What do you buy off property?

A lot of us have mentioned stopping at a store on the way into WDW to grab some things. What is so necessary that you go off property to buy it? We usually buy water and sometimes snacks, usually poptarts or some candy. What's on your shopping list?

The only thing we usually go off property for is Diet Pepsi.

We stock up on granola bars and other snacks that are easy to grab when we come back to the room and are starving or when we head out in the morning. Usually we try to buy semi-healthy stuff, as we're not often eating all that healthy in the parks.

We also drive down so we are able to shop at home before we leave. Usually we bring snacks for the room and breakfast bars. The only other thing we go off property for is Mexican food...Garibaldi's on Bronson Highway (192) near John Young Parkway....yuuuuummmmm!! Everything I've ever had there has been delicious!!

We usually get water and light snacks. Since we won't have a car this time I'm not sure what we're going to do.

Oof! Disney gets enough cracks at selling me something. It's really dangerous to head out to more people who want your money!

You'll have access to plenty of stuff in the AKV shop. They stock those pretty well for those staying DVC who have kitchens.

Bella -- No worries -- we get pop tarts, too Wink

I had to stop buying PopTarts..because I have found I can't eat just one..and it just turns into an ugly cycle of Tart.

I've been eating the Fiber One ones when I'm in a hurry on work days for a couple years now and I can no longer enjoy Pop Tarts. Now they are just too sweet and totally insubstantial.

I usually make a stop at Publix for a couple bottles of water, wine and breakfast stuff.

I hate going out for breakfast and like having a little wine in the evenings before I head out for dinner.

Saves money too so I can go more often. biggrin
