    Going on my honeymoon next month to Disney World and would sure apprieciate any help on where my driver could stop between the airport and my hotel (Coronado Springs). We get one 30 minute stop to pick up food and supplies. Looking for CCB and other craft brews to enjoy in my room or poolside.
    thank you...

    I dont have an answer, but I'm extremely interested as well, as we'll be going to Disney in Dec (also staying at Coronado) and I'm wondering where to grab some beer in the area.

    He said they have a driver, which I'm assuming means limo, and likely the limo service will only make 1 stop between destinations. That's how I read it.

    I had luck with Total Wine while I was there. Multiple locations.

    I hired a driver. He'll stop for thirty minutes somewhere between the airport and the hotel so that we can pick up any stuff we need/forgot/want (usually it's a grocery store). I'm looking for suggestions on where to stop for good beer? Thought maybe a grocery store that carries good brew... a grocery store next to a beverage center... all on the highway to Disney.

    Here is a tip you can't get alcohol inside the Magic Kingdom All the others(EPCOT,MGM,ANIMAL KINGDOM you can buy beer,wine etc)
    I worked at Disney for 12 yrs as a trainer

    I couldn't find any good craft in Disney world. Even in Epcot, the imports were mostly crap. Making a stop before getting there is very wise.

    Yeah, I heard that. Not really looking to party at the parks... just looking for stuff to enjoy when we get back from them. I will however have a couple of Unibroue's at Le Celliar.

    I went to Disney World on my Honeymoon. It was the first place we ever went on vacation together as just us some years prior. We actually make the trip every other year and will be doing the Wine and Dine half marathon in November.

    One place on property that I enjoyed last time and will be making it a priority this time as well is Big River Grille & Brewing Works

    We are also hitting up the food and wine festival, they usually have some decent brews.

    The other thing I did last time was send back a package filled with food and other supplies (mostly for our 8 month old daughter). The box included a couple of packs of Surly. We plan on doing this again this year.

    Most publix are carrying a fair amount of decent beer now and you can usually find CCB jai alai and soemetimes Tocabogga and Maduro.

    But if you can make it to total wine near millennia, that your closest/best option to Disney.

    Agree with Publix and if you only have 30 minutes and need food too, then it's really your best option. I never saw Jai Alai at any Publix though but always have seen Maduro Brown. You will also see Bells 2 Hearted there and enough good stuff to get bye. As mentioned above, Knightly Spirits is great, but make sure you go to the one on Orange Blssom Trail, the others don't have nearly the selection.

    Lived in Orlando all the way through college and worked at Walt Disney World during that time... the best location that's on the way from the airport is going to be Knightly Spirits. Fantastic beer selection and it's right off the highway that you're already taking from the airport to WDW. Simply have the driver take 417 from the airport, exit at Orange Blossom Trail, turn north (left) and it'll be on the right hand side. Easy and fast.

    Used to drive that route every day to work and stopped at the store frequently. :wink:
