Mobile Ordering Will Be Expanded to Several Restaurants at Disney's Animal Kingdom:
Mobile Ordering was officially added the other day on the My Disney Experience app ahead of its official debut on May 27 at Santu'li Canteen when it opens in Pandora: The World of Avatar. Mobile Ordering will be expanded to several other Disney's Animal Kingdom quick service restaurants this summer. It will expand to Pizzafari, Flame Tree Barbecue, and Restaurantosaurus sometime this summer.
Even more restaurants at other Walt Disney World parks will have access to Mobile Ordering in the very near future as well. Here is the rundown as well as a video of just how Mobile Ordering works:
Mobile Order, which can be found in the My Disney Experience app, offers the added convenience of being able to place orders and purchase meals on-the-go. You select menu items, customize orders and pre-pay for meals during park visits – all within the app.
It’s easy to do. After you’ve placed your order and pre-pay in the app, and arrive at Satu’li Canteen, you’ll just tap the “I’m here” button. That will notify the kitchen to prepare your meal. When ready, you will be alerted through the app to pick up your meal at the designated window with the Mobile Order pick up sign.
Reminder: Right now credit card is the only accepted form of payment for Mobile Ordering. Anyone with special dietary restrictions, or those who want to use discounts or redeem dining plan entitlements must place their order with a cashier.
