Hi there, Alexis! I see that you are visiting in December, which is one of my favorite times to be at The Most Magical Place on Earth! I love all the holiday decorations, especially the huge gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
While it was true that for a short time, you could only order on the
MyDisneyExperience mobile app at quick service locations, that is not entirely the case currently. Now, I will also say that mobile ordering is amazing and convenient. You can pay on the MyDisneyExperience app with a Disney Gift Card, so maybe that is a good option for you.
Should you decide that you only want to pay with cash, you can go up to the counter and order at many locations. You will probably need to see a cast member at the entrance, and they can direct you inside to order. It is way more convenient to order on the app and select your pick-up window, rather than wait for your food to be completed.
If you make dining reservations at any full-service restaurants, you can also pay cash. I have found recently that it is quite easy to get a same-day reservation at many locations, you simply need to check on the MyDisneyExperience app.
I hope this helps with planning for your December vacation to
The Most Magical Celebration on Earth.
Happy Traveling (& eating),
Tracy
