Publix is the way to go in FL. walmart is filthy, esp the produce area.If you have a larger order, Walmart Grocery can cost significantly less than the other options (they also have a HUGE selection).
We've physically shopped at the Walmart in Kissimmee (as well as Publix & Winn-Dixie nearby) repeatedly, & have ordered from that Walmart at least 15 times.Publix is the way to go in FL. walmart is filthy, esp the produce area.
Is it customary to tip the prime now delivery person? I’m assuming so, right?Last time we were there we used Amazon's PrimeNow. No charge for delivery because DH met them in the lobby. Bell Services didn't have to deal with any of it. We're already Prime members so it was an affordable choice for us and it was not a very big order.
Yes, it is.Is it customary to tip the prime now delivery person? I’m assuming so, right?
Are you talking about the Old Lake Wilson Rd store? We'll be staying at AKL next month and plan to pick up groceries there. (Never thought we'd be Walmart Grocery shoppers, but the pandemic changed that. We do almost all of our grocery shopping through their Pickup & Delivery service: love it!). SO excited to be able to use this service there, since grocery shopping cuts into my vacation time!We've physically shopped at the Walmart in Kissimmee (as well as Publix & Winn-Dixie nearby) repeatedly, & have ordered from that Walmart at least 15 times.
Perhaps you are speaking of a different Walmart, as that one has always been very clean, well stocked, & organized. We absolutely would not shop there at all if there was any question of cleanliness whatsoever. At worst, the parking lot may have a stray piece of paper every once in a while, but I've even seen that occasionally in Disney parking lots

Thanks! If we were at BWV that would be a closer store, but from AKL the one I listed is closer. Since we'll have a car, we'll do pickup.We use the one on 535/Vineland: 3250 Vineland Rd, Kissimmee, FL 34746
I understand completely - I had never even entered a Walmart until we started food shopping while at Disney . They have a HUGE selection (including items you can't get at a grocery store such as salon shampoo, specialty foods, even pillows & such), & food quality is at least identical to what we've purchased at Winn-Dixie & Publix.
Btw, they mostly use UberEats for the actual deliveries to resorts- every driver has been very timely & helpful.
I agree, the one time we went to that Walmart. it was clean...but the crowds were huge, and it took nearly 45 minutes to check out. Now I order through Amazon Prime Now, different from regular Amazon App, when I'm at Disney. OR if we want a special item like a cake, then Publix.We've physically shopped at the Walmart in Kissimmee (as well as Publix & Winn-Dixie nearby) repeatedly, & have ordered from that Walmart at least 15 times.

Really nice store, but the pricesAnyone remember shopping at Goodings? RIP
If you do something like Amazon Fresh or Prime Now and you are not there when it is delivered, will they refrigerate the items? What about frozen items, will they put those in the freezer? And how do they know what should go in the fridge/freezer if they do? Also is there a cutoff time for bell services? Our flight gets in our first night at 9:30 PM, I'm sure we won't get to the room till like 11:00 PM. I'm debating having the delivery set to come that first night or the next.Both are good options. I don't think Amazon Fresh delivers alcohol. Instacart will but you need to be present when they deliver and show ID. I've used dizzydolphindelivery.com for groceries and specialty items and have been very satisfied with their service but they are not the least expensive of the bunch. However, they will shop multiple locations to get exactly what you request.
Yes. The Bell services have huge refrigerated storage rooms for all this. I was clueless too. My shopped delivered our stuff to the Bellman, they kept it til our room was ready & we had the option to pick it up or they’d deliver it. We had a car so we opted to grab it.If you do something like Amazon Fresh and you are not there when it is delivered, will they refrigerate the items?
