A guide to grocery delivery at Disney World with Instacart, Kroger, Walmart, and more.
One thing I do to save money on every trip to Walt Disney World is get groceries delivered to my hotel.
I get breakfast food, snacks, drinks, sunscreen and more delivered right to my Disney World hotel for WAY less than I’d pay for similar items at the resort!
Here’s my complete guide to Disney World grocery delivery to help you save money on your trip.
How Disney World Grocery Delivery Works

I get groceries delivered every time I stay at a Disney World Resort
The basics of grocery delivery in Disney World are that you place your order before you leave through a site or app and schedule it to arrive after you do at your Disney World resort hotel.
It may be possible to have your grocery delivery left at the “Bell Services” desk at your hotel. Note that this is different from the check-in desk – just ask a cast member if you don’t know where it is located at your resort.
You can then retrieve it later or have it brought up to your room (both of which involve tipping the person handling your bags of groceries).
Alternatively, you can meet the delivery person at the entrance to your resort and they can hand off the groceries directly to you. Read on to learn all of the rules for grocery delivery at Disney hotels!
Disney World Grocery Delivery Rules
There are definitely some rules you will want to know before using a grocery delivery service at Disney World.
First, if there is alcohol in your order you will likely have to meet the delivery person with your ID in hand so they can verify your age. I recommend doing this outside the resort’s entrance to make it as easy as possible on the driver.
Next, you can only have your groceries delivered when you aren’t present IF you are staying at a Disney-owned resort (it will have the word “Disney’s in front of the name). Disney resorts will allow delivery people to leave your order at the Bell Desk as long as it doesn’t include alcohol. They will keep cold items in the refridgerator or freezer if necessary.
If you aren’t staying at a Disney-owned resort then you will have to be present to take your order from the driver at the time of delivery.
If you want to call the Bell Desk and have your grocery order delivered to your room, Disney policy says they will charge a $6 delivery fee to your hotel folio. I have never seen this charge at checkout but know that it is a possibility.
Last, if you want the Bell Desk to hold your order for later or deliver to your room, a tip is suggested. I tip $5 unless it’s a large or heavy order in which case I will tip at least $10.
What Services Deliver Groceries to Disney World Hotels?
There are many local and national options for grocery delivery in the Orlando area. I will cover the most popular services only but know that there are many more.
Many guests utilize the same grocery delivery service at home. The most popular national options are Instacart, DoorDash, Walmart, and Kroger. Read on for more details on using these services.
There are also local delivery services including Garden Grocer and Vacation Grocery Delivery (which employs current and former Disney World cast members). These cost more but offer a more personalized experience.
Using DoorDash at Disney World
I’ve started using DoorDash for all of my grocery deliveries at home and while traveling.
Why DoorDash? Because I have a complimentary DashPass membership (with free delivery) thanks to having my #1 favorite travel card in my wallet.
I usually opt for delivery from ALDI or Target for the best prices.
Not only do I save money by not buying overpriced stuff at the resort food court, but I don’t even pay a delivery fee.
Putting Together Your Order
Keep in mind that many stores have a $25 order minimum on DoorDash, so try to order everything in one go.
You’ll need to update the delivery address with your hotel’s address. I like to include the hotel’s name in the second address line to help the delivery person find it.
If you already know your room number I strongly suggest putting that on the order somewhere as well! I put it as “Guest Leah Althiser – Room 5220” for example.
I have placed many grocery orders while at Disney World. Some items we commonly order are:
- Fresh fruit
- Breakfast food to eat in our room (oatmeal, hard-boiled eggs, protein bars, etc.)
- Snacks to take into the parks
- Juice boxes
- Cream for our coffee
- Beer and wine
- Sunscreen
I’ve even ordered other random items such as medicine when my daughter caught a cold, bubble solution for her bubble wand, and swim floats to use at the pool.
I always opt to meet at a specific location right outside of the lobby or main entrance to the hotel.
Using Walmart+ At Disney World
If you happen to already be a Walmart+ member, you can use your free grocery delivery benefit at Disney World.
The minimum order is $35 for free delivery with Walmart+ and the process is very similar to using Instacart which is explained above.
You can set up your order ahead of time in the Walmart app or on the site. And if you aren’t already a member you can sign up for a free trial to get groceries delivered while you are on vacation.
Kroger Grocery Delivery
While there aren’t any physical Kroger stores in Orlando, you can actually still get Kroger to deliver groceries to your Disney World hotel!
Kroger will deliver groceries from a warehouse in Orlando. If you have a Boost membership you can get free delivery on $35+ orders.
Something that many people like abour Kroger grocery delivery is that there is no tip required or allowed. This can offer savings compared to other grocery delivery platforms.

As I already mentioned, there are local grocery delivery companies as well, the main two being Garden Grocer and Vacation Grocery Delivery. I have honestly never used these services since I am well versed in the national services that offer great value.
I hope this post helped you understand your options for Disney World grocery delivery. Any questions? Please leave a comment below!

What happens if your delivery was sent to a resort that you are no longer staying at? We checked out week's ago and ordered stuff but still had the resort address saved in our Amazon profile. It was delivered and recieved by the resort. What can we do?

I'm sorry that happened to you, Julio. I'd suggest first trying to call the hotel, which can be tricky with Disney. Just call the published number for the hotel and you'll be taken to a central operator. Explain your problem in detail, and have your resort confirmation number and dates of your stay ready. Hopefully they will connect you to someone actually at the hotel who can help. I have left items behind before and they successfully mailed them to me. I think I was charged a fee one time and not another, so just be prepared for that. I'd also suggest filling out this form online for a lost item: https://www.chargerback.com/disneyworld
