The most recent update for the My Disney Experience app included the upcoming Mobile Order option. This new feature will begin on May 27 with the quick service restaurant opening in Pandora.
Disney has now announced that this option will be expanded to other quick service restaurants as well. Following Satu’li Canteen there are three other restaurants in Animal Kingdom that will offer Mobile Order this summer. They are Flame Tree Barbecue, Pizzafari, and Restaurantosaurus. Eventually Disney will expand this option to casual and quick service locations all over Disney World.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, I think this is a great addition to the app. It’s a good way to cut down on all the lines and get people in and out quickly. Guests will get to customize their orders and pay for their meal all in the app. When a guest is ready to pick up their meal they can click “I’m here” and the restaurant will start to prepare their food. Once it is ready an alert will be sent through the app.
For the time being guests will only be able to pay through the app with a credit card. Disney will not have the option to use dining plan credits through the app, but hopefully that will come soon. If a guest has a dietary restriction or a discount they wish to use they will have to go through the cashier too.
As with anything new there will be bugs that need to be worked out, but this is a helpful option that has big potential. It’s good to see that they will already be expanding the Mobile Order options this summer.
Disney has a video showing how Mobile Order works. Check it out below.

I love all things Disney, but my main love is for Disney World and I'm always planning for the next trip. Before becoming a Disney blogger, I was a radio DJ, so I guess I'm just continuing in the communication industry, just in a different form. I love talking Disney and I could talk about Disney all day. That's why I started blogging and created the Facebook group. The Disney community is full of friendly, helpful, and happy people...and I love being a part of it! If there is any Disney subject you would like to see covered just let me know! Need help planning your Disney vacation. Feel free to contact myself or Melissa at Never Stop Dreaming Travel Co. We love helping people plan their trips! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to check out our Countdown to Disney app! Feel free to email me with suggestions of things you would like to see in the app :-)
