Hi Rebecca!
A very merry welcome to planDisney as you get ready to head to
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party tonight! This festive evening is full of holiday fun, including
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.
Rebecca,
Mobile Food and Beverage Ordering is one of my favorite tips for saving time in the parks. I love the convenience of placing an order while watching a show or finishing a ride and then finding my food waiting for me when I’m done! I’m happy to share that mobile ordering is available at select locations, but evening pick-up times may not be available until the party actually starts. One of my panelist pals,
Alison, shared that this was the case during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party which may explain why you were unable to place your order earlier today. You can find a full list of locations that offer mobile ordering on the party map, but I can share many popular choices are included, such as
Casey’s Corner and
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café.
While we’re talking about saving time, have you ever tried
Merchandise Mobile Checkout? This is another handy Mousektool found in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App and allows you to scan and pay for your order from within the app rather than standing in those long end-of-evening lines for that new pair of Minnie ears or must-have sweatshirt. You’ll find mobile checkout available at several locations around the parks, including two of my favorites -
Emporium in Magic Kingdom Park and
Creations Shop in EPCOT.
Rebecca, I ho-ho-hope you enjoy a wonderful evening at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
Cheers,
Kristi
