Hi Everyone,

Beth, our travel agent, writes:

"Everyone is excited about the new Disney Magical Express
providing free transportation between the Orlando airport
and Disney resorts, but those who were really looking
forward to doing a grocery stop on the way in might be
wondering how to accomplish BOTH the free ride and the
groceries.

WE GO SHOP
will buy the brands you want at the store you want and you
pay the store prices. They just charge a shopping and
delivery fee of $15. The branch owners of WeGoShop.com in
the Disney area allow for a 50% off discount for first time
users if they are local residents.

GOODINGS
is a local grocery with several locations in the Orlando
area. They carry a very high quality of meats, bakery items,
etc., but their prices reflect the fact that this isn't a
huge chain. While the delivery fee is only $10, they have a
$50 minimum order and they do the shopping in their own
store so you'll pay more for most items than you would at,
say, Publix or WinnDixie. (You can also order online.)

NET GROCER
has been around for several years and there are many people
posting on the Disney fan boards that have used it with
great success. The only objection I have with them is that
they aren't local. They ship from the northeast, so you
can't get anything perishable, and your delivery comes by
FedEx to the resort so your at the mercy of the shipping
process. Shipping rates are based on the grocery total and
start at $5.99."

You can order frozen, pre-packaged meals from A La Zing
delivered to your hotel. Just heat and serve! They offer a
wide variety of dinners ranging from hearty home-cooked fare
to elegant, gourmet dining. To learn more, click here.

"We will have plenty of 4 and 5 day hopper Plus passes and 5
day regular hoppers at the old system and price. Disney will
be honoring them... I should have them for a couple of weeks
after January 2nd until we sell out."

"I thought I knew all the tips for saving money at WDW, even
being a member of the Magic Kingdom Club for over 15 years,
but just learning about [your ticket agent] saved our family
over $300!!! Thanks." Janet Handy, Bel Air, MD
