food IS a theme park
We’re not gonna lie…we’re pretty fond of Mobile Order.
Mobile Order
It allows us to order our food at certain counter service dining locations around Disney World and the Disneyland Resort in advance. And it often lets us skip those lengthy Quick Service lines. We are allll about bypassing those Aloha Isle lines in Magic Kingdom.
Back in May, Disney announced that Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests would have the option of upgrading their MagicBand with 30 fun options. Our readers expressed a lot of enthusiasm for this discounted pricing on some of their favorite designs!

Essentially, guests staying at a Disney resort from late-May onward could log into My Disney Experience and choose to upgrade their complimentary solid-colored MagicBands to bands with designs featuring beloved characters, attractions, and more.

It’s no secret that we love Disney food. Let’s be real — we love all food. We also love saving money.
