food IS a theme park
Things have been a little wonky when it comes to dining in Disney World today.
Pinocchio Village House Mobile Order Signs
This morning, we noticed that Mobile Order was unavailable on the My Disney Experience app. We’ve been keeping an eye on how different quick service restaurants have handled the interruption today, but now it looks like the technical difficulties have been resolved.
We’ve been keeping track of ALL the dining updates in a reopened Disney World.

From the new Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist feature to Table Service To Go options in the existing Mobile Order function, the My Disney Experience app has seen some expansions when it comes to mobile dining. Today, it appears that Mobile Order experiencing some technical difficulties.
We’ve seen some BIG changes in Disney World since reopening that have greatly altered the parks as we once knew them.
Magic Kingdom
Since Disney World has been continuing forward with its health and safety initiatives, high-touch surfaces have been reduced in the parks and capacity has been limited. Mask requirements, temperature checks, and more are completely new, but there have been some big virtual changes as well.
One of the ways Disney World will be encouraging guests to reduce contact upon reopening is by utilizing the Mobile Order service at eligible quick-service restaurants.

But for table service restaurants, Disney World has added a new feature to its My Disney Experience app called Mobile Dine Check-In so that once you arrive for your dining reservation, you can bypass the host stand. Let’s see it in action!
Now there are even more ways to take advantage of Mobile Order at Disney World!
D-Luxe Burger
For years, Mobile Order has allowed guests to use the My Disney Experience app to pre-order and pre-pay for their food at select quick-service locations. Yesterday, we shared that they had added a new pick-up time feature to Mobile Order. Now, they have added new payment options.

With Disney facing a super weird summer and fall (most likely), we’re thinking the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival will look different than it has in previous years.
Epcot Food and Wine Festival
Since its inaugural year in 1995, the Epcot Food and Wine Festival has continued to grow in size and popularity. It’s an annual event that many Disney fans (us included!) look forward to exploring year after year.
But it seems likely that the festival will undergo some changes this year. We’ve seen the health and safety measures that were implemented with the reopening of Shanghai Disneyland and Disney Springs. So, how might the Food and Wine Festival be different?
You may have caught on to the fact that we here at DFB are pretty obsessed with the Kakamora Float. Inspired by the little coconut gremlins from Moana, this fruity creation first showed up at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and then became available throughout the day at Magic Kingdom’s Aloha Isle after the celebration ended.

Now, Disney has made it even easier to get your hands on this delicious island beverage with just the press of a button!
