Beat the Lines – Mobile Order at Walt Disney World Counter Service Restaurants

By Steve 5 Comments

Waiting in line for Walt Disney World Attractions is a Given. But waiting in line to eat doesn’t have to be!

Note: During these times of social distancing and reduced restaurant capacity, almost every Walt Disney World Quick Service Restaurant that is open is using Mobile Order as the only or primary way of getting your food. Some Disney Resort Hotel Table Service Restaurants are also doing Mobile Order for Take Out!

The Solution

My Disney Experiences App Mobile Order!

Here is a portion of the Flame Tree Barbecue Menu.

When you use Mobile Order your order will print out ahead of all the people standing in line!

Pretty slick, right?

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.

Pecos Bill Mobile Order

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.

Where Can You Mobile Order Your Meals ?

The two best theme parks for Mobile Order are Disney Hollywood Studios and Disney Animal Kingdom. Epcot really hasn’t implemented Mobile Order much and all the locations in the Magic Kingdom that have mobile order do not serve alcohol.

Note: due to Disney’s reaction to the current health situation, almost every Quick Service location that is open now has Mobile Order!

Participating Theme Park Restaurants:

Hollywood Studios

  • ABC Commissary
  • Backlot Express
  • Catalina Eddie’s
  • Fairfax Fare
  • PizzeRizzo
  • Rosie’s All-American Café
  • Woody’s Lunch Box

    Thanks for the great post. Once again, you’ve explained things very well.
    I used Mobile ordering for the first time last year. It was great! Amazing how fast you get your order! And the app is really easy to use.

    Thank you for all the help you give us!
