We Found a WEIRD App Problem at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Halloween season has officially arrived in Disney World, and we are SO feeling the spooky season vibes. We’ve been drinking our pumpkin spice lattes, checking out some Halloween food, admiring all the fun fall and Halloween decor in Magic Kingdom, and going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Well, speaking of the party, we kinda’ have something we need to warn you about, especially if you plan on Mobile Ordering any food during the event.

So we recently attended Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which is a special ticketed event that happens on select nights in Magic Kingdom through October 31st. One of the things we love MOST about the party is that it has special foods and drinks that you can only get at the party, but we’ve run into a little bit of a food problem there!

So the cool thing is that you can use Mobile Order during the party to order your food and drinks ahead of time. HOWEVER, we had a problem with that. Typically, you place your order on the My Disney Experience app and select a window of time to pick it up. Then you go to the restaurant and let the app know that you’ve arrived. Usually after that, you get a notification when your food is ready for pick-up.

Mobile Order

Well, we did that, just like we always do, at the party, but we got a notification that our order was ready to be picked up BEFORE our scheduled time had even started and BEFORE we had even let the app know that we were at the restaurant. And that happened TWICE. And, yes, our food was actually ready EARLY. Obviously, this is a little frustrating when you’re over on the far side of the park, and your food is waiting for you on the other side, but you had plans to pick it up at a certain time (which is how Mobile Order is supposed to work).

Skull-icious Cake

We don’t know if this problem was specific to the party we attended or if it’s something that might be a continuous problem throughout other parties, but we wanted to give you a heads-up, just in case.

We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney World news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
