How to Mobile Order

To order, on your My Disney Experience App:

• Touch the menu icon (three horizontal bars) in the bottom right corner.
• Select Mobile Order Food from the next screen.
• You may need to re-sign in at this point as this transaction involves funds
• The app will retrieve your current orders.
• You’ll probably see “You don’t have any current mobile orders” unless you have one you haven’t picked up.
• Select Create New Order.
• Select the Restaurant.
• Click Order Food.
• Then you’ll see a screen like the one above where you’ll select your food and any drink items .
• Just select your items and quantity, customize if there are options,  and add them to your order.
• When you are done, click Review Order. You’ll see all the items that you have added to your order. At this point you can click on “Modify Order’ or Order Summery
•  Here you can select your payment options (card on file with your Disney.com profile or another) or Disney Dining Plan. You can enter a promo code if applicable as well
• Then click Purchase.
• Then Click I’m Here, Prepare My Order.

Your order will print out to be filled ahead of those still in line!

Then Just head to the Mobile Order Pick Up Window or area and your order will appear soon.

You can order from anywhere at any time the restaurant in question is open. Your order will be saved. You just have to pick the order up before the restaurant closes for the day. When you are close to the restaurant go back in the app and click I’m Here, Prepare My Order.

Mobile Order at Walt Disney World — FAQ

What is Mobile Order at Walt Disney World?
It’s an in-app way to order and pay for food at many Quick Service locations using My Disney Experience. Choose a pickup time, customize items, pay, then tap “I’m Here, Prepare My Order” so the kitchen starts your ticket.

Why use it instead of the regular line?
Mobile Order tickets are sent to the kitchen ahead of the standby line, so your food typically comes out faster—especially at peak lunch/dinner.

Where can I use Mobile Order?
Across all four theme parks and at many resort, water park, and Disney Springs venues. Examples include:
Magic Kingdom: Casey’s Corner, Columbia Harbour House, Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café, The Friar’s Nook, Pinocchio Village Haus, Sleepy Hollow, Sunshine Tree Terrace.
EPCOT: Connections Eatery, Regal Eagle Smokehouse, Sommerfest, Yorkshire County Fish Shop.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Docking Bay 7, Ronto Roasters, ABC Commissary, Backlot Express, Woody’s Lunch Box, Fairfax Fare, PizzeRizzo, Rosie’s All-American Café, Dockside Diner, Kat Saka’s Kettle, Milk Stand, Catalina Eddie’s.

Water Parks & Disney Springs: Leaning Palms, Typhoon Tilly’s, Lottawatta Lodge, D-Luxe Burger, Amorette’s Patisserie, B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co., and more.
Resorts: Many food courts/marketplaces such as Everything Pop, Capt. Cook’s, Contempo Café, Centertown Market, The Mara, Gasparilla Island Grill, Landscape of Flavors, The Artist’s Palette, Roaring Fork, The Market at Ale & Compass, etc.

How early can I place an order?
Anytime the restaurant is open in the app. Your order saves to Current Orders until you arrive and tap “I’m Here, Prepare My Order.”

How do I pay?
Use a card on file (or add one during checkout). If the Disney Dining Plan is available to you, you can select it at payment. Promo codes can be applied when offered.

Can I modify or cancel after purchasing?
Before you tap “I’m Here, Prepare My Order,” you can typically adjust items or your arrival window if the location supports it. After the kitchen starts, changes may be limited.

What about allergies or special requests?
Many locations include allergen-friendly menus and customization notes in the app. For severe allergies, request a chef/trained Cast Member at pickup.

Do all Mobile Order locations serve alcohol?
No. Some Magic Kingdom Mobile Order venues do not serve alcohol. Offerings vary by location.

Where do I pick up?
Watch your order status in the app and head to the clearly marked Mobile Order Pick-Up counter/area when it shows Ready.

Any pro tips?
Order before you’re hungry (place it while waiting for an attraction), pick off-peak windows, and only hit “I’m Here, Prepare My Order” when you’re nearby so it’s hot and fresh.
