Re: Car rental - Easy? Worth it?
We will neve rgo without a car for th eentire trip again... but if we were looking for just one day of renting to get groceries, I would just go ahead and pay the delivery fee, because I can't imagine it would be more than a rental car.
You could get a cheap taxi and head over to Goodings very easily. It's so close and it also has liquor, so no second stop at a wine shop. We have had groceries delivered (ther eare two services, I believe, that you can choose from) every trip since we discovered the service. Love it!

Re: Car rental - Easy? Worth it?
How are you going to get from the airport to to the resort? I presume you are flying in. If you are using a town car service, they have a grocery stop on the way, where you can stock up. If not, as the others have said there are a couple of delivery services that will deliver to the resort (we have never used them). If you do want to rent a car for a day or 2 to go to Sea World or Universal Studios, you can rent a car on-site from either the Swan/Dolphin or from the main gate. National/Alamo is at both I believe. If you use the front gate one, they will send a courtesy van to you and bring you back when you return the car. We found it easy to use when we did it 5 years ago when my nephew graduated from high school down in Mt. Dora FL. It was a great excuse for a Disney trip.

Re: Car rental - Easy? Worth it?
We have always rented a car at the airport when we have flown in. It's really easy (reserve in advance--hotwire.com is great for discounts). You can usually rent a full-size for not much more than the cost of a limo to and from MCO.
