Imagine you are walking the path to Africa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Thrifty Thursday: Groceries 411


Garden Grocer is a grocery delivery service in Orlando. It’s a genius idea for a company if you ask me. You order your groceries online before you leave for your Disney trip, and schedule delivery for the day you get there or the next morning, depending on your time. They give you a two hour window and deliver right to your resort! One of the best parts? You don’t even have to be there yet! Your resort will accept delivery for you and will let you know your groceries have arrived:) Read more

Thrifty Thursday: Stars and Pancakes

I’ve done a lot of writing about cheaper eats at Disney World. Especially breakfast, which I love and totally swear by as a way to fuel up before a long day of Park hopping and fun times. 

About a year ago, I first explored thrifty breakfast options at the resort hotels, and then recently we re-examined a couple of breakfast options at deluxe resorts. But in doing all of that research, I missed the biggest, thriftiest breakfast option in Lake Buena Vista: the breakfast buffet at Garden Gallery in Shades of Green Resort.  Read more
