food IS a theme park
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, there’s one thing that you absolutely NEED to have — the My Disney Experience app.
Main Street Train Station Disney World
This free app has SO many tools to help plan your trip, from ride wait times to park maps to Genie+ and so much more. One feature that we use frequently in MDE is Mobile Order, where you can order food from restaurants around the parks and resorts. But with the latest app update, Disney has CHANGED the system!
Disney parks have many iconic snacks, including Mickey Premium Bars, DOLE Whip swirls, and the infamous turkey legs. One snack also doubles as one of Disney’s most long-lasting in-park souvenirs: the popcorn bucket!
Magic Kingdom Premium Popcorn Bucket
You can pick from many different flavors of the freshly popped snack. This includes the classic butter flavor as well as more adventurous options, like the seasonal Holiday Festive Popcorn and otherworldly Blueberry Almond Popcorn from Pandora.
Getting some of your favorite Disney snacks just got EASIER.
Mobile Order Sign
There are a number of features within the My Disney Experience app that can help you get quick access to the snacks, meals, and merchandise you love. Mobile Order, Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist, Mobile Merchandise Checkout, and Table Service to-go are some of these. In Disney Springs, Mobile Order, however, is fairly limited. But now a few new restaurants have hit the service and this is a change you NEED to know about.
We’ve got BIG Disney World popcorn bucket news!
Popcorn Cart
If you’re someone who LOVES popcorn, the refillable popcorn buckets can be quite an amazing deal for you. Some popcorn buckets you can snag without a park ticket, while others you have to wait in hours-long lines for (hello, Figment popcorn bucket). We recently heard about a new popcorn bucket coming to Magic Kingdom, and now it’s HERE!

We know a lot of people dislike having to use their phone for another thing in Disney World, but a reminder that while using mobile order at the restaurants it’s at is encouraged, it’s not required! But if you are a fan of using the service, you’ll be excited to know that one more restaurant in Galaxy’s Edge has joined the mobile order side!
POP QUIZ! What’s the ONE thing that you can’t forget to take with you on a trip to Disney World? 🤔 Any guesses? That’s right! It’s your…smartphone!
Magic Kingdom
We used to be able to plan Disney World trips without looking at a screen, and while it’s still technically possible, it’s much more challenging. Nowadays, you essentially need your phone for everything from checking wait times to mobile ordering your food, not to mention the endless vacation photos that you’re going to want to take. And after the trip (or during the trip!), it all goes up on social media! The age of social media and smartphones has had a pretty major impact on Disney World in the last few years, causing them to make some BIG changes.
Planning for Disney World can be overwhelming, to say the least, and it’s HIGHLY likely you will forget certain things!
