I studied (seriously, took notes!) Your previous videos. We also saved SO much by ordering food! We had a great time- didnt take away from our experience at all!
I told my husband how much one bottle of water costs at Disney and he looked horrified. Your tips have been so good!!! I told him we will bring refillable bottles + buy water at costco before we go so we can fill our cups up/have water in the room. I was going to do a grocery order if we flew but now we're going to drive. I am going to costco right before and get muffins/pastries and fill my tupperware with them. I'll also get an assortment of fruit and we'll keep those cold in a cooler! ^_^ Perks of driving! hahahaha. Our trip is in November and I have a running list of ideas for target pick up sitting in my cart. My kids like cereal and I've been thinking about gettin some of the horizons shelf stable milks to stick in the cooler/beverage fridge in the resort. They're shelf stable so in the beverage fridge they should be okay!
thank you so much for all of your advice on ordering groceries to save money! i never knew you could do this! we will be taking our our 7, 5, and 2 year old for the first time to disney and i have been watching your videos and taking all the notes! LOVE your channel so much!
I love all the examples of breakfast you gave! I pressed fast forward 5 times and you were still giving examples. I had to give up at 6:15 when you started talking about all possible combinations of drinks...
Thank you Nina, this has been very helpful. My family is going soon. This is the type of stuff we do regularly when we go on trips. So Disney wouldn't be any different for us, even for work trips I have done this. Sometimes we have too many snacks. I will have to meet with the crew and decide 'before' going what we want instead of waiting until we get there.
We're a middle class family of four with Pirate FL annual passes. We definitely pack sandwiches, mini soda, and 8oz water bottle along with snacks for even 1day trips. We just get the kids popcorn refill, ice cream, and Goofy gummy. I respect this video and you for making it. I always tell my friend and family; poor and middle class family/ ppl can go to Disney too. Just plan, plan, plan. 💛
This video is great, even if I decide not to order groceries. It also gives me an idea of just how much the food at Disney costs. There are lots good tips for both options. Thanks!
We use Instacart to order groceries! It’s awesome and has saved us so much money. I also don’t like to cook on vacation, but we eat breakfast and lunch in our cabin or room (breakfast before we go to a park and then a later lunch when we come back for an afternoon break/swim). Then usually order quick service for dinner at a park or (rarely) have a dinner reservation. It has saved us so much money and we don’t get exhausted over marathon park days!
You are not crazy lol! You are saving money for special treats and souvenirs😃 We vacation in a cabin in Tennessee each Christmas and I do the same thing with groceries beverages and snacks.
@@MermaidNinaTravels Hey there Nina..I have a question..My sisters and I will be visiting Disney the last week of February. Any advice on the average temperatures this time of year? We are trying to decide what type of clothes to pack! Thank you😃
@@daniellejones2719 I would actually check the temp closer to trip as Feb could be warming up during the day but also cooler in the evenings. Good Luck!
I love your crazy Nina! I’m a crazy mom too 🤪 Question: Do you have a specific video or tips on booking dining through the app when you’re at that 60 days out mark from your trip? What time of day can you start selecting? Can you select multiple dining reservations for different parks and park days on that 60 day out day? Is there a special prompt that appears on the app when you’re 60 days out? Thanks!!
Hey Crazy Mom!! Love it! I don't have a video on just the HOW TO but I think I chat about it in this one - ua-cam.com/video/5xS_9xEDesY/v-deo.html And it changes depending on where you are staying Disney Resort or not. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Hey! And yes, that is the rule...however I've had them deliver anyways. But I am always prepared to be there with my ID. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I talk about the options in this Video and will post a review on the company after I use them :) ua-cam.com/video/QSj_ZSsPraY/v-deo.html Thanks for watching/commenting!
Garden Grocer site is still saying they will deliver perishables to your resort and they will be refrigerated until you pick them up, is that out of date??
I come from the future and you'll be happy to know that Cocacola classic is still averaging about $48.97 a case in the year 2025. I'm just messing with your head, but being overly prepared financially speaking, Will make the future seem very cheap as time goes on! Who's with me!

We do everything you talked about.
Awesome! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Great video! I just found you and have been binging! Do you need to be in-person to accept orders with alcohol?
Hey! And yes, that is the rule...however I've had them deliver anyways. But I am always prepared to be there with my ID. Thanks for watching/commenting!
How do you take/store your bottled water to the parks?
Not sure exactly what you mean? I pack in my Park Bag or transfer to a refillable bottle. Thanks for watching/commenting!
What transportation service will take you by Publics grocery store?
I talk about the options in this Video and will post a review on the company after I use them :) ua-cam.com/video/QSj_ZSsPraY/v-deo.html Thanks for watching/commenting!

That's true for most companies. The issue is...what will Bell Hop store? Many won't store adult drinks or Meds. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Buy cold cuts, make sandwiches and buy French Fries in Tomorrowland.
We make and pack PB Bagels and get Fries too! Thanks for watching/commenting!
I hope you’ll do a review of the service you use in place of ME. 💕
Of course I will and I have clients trying out various services too.
Dang, at California Adventure it’s like $10-11 for a beer
Gotta love those California prices, lol. Thanks for watching/commenting!
