So, there we were – Adventureland on Memorial Day weekend. The rising temperature by 11:00 a.m. was not quite typical for what we had experienced the past few times we had been at Walt Disney World Resort in May. My little princesses were quickly approaching pirate status and ready to make me walk the plank if I did not cool them off soon. I knew the pixie dust I needed, but it looked like all the buccaneers in Magic Kingdom Park had also discovered the treasure’s location. Blimey! However, this Disney Parks Moms Panelist knows all the good secrets, including how to get the bounty with just a quick use of my mobile device. Ye ol’ My Disney Experience mobile app saved the day and had my princesses returning to their magical selves with the quickest delivery of a pair of Dole Whip Floats even Captain Jack Sparrow could admire.

Have you used the Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering feature on the My Disney Experience mobile app yet? It really is such a timesaver during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Simply click the button for Mobile Food Orders or look for the Order Now button on the app’s Home screen. The list of participating dining locations is constantly growing. Currently, there are locations in all four theme parks, Disney Springs, and now even select Disney Resort Hotel Quick Services. Once you decide on the perfect menu items for your crew, complete your order with a credit card payment or linked Disney Dining Plan. Yes, that’s right! You can access your Quick Service and Snack entitlements right within Mobile Ordering, making the decision for just one more Dole Whip Float an easy choice.

You can build your order anytime during the day you would like to enjoy it. Wake up thinking about those smoked ribs at Flame Tree Barbecue (yes, my husband really does)? Save time by completing your order while riding the Disney bus on your way over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Once you arrive, look for the queue at the restaurant designated for Mobile Orders and just click the I’m Here button on your order in the app. Your barbecue ribs will be out to you in no time. Maybe you will have enough time to grab a whole handful of napkins first. Trust me, you will need them!

I hope this Mobile Ordering tip helps you enjoy a whole new world of quick meal and snack delivery. If you’d like more tips for your upcoming Disney Parks vacation, feel free to stop by the Disney Parks Moms Panel and share your questions with us.
