The Disney World Essentials We Never Pack

Packing your suitcase for Disney World is a fine art, and it’s one we’ve perfected over many dozens of visits.

If you’re flying to get to The Most Magical Place on Earth or you’re stuffing one vehicle with suitcases for a whole family, you’ll probably be forced to pack lighter than you might want to. Over the years, grocery delivery has saved us TONS of space.

For those who don’t have the packing space for snacks and groceries, there’s a great solution — Amazon Fresh. It’s our preferred method of grocery delivery for your Disney World Resort hotel, offering the chance for fresh groceries to be delivered directly to where you’re staying. No trip to the store required!

If you haven’t used Amazon Fresh before, here are a few basics you need to know. For pricing, there’s a $9.95 fee for orders under $50 of items, $6.95 over $50 of items, and there’s NO fee if your order is over $100. The Amazon Basics and Amazon Grocery Brands also have some pretty surprising prices — $2.77 for a gallon of milk? Color us surprised!

You can use this service to get all your favorite brands. This means that supplies like diapers for the babies, sunscreen for the whole family, or your preferred park bag snacks can all be purchased through Amazon Fresh and sent to your hotel. They also have FRESH (yes, legitimately fresh) food like cut fruit and cheese platters.

Some of the best items to order through this service for your Disney World trip include things like:

toiletries
diapers and wipes
park bag snacks
easy-to-make breakfast foods
fresh fruits and veggies
bottled water
your preferred kind of coffee or caffeinated beverage
over-the-counter medication
first aid items
sports drinks

DASANI water is shockingly pricey in the parks

So, how does it work for pickup at your resort? Well, you can place a same-day grocery delivery order or schedule your delivery up to 3 days in advance. Your order will be dropped off with Bell Services at your hotel, where they have a space for storing any items that need to be refrigerated. Once you’re available, stop by Bell Services to pick up your order and take it to your room!

Really, you guys, it’s THAT easy. This could save you a significant amount of suitcase space and hassle when traveling — just think of all the room you’ll have for souvenirs instead!

We like to order many of our favorite must-have snacks, drinks, etc, so we don’t have to pay for them in the parks, and we don’t have to worry about packing them. It really saves both time, stress, and money!
