minimum purchase of $25.00 and a $9.00 delivery charge. You simply place your order, give the delivery address and a credit card number and the order will be delivered. Before placing the order call your hotel to find out their policies. For example, do you need to be there when the groceries arrive? Will they store them for you? If you have cold items, such as milk, can they refrigerate? All of this is important to know before you make arrangements for delivery and each hotel could have a different policy on grocery deliveries.
