Hey there, Alanna!
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I'm excited you are already exploring all of the fantastic features of the
Disneyland mobile app. This powerful little app will really help you make the most out of your visit and maximize your days at the Disneyland Resort.
As you mentioned, one of my favorite features of this app is
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering. This allows you to bypass the lines at select Quick Service restaurants at Disneyland Resort theme parks and hotels. With this feature you can order and pay for your meal right from the app, then just head to the Mobile Order Pick-Up area to grab it and go. At this time, the only way to purchase food on the app via mobile order is with a credit card saved to the app. Unfortunately you will not be able to use a Disney Gift Card or
Disney Visa Redemption Card unless you order and pay for your meal at the locations themselves in person. Keep in mind you can also use your Disney Visa Rewards at most merchandise locations in the parks as well.
Another fantastic feature of the Disneyland app is
Disney MaxPass. This allows you to make digital Disney FASTPASS selections right on your phone as well as gives you the ability to download all Disney PhotoPass pictures taken for no extra charge. With Disney MaxPass we are able to ride more attractions than ever while also experiencing so much more entertainment in the parks. Don't forget to also check the app regularly for attraction wait times and Character locations.
I hope this helps, and please return if you have any other questions about planning your magical vacation. Have a Fantasmic day!
