Did you know the mobile order service is now available at more than 35 locations throughout the Walt Disney World® Resort theme parks, Disney Springs® and select Disney Resort hotels?

This popular service, available through the My Disney Experience app*, lets you order ahead from wherever they happen to be and pick up food and beverages at their convenience – from DOLE Whip at Magic Kingdom® Park to Blue Milk at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and even some of our new, flavorful plant-based dishes. If guests purchased a package with a Disney dining plan, they can also redeem their meal and snack credits directly through the service.

Over the past several months, we have expanded the mobile order service to even more Disney Resort hotel dining locations, including Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, The Artist’s Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the Riverside Mill Food Court at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside, and Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. With these latest additions, the service is now available at 14 Disney Resort hotels, a great option whether guests are looking to start their day with Mickey Waffles or enjoy dinner and dessert after returning from a fun-filled day at the parks.

So, if you are ready to spend less time waiting and more time playing, be sure to tell them to use the mobile order service during their next Disney visit!

When it premiered six years ago, “Frozen” became an instant classic, as audiences embraced the music-filled tale of two sisters. Next month, their story continues with the debut of Disney’s epic new adventure, “Frozen 2.” Here’s a special message from two of the stars of the film, Kristen Bell and Josh Gad.

For a limited time this fall, when guests visit Disney Parks and or sail with Disney Cruise Line, they can get an early glimpse of scenes from “Frozen 2.” Beginning Nov. 3, 2019, a special look at moments from the film will be presented in the Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure® Park, for Guests gathered to experience the “Frozen – Live at the Hyperion” stage spectacular.

A sneak peek of the film will also be shown as part of the Walt Disney Presents attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® beginning on Nov. 5, and onboard Disney Cruise Line during the month of November.

In Disney’s new adventure, “Frozen 2,” Elsa sets out together with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven, on a dangerous but remarkable journey to discover why she was born with magical powers. The answer is calling her and threatening her kingdom. Elsa once feared her powers were too much for the world. Now, she must hope they are enough.

Disney’s “Frozen 2” arrives in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22, 2019
