Did Disney World Just Quietly Add a NEW Mobile Order Rule?

When we’re at Disney World, we use mobile ordering like our lives depend on it. It’s the best way to skip the line and take your food to-go!

But Disney World’s My Disney Experience app just added a major new mobile ordering change that could affect your next meal. Here’s everything you need to know about the change.

The My Disney Experience app has restricted mobile ordering at certain locations. There are now four popular Disney World restaurants that don’t allow mobile ordering unless you’re physically at the restaurant! Here’s the full list:

Gasparilla Island Grill at the Grand Floridian Resort
Capt. Cook’s at the Polynesian Village
Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary Resort
Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge

Dulce de Leche Brownie at Gasparilla Island Grille

Currently, if you try to mobile order using the My Disney Experience at these four restaurants, the app shows an error message that says “You’re too far away,” and prompts you to move closer to the restaurant to place a mobile order. Once you’re near the restaurant, usually around the resort in general, you can still place a mobile order like normal.

It’s important to note that right now, this mobile order change is only for these four restaurants: Gasparilla Island Grill at the Grand Floridian Resort, Capt. Cook’s at the Polynesian Village, Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary Resort, and Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge. You can still mobile order like usual in all four theme parks and at other resort quick-service spots not listed!

Additionally, Disney hasn’t made any announcements about the change. This may be just a glitch, since some of our team members with an older, non-updated version of the app were able to mobile order while in a different country. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on whether this change is permanent, temporary, or just a glitch.
