New Fortune-Telling Fun to Experience at Disneyland Resort on the Play Disney Parks Mobile App

This just in – two new exciting experiences were just added to the Play Disney Parks mobile app for Guests to enjoy at the Disneyland® Resort! Now, with the Play Disney Parks app, your Clients can collect dozens of all-new fortunes and a series of stories as told by Esmeralda the Fortune Teller on Main Street, U.S.A., and Fortune Red in New Orleans Square atDisneyland Park.

Each day your Clients visit the park, they can collect one fortune and a piece of the fortune teller’s story at both Esmeralda the Fortune Teller and Fortune Red through the Play Disney Parks app, without inserting a quarter! Guests can come back on another day to get another fortune and the next part of the story. Much like our current experiences with these fortune tellers, the fortune will be printed for the Guest on a collectible card for a fun keepsake, plus the card will have the next chapter of the story. The fortune teller’s stories obtained by your Clients will also be digitally collected in the Play Disney Parks app to be able to enjoy anytime they choose! Or, for those eager to get to the next chapter of the story right away, they can choose to drop a quarter into the machine for an additional fortune and another part of the story that same day. There are three 10-part stories at each machine to collect!

No trip to Main Street, U.S.A., is truly complete without a stop at this popular fortune teller. Guests have visited this iconic spot in the Penny Arcade for years to take home a special memory, a fortune from Esmeralda. Now, your Clients can see what Esmeralda reveals for them—including dozens of fortunes unique to the Play Disney Parks app and a series of multi-part stories from her past.

Mobile Ordering at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts Offers Convenience and Flexibility

Did you know that guests can skip the order line at select quick-service dining locations at Walt Disney World® and Disneyland® Resorts? All they need is their smartphone and the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps, which lets them order, pay for and pick up fresh meals and snacks on demand right from their fingertips.

The mobile order service offers guests the convenience and flexibility of ordering hours or even minutes in advance from wherever they happen to be – whether waiting in line at an attraction, on the monorail headed to the parks or even upon their arrival at the restaurant. The service debuted last year and has since expanded to Disneyland Resort as well, currently available at more than 20 quick-service dining locations across Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure® park.

And recently, Walt Disney World Resort celebrated a very special milestone for this service: 1 million mobile orders!

Chef Mickey Mouse was on hand at Magic Kingdom® Park to commemorate the occasion with the Walt Disney WorldResort Ambassadors, as well as Cast Members who have helped Guests order, pick up and enjoy many of these million mobile orders. Together, they surprised and honored the Ramos family from Winston-Salem, North Carolina as they picked up their mobile order of Dole® Whip items at Aloha Isle. Take a look below to see their reaction!

Be sure you download the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps in the App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices to take advantage of mobile ordering during their next visit to the parks!
