Save Time By Getting Groceries Delivered To Your DVC Resort



One of the biggest benefits of staying at a DVC Resort is that your room comes equipped with a fully functional kitchen rendering it possible to whip up a few delicious meals while on vacation. Cooking even just a few meals can save precious time and money when traveling with a family. And even if meal prep isn’t your idea of relaxing while on your Walt Disney World vacation, just having your own stock of snacks and beverages in your villa could save you hundreds of dollars!

However, if you’re like many Disney visitors and you don’t have access to a car while at the resort or just don’t want to bother spending time perusing the aisles of the supermarket, you’ll be thrilled to know there are several grocery delivery services available in the Walt Disney World area. Here is how to get groceries delivered to your DVC Resort.

How Grocery Delivery Works

Disney has made receiving groceries at your DVC Resort extremely easy and convenient. Simply select one of the services below, place your order and your groceries will be delivered to the Bell Services at your resort. If you’re not available to accept your delivery, the Bell staff will hold and even refrigerate your items for you. 

Things to keep in mind:

  • There are no resort charges for deliveries made to the Bell Services.
  • If you would like your groceries delivered to your room you will be subject to a fee by the resort.
  • If ordering alcohol you must be present at the time of delivery to accept your order.
  • DVC Resorts ask that you do not have groceries delivered to your resort prior to check-in due to space limitations.

Grocery Delivery Options

There are several options for grocery delivery to your DVC Resort. Below are a few options that many DVC Resort guests love to use:

Publix/Instacart

The South’s favorite grocery store now offers grocery delivery to all DVC Resorts. Simply download the Instacart app, set up your delivery location and time and start shopping. If you’d like to shop at other grocery stores in the Orlando metro area, you can also use Instacart to shop at other popular stores like BJ’s, Costco, Aldi, and more. Instacart also offers live chat messaging with your personal shopper so you can make sure you get that perfectly ripe avocado for your breakfast in the morning.

Pricing

  • $5.99 for one-hour delivery
  • $3.99 for two-hour+ delivery
  • Prices are for orders of over $35, first orders are free.

A service fee that supports the Instacart platform and its operating costs is added to the service. Also, in times when gas prices surge, a temporary fuel charge may also be added to your order.
