Mobile Order Adds Two More Locations at Walt Disney World

July 21, 2017

Walt Disney World continues to expand the Mobile Order Food & Beverage service for the convenience of park guests. Next week will see the addition of two Magic Kingdom quick service locations to the list of restaurants that offer Mobile Order. Pinocchio Village Haus will begin offering Mobile Order on July 24 and Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe will follow the next day.

You can now use Mobile Order at the following Walt Disney World locations:

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café
D-Luxe Burger
Flame Tree Barbecue
Pizzafari
Restaurantosaurus
Satu’li Canteen
Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant

Mobile Order allows guests the convenience of reviewing menus and placing food orders from the convenience of their smart phones. Guests simply access the service through the My Disney Experience app. Once the app is opened, the steps are pretty easy to place your order.

Tap on your character, then scroll to “My Plans” and press the “Order Food” button.
Select “Dining” from the top of the app, select the restaurant you want and press “Order Food.”
Once your order is complete, you pay from the convenience of your phone. Currently, Mobile Order is only accepting Credit and Debit cards. Other forms of payment, including dining plans, would have to be ordered in person.

Upon arrival at the restaurants, guests then open the My Disney Experience app and select “I’m Here, Prepare My Order.” When your food is ready you will receive a notification from the app and you will gather your food from the “Mobile Food Pick up” area.

Will the Magic Kingdom See the Return of the Main Street Electrical Parade?

By

We previously were all but certain that the Paint the Night nighttime parade, most recently at Disneyland, was packed up and ready to be shipped off to another Disney Park. The Main Street Electrical Parade has been running at Disneyland Park since January after leaving a hole in the Magic Kingdom’s nighttime parade schedule. With all this information it seemed like the most logical place for Paint the Night to go to was the Magic Kingdom.

Well, we will admit it. We were wrong. While it was announced at the D23 Expo that Paint the Night is indeed going to another Disney Park, it’s just going across the Esplanade at Disneyland to California Adventure. Lots of people didn’t think it was going to be coming to Disney World anyway due to the size of the floats not being able to fit the streets of any of the Disney World Parks. While the Pixar Play Parade is coming back to Disneyland Park, the Main Street Electrical Parade is scheduled to end it’s run there next month. (It was actually scheduled to end in June but was extended to August.)

Now the question is, what happens to the Main Street Electrical Parade? The folks over at The Kingdom Insider give us three theories:

Disney retires the parade completely.
Disney ships the parade off on a “world tour” of the other Disney Parks around the globe.
The parade is sent back to the Magic Kingdom.

Rumors have been circulating that Disney is working on a next-gen replacement for the parade ever since it left the Magic Kingdom last Fall. However, the debut of a brand new parade does not appear to be happening anytime soon. We can only hope that the Main Street Electrical Parade will be sent back to the Magic Kingdom so we can have our nighttime parade back to hold us over until a new one is released in the future!

Let us know what you think will happen to this iconic parade.

Wonderland Doorknob Decal

Alice in Wonderland was one of my favorite Disney animated movies as a child. The characters and designs from it have such a whimsical element, that I love to include in my home. I think this Alice in Wonderland Doorknob Decal would be an awesome accent to any room.

With this wall decal you can pretend to look through the keyhole just like Alice, and maybe even see Wonderland. This decal would be perfect to add a bit of whimsical wonderland flair to a Disney themed bedroom, nursery or living room. It is a simple and inexpensive way to update a room. They are very easy for you to apply, simply peel, stick and enjoy a little bit of Disney magic. It comes in 5 different size options, so you can choose the impact that suits your decorating needs best.

Can you imagine how adorable this would look in a breakfast nook with a Mad Tea Party theme? There are so many ideas I could use this for, even a wonderland themed nursery.

You can get your own here!

Would you use an Alice in Wonderland Doorknob Decal to add a little bit of whimsical Disney magic to your home?

Disney announced a new partnership with Lenovo at D23 this summer. The two companies will be teaming up to bring us the Star Wars: Jedi Challenges Augmented Reality Lenovo Headset. Soon you can awaken your inner Jedi with this new app‑enabled augmented reality experience.

The set comes with headgear, and a lightsaber motion controller, and will use a smartphone to run the interactive augmented reality game. You will be able to immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe among fierce battles, and even a game of Holochess. The first game will be Star Wars: Jedi Challenges, however more Star Wars games could make their way to the new platform in the future.

I wonder if we’ll see any of this augmented reality style activities at the new Disney Star Wars Resort?

Currently there is no announced release date, but it will be available at Best Buy, and you can sign up at the website here to get updates of when it will launch. Will you be checking out the new Star Wars: Jedi Challenges Augmented Reality Lenovo Headset when it debuts?
