Hi there, Elaine! Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and asking your wonderful Walt Disney World Resort vacation question!
Personally, one of my family’s favorite pastimes during our trips to Walt Disney World Resort is trying all of the different
dining locations on property! There are so many different options that range from quick-service grab and go all the way to fancy signature dining locations. Regardless of your budget, you’re sure to find a delicious meal that suits your tastes and wallet!
One helpful feature I frequently take advantage of is the
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering option on the
My Disney Experience mobile app! This feature allows Guests to order their meal ahead of time and save time throughout their stay. All you have to do is log into your account on the My Disney Experience app and select which dining location you would like to order from. Once you’ve placed your order, just let the restaurant know you’ve arrived by clicking the “I’m Here, Prepare My Order” button and you’ll receive a notification when your order is ready to be retrieved.
Guests may now use
Disney Gift Cards when utilizing the Mobile Ordering feature! At this time, your Disney Gift Card information is not stored on the My Disney Experience app so you will need to enter the information each time you intend to use it for an order. This does make it a bit easier to switch between different types of payment, fortunately! All you will need to do is select your credit card instead of entering your Disney Gift Card information whenever you would like to use that form of payment.
Best of luck as you continue to plan your visit to Walt Disney World Resort this August! Be sure to reach back out if we can answer any other questions for you as well!
