Hello again, Anne! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I must say that I love
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering through the My Disney Experience mobile app! More locations continue to be added to this feature and it is such a time-saver. I use it on every visit!
With Mobile Ordering, payment is accepted through the
My Disney Experience mobile app and there isn't an option to pay when you arrive to pick-up your food. You can use your
dining plan with the mobile app, but each room will need a separate order in order to use their dining plan entitlements for the meal. Depending on how your accounts are linked, you may be able to place the separate orders for everyone, but it would make more sense to have each room place their own order with their
My Disney Experience accounts to use their dining plan entitlements.
If you seem to have issues with using your dining plan with Mobile Ordering, you can always order the traditional way in person and have the Cast Member apply your dining plan appropriately. Even though this may take longer than Mobile Ordering, it will help make things easier if the separate dining plans prove to be more complicated.
I hope this helps, Anne! Enjoy your vacation!
