⏳ Save Time & Avoid Crowds
Instead of standing in long lines for food, you can continue riding rides, exploring lands, or watching parades. Once your arrival window begins, tap “I’m Here, Prepare My Order” and pick up your food in minutes.
Example: Waiting in the Space Mountain line? While you wait, place a Mobile Order for lunch at Plaza Inn. By the time you exit the ride, you can walk over, tap “I’m Here”, and grab your food — no waiting!
🎉 Order While In Line (or On the Move!)
Unlike traditional food lines, Mobile Order allows you to order wherever you are. Whether you’re walking to your next attraction or waiting for the parade, you can place an order and have it ready for pick-up.
Example: On your way to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? Mobile Order from Ronto Roasters so your Ronto Wrap is ready as soon as you arrive.
🍔 Customize Your Order Your Way
Want a burger with no onions or a salad with extra dressing? No problem. Mobile Order lets you customize your meal to fit your preferences.
Pro Tip: If you have dietary needs or food allergies, Mobile Order menus allow you to filter for allergy-friendly options.
📅 Plan Your Meal Times in Advance
Dining at peak times (like noon) can be hectic. Mobile Order lets you pick a time slot for when you want to eat — so if you know you want lunch at 12:30 p.m., you can schedule your pick-up ahead of time!
Pro Tip: Pick-up times fill up quickly during lunch and dinner, so plan ahead! If the time slot you want is gone, try adjusting your plans and checking the app frequently.
