Planning a Disney trip and trying to save time, money, and your sanity? In this episode, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about getting groceries delivered straight to your Walt Disney World resort. 🛒🚘🥪

We’re talking the best delivery services, how to avoid sneaky fees, what items are worth ordering vs. bringing from home, and our go-to snack and breakfast staples that make busy park mornings way easier. 🎡🎢🐭

Notes:

• On Jess’s most recent trip to Walt Disney World (November 2025), she noted being told (stayed at Art of Animation) that it would be a $6 charge to bring up her order from Instacart with her luggage or without her luggage.

Grab your Minnie ears and your popcorn, because today we’re playing a Disney edition of This or That — inspired by the fun first episode of the Park Bench Pals podcast! 

Join us on the besties imaginary park bench as we debate the tough choices, laugh through the easy ones, and maybe cause a little friendly controversy along the way. Not only are we deciding this or that.. we’re guessing what our bestie is picking as well!

Whether you're listening from Main Street U.S.A. or dreaming of your next trip from home, this episode is all about the joy of Disney fandom, cozy conversation, and a sprinkle of pixie dust.

Tune in, play along, and let us know your picks — because in Disney, there’s always a little magic in choosing “this” or “that.” ✨🎢🍿

Mentions: We reference Jess’s upcoming trip to Walt Disney World quite a bit because she was going the next day! When this episode drops, she will be fully in the magic with her family. Stay tuned for that merry time, holiday trip series airing on December 1st to ring in the holiday season! 🎄✨
