Dear Alicia,

There should be some Publix food stores in the area, in some of the shopping centers along International Drive, along which a shuttle bus runs.  The hotel may have a hotel shuttle van as well, that can take you to one.
I am sure that the local Orlando NFB chapter will have that information available at the information table or you can get it from the hotel's conseare.
If nothing else, my wive is planning to make a run to a store, to stock the fridge in our room and maybe she can help you out.
There are lots of stores, shopping centers and many major atractions along the I-Drive as it is called in orlando.
I live about 3 hours south of orlando in the city of Boca Raton, but I have been to orlando many times to go to the theme parks and to visit my daughter who attended UCF some years ago.
It should not be a problem.
I hope this info helps.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.

 Hi, everyone.  I apologize if their has already been a topic about this,  or  if someone has written information on it that I have missed.  
But, since I
 haven't seen anything, I have a question.

 Often at National convention I like to find somewhere to buy some  groceries  to keep in my room for the week.  It saves me a ton of food costs, as well  as from waiting in long lines for the hotel restaurants.  I know others do  the same at times.  Does anyone know if there is a grocery store anywhere  near the hotel, to buy things at?  Or, in past years, information has been  passed around of places that deliver groceries if ordered.  If anyone has  any info, please reply, or send me a message off list.  Thanks in advance.

 Alicia
