Grocery shopping in the Disney area

With our Orlando condo equipped with a full kitchen a trip to the local Winn-Dixie grocery store was in order. I was blown away at the prices here-talk about resort area sticker shock! We purchased a few staples but being mobile and familiar with the area we headed about 10-15 miles of the Disney Resort area and completed our purchases at a Haines City FLA Super Wal-Mart.

The prices here were much more in line with what I’m used to seeing in the local Tri-State stores.

Theme parks were not part of this itinerary but I’ll share my thoughts on staying on-site at Disney compared to staying at an off-site hotel/motel/resort.
