This Disney World App Change Just Made Mobile Ordering SO Much Easier

By Kendall Waltz Leave a Comment

Mobile Ordering is one of the best ways to save time in Disney World. Instead of waiting in line at the counter of a quick service restaurant, you can order on your phone, choose a time, and when you get close, hit “I’m here” and pick up your food. If there’s an option to Mobile Order, we’re probably going to do it.

While there are locations throughout the parks, you can also do it at some quick service locations at the hotels. For a bit, we couldn’t Mobile Order unless we were on property near the restaurant, but a new change has hit, and we couldn’t be happier.

You can now Mobile Order at some quick service restaurants at Disney World hotels without being nearby! That means you can order your meal before you get there for better planning.

When ordering, you might see a pop-up that says that Mobile Ordering is only available for guests staying at that specific resort, but if you click “OK,” you can still continue to place your order. If you love walking to the different resorts and checking out what they have to offer, grabbing a lunch or snacks from a few quick services is a great way to do it.

We tested it out with Captain Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and the Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and it worked easy peasy. While you can plan your food in advance, don’t forget that you won’t want to click “I’m here” until you are actually there (or just around the corner) because you don’t want your food sitting and getting cold.

Something to remember with Mobile Order is that you generally cannot make any customizations on the app. If you want to remove something from your meal, you’ll need to order at the counter to make it perfect for you.
