Hi Jack!
Thanks for dropping by planDisney with your question!
I'm so happy to hear you're taking advantage of the Table Service to Go mobile ordering option when visiting Walt Disney World Resort. As Walt Disney World
"Returns to a World of Magic", Table Service restaurants have limited seating capacity. Table Service to Go is a feature of the
My Disney Experience mobile app that provides Guests with the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal from a favorite dining location, even if they haven't been able to secure an Advance Dining Reservation.
First, select your favorite restaurant that features Table Service to Go. At this time, participating restaurants include:
Sanaa (Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village),
Kona Cafe (Disney's Polynesian Village Resort),
Olivia's Cafe (Disney's Old Key West Resort),
Trattoria al Forno (Disney's Boardwalk),
Ale & Compass (Disney's Yacht Club Resort),
The Wave...of American Flavors (Disney's Contemporary Resort),
Geyser Point Bar & Grill (Disney's Wilderness Lodge), and
Three Bridges Bar and Grill at Villa del Lago (Disney's Coronado Springs Resort). (Please note that list is always subject to change.)
In the My Disney Experience app, on the home page, select the middle icon at the bottom - (the plus sign in a circle), and select "Order Food". Scroll until you find the restaurant of your choice and choose an Arrival Window. Your arrival window lets the restaurant staff know when to begin freshly preparing your meal. Since each meal is made to order, your wait will be about the same as if you were seated and waiting for your meal to arrive. Once your order is prepared, you will get a notification that your meal is ready for pickup!
Once you've selected your arrival window, you can build your order, from appetizers to dessert. Certain items are able to be customized, and every location offers allergy-friendly options. When you're done building your order, select "View My Order" to see a summary of your items. You will then finalize your order with payment. Currently, there is not an option to add a tip to your order on the app, nor is it expected.
I hope you enjoy using Table Service to Go!
