Our 8th visit to Walt Disney World is getting
closer and even though we have the Basic Dining Plan--click here to read more about Disney Dining Plans, we still want some snacks
and beverages in our resort room for breakfasts or snacks on the run. We usually pack these items and take them
with, but since our vacation includes a cruise on the Disney Dream before our
Walt Disney World stay, luggage space is at a premium. Garden Grocer.com to the rescue!
We placed our first order with Garden Grocer.com and it was
EASY! I created an on-line account using
our e-mail address and my own password.
This allowed me to shop on-line and place items in “my cart.” (Print and fax orders are also accepted—just check
out the details on the web-site.)
I had actually done some shopping prior by finding items
that we might like and adding them to my “favorites” on the on-line
account. This made the actual shopping
easy, as I added the favorites to my cart.
There is a minimum of a $40 purchase, a $12 delivery fee, a
temporary $1.99 fuel surcharge added to each order until the price of gas
returns to less than three dollars per gallon, and an optional gratuity to add
to the order.
Our delivery will include sunscreen, Mountain Dew—for the
husband, cereal bars, Minute Maid orange juice boxes, granola bars, fresh
pears, and Toy Story and Finding Nemo fruit snacks. Our total before the additional charges came
to $40.02—not bad for having to hit a $40 minimum. Our total after delivery, fuel surcharge, sales
tax, and gratuity ($9) was $65.81.
We were able to designate date and place of delivery. All of the Disney Resorts show up in a pull
down menu and the address of the resort, once selected, was automatically
filled in on the order and delivery screen.
We also selected the time of delivery and there is a text box to include
any special directions. I included that
we were taking Disney transfers from Port Canaveral to our resort in the
special directions section.
You can use a credit card or PayPal to complete your
purchase. We were able to print a copy
of our order after payment and a follow-up e-mail was received with
confirmation and another option to print the order.
Ordering was fast and easy.
Now, we’ll see how the delivery goes once we get to our resort. The impression right now is that Garden Grocer.com will be
an incredible convenience.
